The adaptive filters (ANF) have been commonly used in current harmonic suppression. However, the digital delay will narrow the stability region and its harmonic suppression performance will be deteriorated at high-speed region. To overcome this problem, this paper proposed two modified ANF. Combining with the deadbeat current (DBC) controller, the effect of digital delay on ANF is analyzed. A simple one step harmonic prediction method (OSPANF) is proposed to replace the traditional steepest gradient method (SGM). Based on the OSPANF, the current can be controlled stably in the high-speed area and the harmonic suppression effect is better than the traditional notch filter. Through bode diagram analysis, OSPANF will have a harmonic amplification peak near the set notch frequency, which may bring additional disturbances. Thus, a two steps prediction adaptive notch filter (TSPANF) is implemented. Through the Experimental results, it can be proved that the proposed TSPANF method has better harmonic suppression effect in the high-speed area than OSPANF and the stability region of the proposed two methods is larger than the traditional method.

This article proposes a pseudo-random high-frequency triangular-wave current signal injection (PR-HFTCI) based sensorless control scheme for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives at zero-low speed domain to suppress the high-frequency (HF) loss and the HF audible noise which are introduced by the significant nonlinearities of SynRMs and the traditional constant amplitude HF square-wave voltage injection method. The pseudo-random HF triangular-wave current signal with random frequency and random phase is injected to eliminate the discrete spectrum of the current power spectra density (PSD) and the corresponding current PSD analysis is performed to evaluate it. In addition, the HF component amplitude of the d-axis voltage reference can be adjusted adaptively with the variation of load to maintain the HF current amplitude constant, it is easy to implement and does not require any extra regulator and signal processing. Hence, the HF loss and the HF torque ripple can be effectively reduced under the heavy load. Finally, the effectiveness and the correctness of the proposed PR-HFTCI based sensorless control scheme are validated with experiments on a 1.5-kW SynRM drive platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
