摘要: 水下作业平台的推进系统通常被集成在狭窄的舱体中, 空间布局高度受限。传统永磁同步电机矢量控制系统依赖于多个电流传感器与位置传感器, 不仅挤占了功率器件的散热空间, 而且在深海高压腐蚀环境中面临更高的传感器失效风险。为应对上述问题, 文中提出一种紧凑型无感控制方案, 融合单电流传感器技术与扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF), 以简化系统硬件结构。针对单电流传感器技术存在的测量盲区问题, 通过优化空间矢量调制时序, 在有效电压矢量作用时间不足时主动插入专用的非零测量矢量, 以构建稳定的电流采样窗口, 从而有效改善重构相电流波形的畸变。此外, 为了提升系统在动态负载下的响应速度, 改进了EKF观测器, 将负载转矩作为扩展状态变量进行实时辨识, 并通过前馈补偿机制增强系统对负载扰动的抑制能力。实验结果表明, 重构电流波形与实际电流波形高度吻合。与传统EKF、滑模观测器(SMO)、龙贝格-滑模观测器(L-SMO)相比, 改进EKF在转速波动抑制与恢复速度上表现更优。所提方案在简化硬件结构的同时, 兼备高精度与强鲁棒性的控制性能, 适用于复杂水下作业环境。Abstract: The propulsion system of underwater operating platform is typically integrated within narrow compartment, imposing severe constraints on spatial layout. Traditional vector control system for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor relies on multiple current sensor and a position sensor. This not only occupies the thermal dissipation space required for power device but also increases the risk of sensor failure in harsh deep-sea environment characterized by high pressure and corrosion.To address these challenges, this paper proposes a compact sensorless control scheme that integrates single current sensor technology with an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to simplify the hardware architecture. To overcome the measurement blind spot inherent in single current sensor sampling, the scheme optimizes Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation timing. Specifically, when the duration of the effective voltage vector is insufficient for sampling, a non-zero measurement vector is dynamically inserted to create a stable current sampling window. This effectively suppresses distortion in the reconstructed phase current waveform.Furthermore, to enhance the system response speed under dynamic load, this paper improves the EKF observer by incorporating the load torque as an extended state variable for real-time estimation. A feedforward compensation mechanism is employed to bolster the system ability to suppress load disturbance.Experimental results demonstrate that the reconstructed current waveform closely matches the actual current waveform. Compared to traditional EKF, sliding mode observer (SMO) and Luenberger sliding mode observer (L-SMO), the improved EKF exhibits superior performance in suppressing speed fluctuation and achieving faster recovery.The proposed solution successfully simplifies the hardware structure while achieving control performance with high precision and strong robustness, making it highly suitable for complex underwater operating environment.
