Abstract: The sensorless control of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has attracted wide attention due to its high reliability, economic and safety benefits. A fast and high-precision rotor-position estimation is inevitable for the implementation of sensorless control. Sliding-mode observer (SMO) is a preferred solution for sensorless control by many industrial companies. This article addresses the comparison of different switching functions employed in the control structure of sensorless field-oriented control with SMO. The switching functions are classified and their influence on the performance of the PMSM is verified for different shaping coefficients (SC). In addition, a statistical evaluation of the switching functions is provided to find the optimal values of SC. An experimental and statistical evaluation validated the substitutability of signum and hyperbolic switching functions and optimal values of SC have been found.
