The invention relates to a sensorless control method for a permanent magnet synchronous motor. In the sensorless condition of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, two major methods are mainly provided for obtaining rotor information, one method is a method for constructing a state observer, and rotor position information is obtained from a back electromotive force signal. Due to the fact that back electromotive force signals are weak when the motor operates at a low speed, the method is poor in performance of estimating the rotor position at a low speed, the permanent magnet synchronous motor does not generate back electromotive force at a zero speed and cannot estimate the rotor position, but has excellent performance in a medium-high speed range. The method comprises the following steps: establishing a permanent magnet synchronous motor model, constructing a rotor flux linkage observer to observe rotor position information, carrying out initial value estimation and compensation onthe rotor flux linkage observer, constructing a rotating speed observer, converting the rotor position information into rotating speed information, and constructing an id controller to complete errorcompensation. The sensorless control method is used for the permanent magnet synchronous motor.
