A Position-Sensorless IPM Motor Drive System Using a Position Estimation Based on Magnetic Saliency

A Sensorless Initial Rotor Position Estimation Scheme for a Vector Controlled IPMSM Drive

Vector field oriented control (VFOC) of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive requires accurate velocity information sensed by a speed or position sensor attached to the rotor. Nowadays, sensorless control is adopted in many industrial applications for reasons of robustness, cost, cabling and reliability. This paper presents a novel sensorless control strategy and initial rotor positi...

A Sensorless PM Synchronous Motor Drive with Full Range Speed and Position Control

A Novel MRAS Based Estimator for Speed-Sensorless Induction Motor Drive

In this paper, a novel stator current based Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) estimator for speed estimation in the speed-sensorless vector controlled induction motor drives is presented. In the proposed MRAS estimator, measured stator current of the induction motor is considered as a reference model. The estimated stator current is produced in an adjustable model to compare with the measu...

Sensorless Position Control of Stepper Motor Using Extended Kalman Filter

This paper describes simple position control of sensorless hybrid stepper motor (HSM). A mathematical model for hybrid stepper motor is derived using mechanical and electrical equations, which is used to estimate the position of the motor using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). In position control, estimated value is compared with the reference position and when both coincide, the motor is held at ...

Rotor Position of Switched Reluctance Motor Using Sensorless Method

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is an energy converter that converts an electrical energy to mechanical energy in motoring operation and vice-versa in generating operation. When the rotor is out of alignment, the inductance is very low and the current also increase rapidly. The rotor is aligned with the stator then the inductance become very large. In the simulation results, how the rotor minim...
