Abstract This paper deals with a position sensorless control of a permanent magnet stepping motor. The proposed controller is designed to reduce the studied actuator oscillations and overshoot which can induce an erratic working. As the mechanical solutions are expensive and cumbersome, the control ones are considered to be the most suitable. Closed loop control of these motors offers significa...

Sensorless position control of Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (SMPMSM) still is a challenge. High performance position control at low and zero speed is only possible using anisotropic effects being not considered in the fundamental-frequency machine models but in extended highfrequency models. This paper presents a new highfrequency injection method estimating the rotor p...

This paper investigates a novel direct torque control (DTC) for a sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on a sliding mode technique (SMC). The speed and position of the interior PMSM are estimated online based on active flux concept. To overcome the large ripple content associated with the direct torque, a torque/flux sliding mode controller has been employed. Two ...
