Abstract
BLDC motor is widely used as a servo motor, because it has high efficiency, high power ratio, low inertia, and easy maintenance. However, position and speed sensors generally attached in BLDC motor increase motor cost, and limit environments of application. This study describes a sensorless speed control of sinusoidal BLDC motor using the d-q transformed instantaneous voltage equation, and presents the result of computer simulation. The sensorless algorithm is applied to the casse of a voltage controlled PWM inverter. The result indicates good dynamics and a robust control in cases of a load change and a system parameter variation.
