This paper presents a comparison of rotor position estimation of a switched reluctance motor(SRM) with built-in search coils by three methods. The search coil EMFs are not generated in the SRM with built-in search coils at standstill. So an initial rotor position estimation method is needed. In this paper squared euclidean distance, fuzzy logic and neural network methods we proposed for the estimation of initial rotor position. The simulated results of the three methods are compared. The simulated result of the squared euclidean distance method, which has the best performance, is supported by the experimental result.

As the exciting point of each phase is determined by the position of rotor, the rotor's accurate position-information is needed for the Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM). When using an absolute-encoder or a resolver, to detect the location of rotor the initial starting is possible, as early sensing of rotor's location is possible. However, this is not appropriate, considering the economical efficiency, and in case of using the incremental-encoder, there's a problem at initial starting as it is not easy to track down the location of rotor at the very beginning. When using Hall-ICs, there's a fault, as it needs a special ring magnet. Considering the initial starting and economical efficiency, the optical sensor technique using a slotted-disk and an opto-interrupter is appropriate, however, this method needs three opto-interrupters and a slotted-disk when using the 6/4 pole SRM. Nevertheless, in this paper, it used only two optical sensors to operate 6/4 pole SRM and made the start up and also forward and reverse operation possible. By excluding the slotted-disc md shortening a optical sensor, it improved the convenience and economical efficiency of the production. Also, as the space for slotted-disc is no more needed, it was able to reduce the size of motor.

영구자석 동기전동기의 고성능 제어를 위해서는 회전자 자극위치에 대한 정확한 정보가 반드시 필요하다. 대부분의 전동기 제어 시스템에서는 증분형 엔코더 또는 레졸버를 사용하여 회전자의 위치를 검출한다. 레졸버는 내환경성이 좋고 엔코더에 비해 가격이 저렴하여 골프차와 전동지게차 같은 견인구동 시스템에 적합하다. 이 논문에서는 레졸버와 R/D 컨버터를 이용한 벡터 제어 시스템을 제안하고, 실험을 통해 성능을 확인한다.

The position of stator is essential when a trapezoidal BLDC motor is drived. In this paper we proposed a novel sensorless drive system for the trapezoidal BLDC motor without hall sensors or encoders. The resistor Y-connecting method is used to obtain Back-emf of a trapezoidal BLDC motor. Especially, by using the new Back-emf filter circuit proposed in this paper the sensorless characteristic in low speed is improved. The prototype proposed system applied for a 100[W] rating BLDC motor is made and the propriety of the Back-EMF filter circuit is also verified.

A sensorless control of a PM synchronous motor with the compensation of the motor parameter variation is presented. The rotor position is estimated by using the d-axis and q-axis current errors between the real system and motor model of the position estimator. The stator resistance is measured at low speeds when the motor changes its rotating direction and the variation of the stator resistance and back emf constant caused by the temperature variation is compensated. The gains in the position estimator are also adapted according to the motor speeds.

The PM synchronous motor drives with vector control have been applied to wide fields of industry applications due to its high efficiency. The rotor position information for vector control of a PM synchronous motor is detected from the rotor position sensors or rotor position estimators. The sensorless control based on the mathematical model of PM synchronous motor is generally used and it can be classified into back EMF -based sensorless control and magnet flux-based sensorless control. The rotor position estimating performance of the back EMF-based sensorless control is deteriorated at low speeds since the magnitude of back EMF is proportional to the motor speed. The magnitude of the magnet flux for estimating rotor position in the flux-based sensorless control is independent on the motor speed so that the estimating performance is excellent for wide speed ranges. However, the estimation performance of the model-based sensorless control may be influenced by the motor parameter variation since the rotor position estimator uses the mathematical model of the PM synchronous motor. In this paper, the rotor position estimation performance for the back EMF based- and flux-based sensorless controls is analyzed theoretically and is compared through the simulation and experiment when the motor parameters including stator resistance and inductance are varied.

This study is implemented as a sensor-less position controller capable of multi-turn detection to replace the expensive absolute encoder used in the turret servo system. For sensor-less control, the position information of the rotor is essential. For this, a magnetic flux estimator was implemented from the mathematical model of IPMSM used in the turret servo system. The position of the rotor and the angular velocity of the rotor were obtained using the rotor magnetic flux calculated from the magnetic flux estimator. Using the zero-crossing technique, one pulse was generated for each rotation of the estimated rotor magnetic flux to measure the number of multi-turns. Simulation and experiment results confirmed the usefulness of the proposed method.

A Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) has double salient poles structure and the phase windings are wound in stator. SRM hase more simple structure that of other motor, thus manufacture cost is low, mechanically strong, reliable to a poor environment such as high temperature, and maintenance cost is low because of brushless. SRM needs position detector to get rotator position information for phase excitation and tachometer or encoder for constant speed operation. But, this paper doesn\`s use an encoder of high cost for velocity measurement of rotator. Instead of it, the algorithm for position detection and velocity estimation from simple slotted disk has been proposed and developed. To implement variable speed digital control system with velocity estimation algorithm, the TMS320F240-20MIPS fixed point arithmetic processor of TI corporation is used. The experimental results of the developing system are enable to control speed with wide range, not only single pulse, hard chopping mode and soft chopping, ut also variable speed control, and advance angle control.
