This paper presents a new sensorless control method for single-phase switched reluctance motors using induced electromotive force (EMF) due to the residual flux both on the stator and the rotor during phase commutation. The induced EMF falls to zero when the rotor pole moves away from the overlap with the stator pole. By detecting this instant, the speed and position of the rotor can be simply estimated. This method is very simple to implement and it is insensitive to variations in the system parameters as it does not require any stored magnetic data or offline inductance measurements but requires only measurements of the terminal voltage and a simple analog circuit. The proposed method is implemented on a 6/6 single-phase switched reluctance motor. However, it can also be implemented on a multiphase SRM regardless of the size, operation speed and switching mode of the motor hence making the proposed method viable to many applications. Simulation and experimental verification is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a fully sensorless driver for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) integrated with a digital motor controller and an analog pre-driver, including sensing circuits and estimators. In the motor controller, a position estimator estimates the back electromotive force and rotor position using a sliding-mode observer. In the pre-driver, drivers for the power devices are designed with a level shifter and isolation technique. In addition, a current sensing circuit measures a three-phase current. All of these circuits are integrated in a single chip such that the driver achieves control of the speed with high accuracy. Using an IC fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process, the performance was verified experimentally. The driver showed stable operation in spite of the variation in speed and load, a similar efficiency near 1% compared to a commercial driver, a low speed error of about 0.1%, and therefore good performance for the PMSM drive.

본 논문은 SRG(Switched Reluctance Generator)의 제어를 위하여 순시자속을 이용하여 위치를 추정하고, 추정한 위치에 근거하여 출력전압을 제어하는 방법이 제안되었다. SRG를 제어하기 위해서는 정확한 회전자의 위치정보가 필수적이다. 이러한 위치정보는 일반적으로 엔코더나 레졸버와 같은 정밀한 위치센서로부터 얻어진다. 그러나, 전자기적 간섭(Electromagnetic Interference), 진동, 열, 습도 등의 열악한 환경으로 인하여 정확한 위치를 검출하는데 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 위치·속도센서 없는 SRG의 제어기가 요구되어 진다. 본 논문에서는 SRG를 위한 새로운 위치·속도의 실시간 추정방법이 제안되었다. 순시자속은 측정한 전압과 전류에 의해 계산한 것과 위치와 자속 프로파일로부터 회전자의 위치를 추정하였다. 출력전압은 PID 제어 알고리즘에 의해 일정 제어되었다. 제안된 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였고, DSP를 적용하여 구현하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법은 부하가 변동하더라도 일정하게 출력전압을 유지하고, SRG 제어가 안정됨을 확인하였다.

Brushless DC Motors are widely used because of their high power ratio and easy control. But the brushless DC Motors need rotor Position- and speed- sensor such as encoder, resolver and hall sensor. The position sensor has present several disadvantages from the standpoint of drive cost, machine size and reliability. Hall sensors are used generally because of low cost but their operating temperature is limited up to $75^{\circ}C$ because of sensitivity of temperature. Now a day many research projects are on the development of sensorless brushless DC motors to correct these disadvantages. In this paper, characteristics such as starting, change of speed and load of a sensorless brushless DC motor are investigated.

It is an important thing to detect the Pole position for vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motor. In this paper, traditional position sensor is removed with the estimation of the pole position by using adaptive identification. Also, the proposed algorithm is simulated and the results are very good performance.

This paper describes advanced brushless DC motor drive without position sensor for home appliances with compressor to reduce the pulsating currents and vibration. The proposed method limits the motor currents during starting period and reduces commutation torque ripple during sensorless operating period. Experimental results show that the proposed method implemented in an inverter for a BLDC motor driven compressor considerably reduces not only the pulsating currents but also vibration of the home appliances.

This paper is proposed to position and speed control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(SPMSM) drive without mechanical sensor. A adaptive fuzzy controller is applied for speed control of SPMSM drive A adaptive state observer is used for the mechanical state estimation of the motor. The observer was developed based on nonlinear model of SPMSM, that employs a d-q rotating reference frame attached to the rotor. A adaptive observer is implemented to compute the speed and position feedback signal. The validity of the proposed sensorless scheme is confirmed by various response characteristics.

This paper presents a sensorless speed control of Brushless DC motor using terminal voltage of one phase. Rotor position information is extracted by indirectly sensing the Back-EMF from only one of the three terminal voltages for a three phase BLDC motor. This is a advantage for the cost saving and size reduction. Also, it can be substituted for conventional Hall-IC or encoder applied to position control.

This paper results from the application of IPM for hybrid vehicles using Matsui method and Extended EMF mothed. These 2 methods are typical methods based on EMF, which is usually used in position sensorless control. When d-axle current was 0, both Matsui method and Extended EMF method showed desirable results. On the other hand, when d-axle current was not 0, only Extended EMF appeared satisfactory. This means that Matsui method is more vulnerable to parameter variation. Thus, Extended EMF method would be better than Matsui method to be used in field weaking or MTPA control.

This paper presents the sensorless drive method for mono inverter dual parallel (MIDP) surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) drive system. MIDP motor drive system is a technique that can reduce the cost of the multi motor driving system. To maximize this merit of the MIDP motor drive system, the sensorless technique is essential to eliminate the position sensors. This paper adopts an appropriate sensorless method for MIDP SPMSM drive system, which uses the reduced order observer and phase locked loop (PLL) to reduce the calculation burden. The I-F control method is implemented for start-up and low speed operation. The validity and performance of the proposed algorithm are shown via experiments with 600-W SPMSMs.
