This paper develops a sensorless BLDCM drive for frequently startup. The position information is based on detecting the zero-crossing point of the BEMF that can be directly obtained from the terminal voltage of the floating phase without voltage-dividing and filtering. As a result, this approach makes it possible to detect the rotor position over a wide speed range, especially at a lower speed. A fast startup procedure is also discussed because the induced BEMF signals are not present when motor is at rest. Experimental results shows that the schemes implemented are feasible and the performance achieved are satisfactory.

This paper proposes a simple initial rotor position estimation method to obtain a stable startup performance for back EMF-based sensorless control. The proposed estimation method is achieved at standstill by using the current response to difference between each of the stator winding inductance. This initial rotor position estimation method can be easily implemented to control algorithm without any other external devices. The proposed algorithm is also not affected by motor parameter. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by experimental result.

This paper presents a hybrid sensorless control for an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) for zero-, low-, and high-speed regions. Many sensorless control methods such as an observer-based estimator have been introduced. However, most of the observer-based estimators have a disadvantage at start-up and in the low-speed region. To solve this problem, a simple strategy of using a hybrid system is proposed by integrating a high-frequency (HF) signal injection method and a full-order flux observer. In addition, an HF signal injection method with only a low pass filter (LPF) is proposed to simplify the hybrid system. The hybrid system achieves high-performance drive throughout the entire speed range. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid technique is verified by experiments using an 11-kW IPMSM drive system.

A new sensorless control strategy for brushless DC (BLDC) motors is proposed in this paper. This technique builds a rotor position-related flux function, which is independent of the speed. By observing the flux function, the information of rotor position and commutation can be obtained. As the function is not speed-related, this control process can be used in a wider range of speed and improves the motor's performance during startup. An experimental test bad based on TMS320F2812 has been built, and the experimental result indicates that the motor achieves a smooth starting-up and stable phase commutation with the proposed control strategy.

This paper presents the improvement of start-up characteristic of sensorless controlled IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) with SMO(Sliding Mode Observer). It is difficult to utilize the rotor position information at starting point for the back EMF estimation based sensorless control. For this reason, open loop control is normally used during start-up period. However, changing from open loop to closed loop control might bring a problem on the transient characteristics for difference load conditions. To solve this problem, we add another rotor angle controller. Simulation results and experimental results are presented to verify proposed method.

In this paper, a rotor polarity detection algorithm is proposed to control the single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors(SP-PMSMs) for high speed sensorless operation. Generally, the sensorless control of a SP-PMSM is switched to the sensorless operation in a specific speed region after the open loop startup. As a result, it is necessary to detect the rotor polarity to maintain a constant rotational direction of the SP-PMSM at the starting process. There, this paper presents a novel rotor polarity detection method using a high frequency voltage signal and offset current which is generated by current regulator. The proposed algorithm verified the effectiveness and usefulness of the rotor polarity detection through several experiments.

이 논문은 역기전력을 기반으로 한 센서리스 제어 시에 향상 된 초기기동 성능을 위한 간단한 초기 회전자 위치추정 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 추정방법은 전동기가 정지상태에서 전류와 인덕턴스의 반비례관계를 이용하여 회전자의 돌극성에 의한 고정자 각 권선의 인덕턴스의 변화로 생기게 되는 전류의 대소관계를 비교하여 초기 회전자 위치를 추정한다. 이 초기 회전자 위치추정 방법은 역기전력을 기반으로 한 센서리스 제어와 함께 구현되기가 쉽고 성공적인 초기기동으로 역회전이나 기동에 실패하지 않게 하며, 기존의 다른 인덕턴스에 의한 전류포화를 이용한 방법에 비해 빠르고 쉽다는 것이 장점이다. 또 다른 장점으로 이 방법은 외부적인 장치가 필요가 없고 모터의 변수들에 영향을 받지 않는다. 실험으로서 제시한 초기 회전자 위치추정의 방법을 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 슬라이딩 모드 관측기를 이용하여 IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 센서리스 제어의 기동특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. IPMSM의 센서리스 제어는 초기 구동시 회전자의 위치를 알 수가 없으므로 Open-Loop알고리즘을 이용하여 강제로 모터를 구동시킨다. 그러므로 Open-Loop에서 Closed-Loop로 제어되는 시점에서 부하의 상태에 따라 기동 특성에 문제점을 야기 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 부하에 따라 기동 특성에서 야기되는 문제점과 해결책을 제시한다. 제시된 방법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper proposes a method of using a magnetic position sensor to detect accurately the rotor position required to perform vector control of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, particularly the initial rotor position at startup. In the existing vector control systems, the initial rotor position was determined using the output signals of the Hall sensors, or the control was performed in a sensorless method without using such a sensor. On the other hand, the accuracy is degraded due to the occurrence of a position detection error, and the practicality was not satisfactory. This paper attempts to detect the initial rotor position using a magnetic position sensor to solve this problem. This method is used to solve the deteriorating starting characteristics of the motor in the vector control system. In addition, to lower the price of a low-power vector control inverter, this paper proposes a method of integrating the existing sensors and reducing the price to less than half using a magnetic position sensor for speed and position detection.
