An on-line synchronous motor parameter estimation technique is introduced. The motor is driven sensor-lessly with a Kalman filter. A second Kalman filter, that works in parallel with the main one, estimates the motor model parameters. Thanks to the parameter estimation, the accuracy of the Kalman filter estimations of position and speed increase and thus the global performance of the drive. Theoretical...
This paper introduces a promising technique for detecting the rotor position of a PM motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor position, a very particular phenomenon related to B-H hysteresis appears. This phenomenon permits to detect the electrical position of a non-salient rotor.
In order to control the speed and/or position of permanent magnet (PM) motors, they require position sensors. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase motor. In micro-motors, as there is no space for the sensors, self-sensing must be used. In any case, suppression of the sensors enhances the overall reliability. The motor becomes a sensor itself and electromagnetic phenomena are...
A sensorless position detection technique for a permanent magnet (PM) motor with non-salient rotor is presented. It is shown that the phase self inductances and resistances measured at higher frequencies vary slightly with the rotor position. The origin of the variations is found in the iron B-H hysteresis characteristics. In order to exploit these small variations for the rotor position detection,...
In this paper it is shown that the phase self inductance and resistance, both measured at a high frequency, of a permanent magnet (PM) motor with non-salient rotor vary slightly with the rotor position. The origin of these variations is deeply investigated, taking into account typical physical phenomena present in PM motor. Surprisingly, no classical approach can explain these variations. The physical...

Synchronous motors require sensors in order to control these devices in speed and/or position. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase type actuator. In micro-motors, as there is no more room to place the sensors, self-sensing approach must be used. The motor becomes a sensor it-self and electromagnetic phenomena are analyzed to detect the position of the rotor. These phenomena...
