Sensorless rotor position estimation by PWM-induced signal injection
arXiv:2009.04830
Abstract
We demonstrate how the rotor position of a PWM-controlled PMSM can be recovered from the measured currents, by suitably using the excitation provided by the PWM itself. This provides the benefits of signal injection, in particular the ability to operate even at low velocity, without the drawbacks of an external probing signal. We illustrate the relevance of the approach by simulations and experimental results.
