Rotor position information is essential in the operation of the switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive for generation the phase current switching signals. When an incremental encoder is used as a rotor position sensor, the initial rotor position can not be detected. Some sensorless rotor position estimation methods also have the same problem. In these systems, to initially align the rotor, the forced alignment method has a delay and reverse rotation before the motor can start. Therefore it can not be acceptable for unidirectional drive systems. So the forced alignment method is not desirable in all drive systems and the research on the SRM drives should be directed to a system without rotor alignment. In this paper, a new detection method of initial rotor position using the rate of change of current is suggested. Firstly, di/dt versus θ/sub R/ reference table, which is the relation between the rate of change of current and rotor position, is generated and then the squared Euclidean distance method is used to estimate the rotor position based on the table. The simulated and experimental results are presented demonstrating the feasibility and accuracy of this method.

In this paper, a detection technique of initial rotor position at a standstill in Toroidal Switched Reluctance Motor(TSRM) with built-in interior central pole search coil is proposed. In case search coils are used as a position sensor, it has many advantages like low cost, decrease in the volume, high robust characteristics and wide applications. However, the initial rotor position detection is very difficult because the search coil's EMF is not exist at a standstill. In this paper, a new detection method of initial rotor position is suggested using interior central pole search coil. The simulation and experiment for the proposed method and their results support the validity of the proposed scheme by verifying the operation of a 6/4 TSRM using search coils.

Recently, the study of sensorless drive of IPMSM is coming to be active. In sensorless drive, because the wrong estimation of the initial rotor position brings about the decrease of the starting torque, or a temporary reverse revolution, it is important to know the exact importation of the initial rotor position. In this paper, the initial rotor position estimation method is based on the current peak measured by applying the pulsewise voltage and the current peak is changed according to the rotor position owing to the saliency of the rotor. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by the experimental results.

Rotor initial position is an important factor affecting the control performance of electrically excited synchronous motors. This study presents a novel method for estimating rotor initial position based on sliding discrete Fourier transform (sDFT). By injecting an ac excitation into the rotor winding, an induced voltage is generated in stator windings. Through this voltage, the stator flux can be obtained using a pure integral voltage model. Considering the influence from a dc bias and an integral initial value, we adopt the sDFT to extract the fundamental flux component. A quadrant identification model is designed to realize the accurate estimation of the rotor initial position. The sDFT and high-pass filter, DFT, are compared in detail, and the contrast between dc excitation and ac injection is determined. Simulation and experimental results verify that this type of novel method can eliminate the influence of dc bias and other adverse factors, as well as provide a basis for the control of motor drives.

본 논문에서는 영구자석형 동기전동기의 벡터제어를 수행하는데 필요한 회전자의 위치, 특히 기동시의 초기 회전자 위치를 정확하게 검출하기 위하여 자기식 위치 센서를 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존에는 홀센서의 출력 신호를 사용하여 초기 회전자의 위치를 판단하거나 이러한 센서를 사용하지 않는 센서리스 방식으로 제어를 수행하였으나 이 방법들은 위치 오차가 발생하고 정확도가 떨어지기 때문에 실용성 측면에서 만족스럽지 못하였다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 자기식 위치 센서(magnetic position sensor)를 사용하여 초기 회전자의 위치를 검출하고자 한다. 이 방식을 사용하여 동기전동기의 초기 회전자 위치 검출이 부정확하여 벡터제어 시스템에서 전동기의 기동특성이 나빠지는 문제점을 해결하며, 소용량의 벡터제어 인버터를 저가격화하는 목적으로 자기식 위치 센서를 속도 및 위치 검출에 사용함으로써 자극 검출용의 홀센서와 회전속도 측정용의 로터리 엔코더를 하나로 통합하여 가격을 절반 이하로 낮추는 방안을 제안한다.

This paper presents simple schemes used to estimate the initial rotor position and the d- and q-axis inductances for effective Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) operation in a wind-power system using an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine). An IPMSM essentially requires an exact coordinate transformation and accurate inductance values to use a reluctance torque caused by the saliency characteristic. In the proposed high-frequency voltage testing method, there is no voltage drop caused by the resistance and the electromotive force. The initial rotor position and the inductance can be measured through an analysis of the stator current without turning the rotor. The experimental results are presented in order to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기의 정지 시 위치센서 없이 회전자의 초기 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 자기적 포화에 의한 인덕턴스 변화를 이용하여 비교적 간단히 회전자의 초기 위치를 추정한다. 최소의 전압 벡터들을 인가하여 인덕턴스의 차이에 대응한 전류를 측정하여 회전자의 위치와 극성을 정확하게 판별할 수 있다. 제한된 방법은 추가적인 하드웨어가 필요하지 않으며, 전동기 파라미터에 영향을 받지 않고 전압벡터를 최소로 인가하여 측정할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

An initial rotor position estimation method is proposed in this study for an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor without a resolver or an absolute encoder. This method uses least squares approximation to estimate the initial rotor position. The magnetic polarity is identified by injection of short pulses. The proposed estimation process is robust because it does not require complex signal processing that depends on the performance of a digital filter. In addition, it can be applied to various servo systems because it does not require additional hardware. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method using a standard industrial servomotor with interior-permanent magnets.

This paper describes the two control techniques to perform the sensorless vector control of a PMSM by injecting the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal. The first technique is the estimation algorithm of the initial rotor position. A PMSM possesses the saliency which produces the ellipse of the stator current when the high frequency voltage is injected into the motor terminal. The major axis angle of the current ellipse gives the rotor position information at a standstill. The second control technique is a sensorless control algorithm that injects the high frequency voltage to the stator terminal in order to estimate the rotor position and speed. The rotor position and speed for sensorless vector control is calculated by appropriate signal processing to extract the position information from the stator current at low speeds or standstill. The proposed sensorless algorithm using the double-band hysteresis controller exhibits excellent reference tracking and increased robustness. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed control schemes. Speed, position estimation and vector control were carried out on the floating point processor TMS320VC33.

This paper describes a new detecting method of initial rotor position for PMSM without a position sensors. The proposed method uses the fact that the back-EMF is differently generated according to tile initial rotor position of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The voltage with short duty is impressed to each phase at standstill. Then, we can detect the rotor position by comparing the amplitudes and signs of three phase current each other. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.
