abstract
A new sensorless control scheme for the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive at low speed is presented in this paper. The incremental inductance of each active phase is estimated using the terminal measurement of this phase. The estimated phase incremental inductance is compared to an analytical model, which represents the functional relationships between the phase incremental inductance, phase current, and rotor position, to estimate the rotor position. The presented sensoriess control scheme requires neither extra hardware nor huge memory space for implementation. It can provide accurate rotor position informarion even as the magnetic characteristics of the SRM change due to aging. Combined with other inductance model-based sensorless control techniques, the proposed method can be used to develop an inductance model-based sensorless control scheme to run the SRM from standstill to high-speed. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed scheme. 2004 IEEE.
