Review of sensorless methods for brushless DC Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper provides a review of the literature addressing sensorless operation of brushless DC machines. Methods explained are state-of-the-art, including those 1. using measured currents, voltages, fundamental machine equations, and algebraic manipulations, 2. using observers, 3. using back-emf methods, 4. sensorless starting techniques, and 5. with novel techniques not in the previous categories.
