Rotor position detection of a switched reluctance drive

A switched reluctance drive is controlled without using a physical rotor position detector. The control method estimates the standing flux-linkage associated with the phase and uses this estimate to improve its subsequent estimate of rotor position. The method works robustly regardless of whether th...

More Information
Summary:A switched reluctance drive is controlled without using a physical rotor position detector. The control method estimates the standing flux-linkage associated with the phase and uses this estimate to improve its subsequent estimate of rotor position. The method works robustly regardless of whether the current is continuous or discontinuous.
