A new sensorless detection scheme is proposed in this each of these techniques have their merit and limitation. Of paper. This detection scheme is based on a new concept of high -'ur particular interest, a rotor position sensorless detection frequency small-signal phase inductance (L.) of Permanent scheme is required to allow ultra low speed operation and Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), as detailed in this paper. startup with full torque. The most appropriate technique so far The L. of a Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) motor was mapped is the use of high frequency or pulse injection to detect the in the experiment and the results were used to build a high frequency SIMULINK model for the simulation of a new saliency of the PMSM [4, 5]. Saliency of the PMSM is sensorless rotor detection scheme. mainly caused by two domnant effects: Structural saliency such as the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor Keywords: -Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, (IPMSM), and magnetic saturation of the stator which appears Sensorless Rotor detection, Soft Magnetic Composite motor, High in all type of PMSMs. In this paper, a new small signal frequency injection inductance L,, is defined and a novel high frequency injection technique is presented using the LS, principle.

Fig.1 shows the B-H curve of controller in order to generate the correct phasing of the three-the Somaloy 500 material. Due to its relatively 'soft' B-H, phase stator drive current. Traditionally, rotor position characteristic, the assumption of a linear X over the operating detection is usually by means of resolver or encoder attached range becomes inaccurate. The flux linkage k(i,er) is a to the motor shaft. These position sensors are either very function of the instantaneous drive current is, and the position expensive and/or highly sensitive to environment factors such of the permanent magnet of the rotor Or; both quantities as temperature, noise and vibrations etc. The elimination of determ...

A new concept of high frequency small-signal phase inductance (L ss ) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is defi ned in this paper. The L ss of a Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) motor was mapped in the experiment and the results were used to build a high frequency SIMULINK model for the simulation of a new sensorless rotor detection scheme. A new sensorless detection scheme is also proposed in this paper. "A high frequency SIMULINK model for PMSM for a new sensorless rotor…" -Chandru and Zhu
