“…Whatever the kind of signal injection used, magnetic (cross)-saturation must moreover be taken into account to get a good position estimation under high-load condition, see Scapino (2000), De Belie et al (2005);Holtz (2008), Reigosa, García, Raca, Briz, and Lorenz (2008), Bianchi, Bolognani, and Faggion (2009), De Kock, Kamper, and Kennel (2009), Li, Zhu, Howe, Bingham, and Stone (2009), Sergeant, De Belie, and Melkebeek (2009), Raca, García, Reigosa, Briz, and Lorenz (2010, Bianchi et al (2011), Gong (2011), Sergeant, De Belie, andMelkebeek (2012), Szalai et al (2014), Wang et al (2014), Bolognani et al (2011) and Zhu (2014a, 2014b). Some model of the saturated PMSM is thus required for a good functioning of a sensorless control law; to be useful it must be rich enough to capture in particular cross-saturation but also simple enough to be used in real-time and to be easily tuned in the field.…”
