Saliency based encoderless Predictive Torque Control without signal injection for a reluctance synchronous machine

If a Predictive Torque Controller neglects the saliency of a machine the resulting prediction error contains the rotor angle information. A scheme to extract this information is derived in linear theory and extended for the nonlinear effects of a real reluctance synchronous machine. Measurement results confirm that this saliency based approach without signal injection is able to operate in the entire speed range of the drive.
