Position sensorless control of switched reluctance motor based on numerical method

In this paper, a new position sensorless control method for switched reluctance motor drives is proposed. Rotor position is initially calculated based on the flux linkage-position-phase current characteristics by numerical method. Then, a third-order phase locked loop considering the acceleration variation is designed to undermine the impact of current sampling noise and numerical residual error on the estimated rotor position. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed position sensorless control method has achieved sufficient accuracy in terms of position and speed estimation.
