Lecture Content Overview:

Field-oriented control of AC drives requires knowledge of the mechanical rotor position. Generally, this is detected by a position encoder, which has to be mounted on the shaft of the servo motor. In cost sensitive applications, however, when maximum performance is not required (for instance in traction drives), it is desirable to save this expensive sensor. Besides the cost advantage, encoderless control convinces with high mechanical robustness, as no sensitive electronic components are present in the machine. There are two main methods for encoderless position detection, the first is based on using the basic equations of the electrical machine (evaluating the back-EMF), whereas the second is based on additional signal injection. The back-EMF based methods typically detect the mechanical position by integration of the induced voltage, which is estimated with an asymptotic observer at nonzero speed. Around zero frequency, however, this method does not work in practice – here it is necessary to use a different method using high frequency signals to detect the rotor position. The resulting amplitude modulated information in the HF current is used to find what is called the anisotropy position, from which the rotor position may be estimated.
