An Overview of Position Sensorless Techniques for Switched Reluctance Machine Systems

Accurate real-time rotor position is indispensable for switched reluctance motors (SRM) speed and torque control. Traditional position sensors add complexity and potential failure risk to the system. Owing to the added advantages of high stability and low cost, the position sensorless method of SRMs...

description Accurate real-time rotor position is indispensable for switched reluctance motors (SRM) speed and torque control. Traditional position sensors add complexity and potential failure risk to the system. Owing to the added advantages of high stability and low cost, the position sensorless method of SRMs has been extensively studied to advance its use in vehicles and construction machinery. This paper presents an overview of position sensorless control techniques from the perspective of whether the method requires the establishment of complex mathematical models. Various types of methods are compared for performance, such as speed regulation range, algorithm complexity, and requirement of the pre-stored parameter. A discussion is presented concerning current trends in technological development, which will facilitate the research addressing potentially effective methods for position estimation in SRM drive systems.
