Nature of Sensorless FOC<br />

Chapter 3 gave the state-variable formulation of the motor model for both the stationary and<br />

synchronous frames and this was discussed in conjunction with the field oriented control in<br />

Chapter 5. In FOC, control is executed in the rotor frame; to transform into and out of this frame<br />

requires the rotor angle r . This is true for a sensorless FOC scheme as well; the only difference<br />

is that the rotor angle is obtained without a physical sensor, as shown in Figure 6.1. As<br />

mentioned, the only sensorless schemes that estimate principle quantities will be discussed; these<br />

require knowledge of the motor voltage and/or current as shown.<br />

Figure 6.1 – General sensorless FOC structure.<br />

Notice that the estimator requires values from the stationary frame (this can be either the twophase<br />

variables shown or three-phase measurements could be used). This is because only the<br />

stationary variables contain information about the rotor position.<br />

An example sensorless scheme is now presented (similar to the one in [173]). From Chapter 3 the<br />

voltage equation in the stationary frame is given by Equation (6.1).<br />
