The estimation accuracy of the initial rotor position for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) directly determines whether the motor could be started-up successfully or not, the operation behavior would be better or worse and the high performance control strategy could be realized or not.

A novel initial rotor position estimate method is proposed on the surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM), which is based on the PMSM de-coupled model analysis.

In this paper,a novel method of detecting rotor initial position of the PM BLDC motor based on inductance method is studied.

This paper analyzes the method used by Guangzhou Pumped Storage Power Station to detect the rotor initial position through the control logic of the static frequency convertor(SCF), pointing out that the bug in the method is to depend on the exterior circuit.

In this paper,a novel method of detecting rotor initial position of the PM brushless DC motor based on inductance method was studied.

This paper presents an approach of rotor position estimation for switched reluctance motor based on support vector machine (SVM).

Due to damper windings mounted in the rotor of the salient-pole permanent synchronous machine(PMSM) with damper windings,adopting the rotor position estimation of a PMSM based on high-frequency signal injection estimates the rotor position,the damper windings current in the high frequency current response affects the accuracy of the rotor position estimation.
