Abstract
A method of estimating the initial rotor position of a three-stage brushless synchronous motor at standstill without any position sensors was presented. Based on the magnetic saturation characteristics of the stator core, the preliminary initial rotor position of the machine was estimated by applying specified voltage vectors to the main generator and comparing the stator current values. Then, the stator current values were modeled using the preliminary initial rotor position information and Gaussian curve fitting was performed. The results show that the standstill rotor position is within 0.5° in electrical angle.
