Sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor control is one of today's industry's requirements. The quality of this control is strongly dependent on the exact identification of the rotor angle for switching. In this study, a new sensorless BLDC motor control is introduced that could determine the exact time of the commutation. This method is based on the line-to-line flux linkage. The unscented Kalman filter method is used to identify the parameters in the proposed method. In comparison with back electromotive force based methods, this approach has advantages such as reduction of torque ripple due to commutation operations and resistance to motor parameters' changes. The correctness of the method and the performed comparison is proved by the computer simulation and practical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
