“…Therefore, one can recover the encoded position information that is stored in the form of electromagnetic characteristics such as flux linkage, inductance, back-emf, and so on by solving the voltage equation in an active or idle phase. From the aspects of rotor position decoding methods, the following methods such as look-up table [3], mathematical model [4], [5], observer [6], [7], and intelligent approximation algorithm [8]- [11] based methods and such are included. This implies that to implement these estimation methods, some prior knowledge of the SRM should be known.…”
