“…• Transient signal injection based schemes which exploit the PWM signal in order to extract the rotor position or to inject discrete test voltage pulses in a defined direction (Raute et al, 2007;Belie et al, 2010;Vogelsberger et al, 2010) • Continuous high frequency signal injection based schemes which consist on injection of signal reported to a rotating high frequency voltage vector in the stator reference frame (α,β), (Perassi et al, 2005;Hu et al, 2008) or injection of signal reported to a pulsating high frequency voltage vector in a reference frame (d,q) synchronous with the motor saliency (Aihara et al, 1999;Sakamoto et al, 2001;Holtz, 2008;Wiedmann et al, 2009;Kock et al, 2009) Transient signal injection schemes are very complex to be implemented for practical real time systems whereas continuous high frequency signal injection schemes are based on a simple excitation and are easier to be experimentally implemented. However, continuous HFSI technique performance and robustness depend on the parameters choice of the high frequency signal injected in order to extract the rotor position or the rotor position error (Taniguchi et al, 2007).…”
