Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of a sensorless control method for permanent magnet synchronous machines named Direct Flux Control (DFC). Direct Flux Control provides its users with the angle of the total flux in the machine at all working points, including standstill. The Direct Flux Control signals are a mirror for the current inductivity and flux distribution in a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). Due to this reason, the focus of this research is to find the best possible permanent magnet synchronous machine for Direct Flux Control. This paper presents a design criterion for the permanent magnet synchronous machines so that it delivers a highly precise DFC signal to obtain the rotor position signal for a sensorless control approach.
