A Rotor Flux and Speed Observer for Sensorless Single-Phase Induction Motor Applications

It is usual to find single-phase induction motor (SPIM) in several house, office, shopping, farm, and industry applications, which are become each time more sophisticated and requiring the development of efficient alternatives to improve the operational performance of this machine. Although the roto...
