Simulation and Implementation of Predictive Speed Controller and Position Observer for Sensorless Synchronous Reluctance Motors

A position observer and a predictive controller for sensorless synchronous-reluctance-motor (SynRM) drive systems are investigated in this paper. The rotor position observer, based on motor parameters, and stator currents and voltages, was designed and implemented to compute the rotor position. A po...
