The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor position, a very particular phenomenon related to B-H hysteresis appears. This phenomenon permits to detect the electrical position of a non-salient rotor.Hysteresis motorsPermanent magnet motorsPower system parameter estimationRotorsStatorsExploitation of a new iron B-H phenomenon for the standstill position detection of PM motorstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
