High performance sensorless control of small and micro brushless DC motors

Abstract (German)

The project deals with high performance sensorless control of small and micro motor drive systems based on permanent magnet motors. Its aims at replacing position sensors by software sensors in order to obtain more robust, cost effective, accurate and energy efficient drive systems as sensors cause additional costs and failures and are inaccurate when cheap. The project will focus on optimal model based control and estimation techniques and algorithms and will deliver a hardware and software engineering prototype.
