Reasons for Industrial Applications
                  of Drives with Encoderless Control:

                    • Cost

                    • Reliability

                    • Robustness

Industrial Drives with Sensorless Control
since several years / decades sensorless control is investigated
                                    and published on conferences and magazines
- acceptance in industry, however, is rather low
                                        Why ?
new ideas and concepts are interesting for industry,
                         only if they do not result in higher cost or higher effort!!!

                        What does that mean
            for industrial drives with sensorless control ?
 no additional or more powerful processors / controllers
 no additional hardware or additional sensors (e. g. voltage sensors)
 no increased installation effort with respect to parameter adjustments

• no additional hardware          • standard microcontroller sufficient

when knowing voltage uS                                          mechanics

   as well as current iS
it should be possible
      calculate speed ω

Calculation of Speed by Fundamental Model
      is not Practicable for Very Low Speeds
... because
• the voltage signal becomes very small
• errors between real voltage and values used for calculation
               cannot be avoided and become more significant
• DC components of these errors
                 let the integrators for flux calculation drift away
          the calculated speed gets more and more incorrect
   is an encoder/resolver the only feasable solution ??

Signal Injection Method
           according to J. Holtz, H.Pan, etc.
• this is basically a current injection method
                           voltage sensors are necessary !!!
• it is possible to use current derivatives
                   instead of motor voltages
   measuring current derivatives, however,
        by standard current transducers is not really possible
• but, industrial current transducers
                  have a current derivative available internally
       can this be made available for customers ???

INFORM method
                 according to M. Schroedl
                (Technical University of Vienna, Austria)

• this is basically a transient voltage injection method
            currents have to be sensed at specific times !!!
• when using standard current transducers
                  these cannot be synchronized with PWM

   the hardware of a standard industrial drive
                                        has to be changed

nevertheless this method comes close to industrial needs !

Stationary Signal Injection Methods
     according to R. Lorenz, S.-K. Sul, R. Kennel, etc.
• the basic idea is
          to use the electrical machine itself as a resolver !!!
• a resolver is nothing else but an electrical machine
           can we operate the motor itself like a resolver ?

• if the machine itself is a resolver (encoder)
                 is that really an „encoderless“ control ???

              good idea – but does it work ???

the concept of encoderless control as presented here
                  works similar to radio broadcasting :

the information of rotor position
              is modulated by a high frequency signal

the information is demodulated / extracted
                                  from motor currents

• the tracking control scheme presented here
  synchronizes on the saturation anisotropy
  of a synchronous machine.

• the tracking control scheme
  is not depending on any machine parameter.

• the size of additional software for the tracking control
  is comparable to the software of a rotor model
  for the field oriented control of an induction machine.

• the high frequency current signal can be measured
  together with the fundamental current
  by the standard current transducers
  of a standard drive inverter.

Conclusion
•   The proposed estimation method is simple
                       and therefore suitable for usual microcontrollers
     no additional or more powerful processors / controllers

•   The sensorless control scheme presented here
           does not need additional voltage measurement devices
                       - neither on the machine/motor side nor on the line side

    Industrial Drives withSensorless Control since several years / decades sensorless control is investigated and published on conferences and magazines - acceptance in industry, however, is rather low Why ? new ideas and concepts are interesting for industry, only if they do not result in higher cost or higher effort!!! What does that mean for industrial drives with sensorless control ?  no additional or more powerful processors / controllers  no additional hardware or additional sensors (e. g. voltage sensors)  no increased installation effort with respect to parameter adjustments Prof. Dr. -Ing. Ralph M. Kennel Wuppertal University Page 4

  • 9.
    Calculation of Speedby Fundamental Model is not Practicable for Very Low Speeds ... because • the voltage signal becomes very small • errors between real voltage and values used for calculation cannot be avoided and become more significant • DC components of these errors let the integrators for flux calculation drift away  the calculated speed gets more and more incorrect is an encoder/resolver the only feasable solution ?? Prof. Dr. -Ing. Ralph M. Kennel Wuppertal University Page 9

    Signal Injection Method according to J. Holtz, H.Pan, etc. • this is basically a current injection method  voltage sensors are necessary !!! • it is possible to use current derivatives instead of motor voltages  measuring current derivatives, however, by standard current transducers is not really possible • but, industrial current transducers have a current derivative available internally can this be made available for customers ??? Prof. Dr. -Ing. Ralph M. Kennel Wuppertal University Page
  • 11.
    INFORM method according to M. Schroedl (Technical University of Vienna, Austria) • this is basically a transient voltage injection method  currents have to be sensed at specific times !!! • when using standard current transducers  these cannot be synchronized with PWM  the hardware of a standard industrial drive has to be changed nevertheless this method comes close to industrial needs ! Prof. Dr. -Ing. Ralph M. Kennel Wuppertal University Page
  • 12.
    Stationary Signal InjectionMethods according to R. Lorenz, S.-K. Sul, R. Kennel, etc. • the basic idea is to use the electrical machine itself as a resolver !!! • a resolver is nothing else but an electrical machine  can we operate the motor itself like a resolver ? • if the machine itself is a resolver (encoder)  is that really an „encoderless“ control ??? good idea – but does it work ???  Prof. Dr. -Ing.
