Sensorless Control of Electric Motors with Kalman Filters: Applications to Robotic and Industrial Systems

Abstract

The paper studies sensorless control for DC and induction motors, using Kalman Filtering techniques. First the case of a DC motor is considered and Kalman Filter-based control is implemented. Next the nonlinear model of a field-oriented induction motor is examined and the motor
