title: Implementation of a MFAC based position sensorless drive for high speed BLDC motors with nonideal back EMF.
abstract: In order to improve the reliability and reduce power consumption of the high speed BLDC motor system, this paper presents a model free adaptive control (MFAC) based position sensorless drive with only a dc-link current sensor. The initial commutation points are obtained by detecting the phase of EMF zero-crossing point and then delaying 30 electrical degrees. According to the commutation error caused by the low pass filter (LPF) and other factors, the relationship between commutation error angle and dc-link current is analyzed, a corresponding MFAC based control method is proposed, and the commutation error can be corrected by the controller in real time. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed correction method can achieve ideal commutation effect within the entire operating speed range.
