p>This paper proposes a new scheme to use active flux on q-axis for sensorless control of synchronous reluctance machines (SynRM). Conventionally, “Active Flux” on d-axis is adopted to convert a salient pole machine into a fictitious non-salient pole machine. However, the injected d-axis flux can deteriorate high frequency injection (HFI) sensorles...
