Abstract

Sensorless field oriented control has always been an area of study with many insecurities, parameter sensitivities and instabilities. In this paper, after giving a short overview of standard sensorless field oriented control algorithms, a new technology by Texas Instruments called “InstaSPIN” will be evaluated. InstaSPIN promises to solve all of the well-known problems of sensorless control as, weak low speed performance, restricted dynamic response and high parameter sensitivity. The performance will be compared with a standard drive based on a 5 kW permanent magnet synchronous machine.
