Summary on Grant Application Form
The project concerns the development of sensorless position cage drives through designed asymmetry in the cage rotor.Three solutions for designed asymetry have been identified, two conceived at Nottingham. The first project strand is to embed these solutions in an experimental sensorless vector drive and to compare their performance in repsect of position detection accuracy and robustness, toque pulsations and motor noise and efficiency. The second strand is to develop a true sensorless positon servo drive to a level at which the technology may be transferred into industry.This drive will be based on the perceived best solution and will develop the control and detection algorithms for attainging a sesnorless absolute position, high performance servo drive.
