The combination of direct torque control and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) provides a highly dynamic drive. In this paper direct torque control method of PMSM is merged with a sensorless control algorithm and a robust flux observer is proposed which results in a high performance highly reliable drive. First a high frequency signal injection method within DTC algorithm is introduced to estimate the rotor position of PMSM. Then the method is modified in order to estimate stator dynamic inductances. The stator inductances are then used in a current model flux observer  

Sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motors allows reducing cost and complexity, and increasing mechanical robustness and noise immunity. Sensorless methods based on high frequency carrier injection have attracted considerable attention in recent years as they can estimate rotor position in a wide speed range. These methods employ anisotropic properties of rotor to estimate rotor position in ac machines. With internal permanent magnet motors, the high frequency signal injection method can deliver precise sensorless control, however in surface-mounted permanent magnet machines, where a small saliency arises from main flux saturation, the estimation of rotor magnet position is...
