Abstract
A method of minimizing errors in a rotor angle estimate in a synchronous machine the method comprising the steps of determining the stator flux (&PSgr; ) of the synchronous machine on the basis of the current model of the synchronous machine, determining the stator flux (&PSgr; ′) on the basis of the voltage integral and initial value (&PSgr; (n-1)) of the stator flux, and determining the rotor angle (&thgr; (n)) of the synchronous machine. The method also comprises the steps of determining an angle correction term (&thgr; (n)) on the basis of the determined stator fluxes (&PSgr; , &PSgr; ′), and adding the angle correction term (&thgr; (n)) to the determined rotor angle (&thgr; (n)) of the synchronous machine to obtain a rotor angle estimate (&thgr;(n)).
