Abstract
A method and system for estimating an angular position and an angular velocity of a rotor in a dynamoelectric machine measures an AC current and a potential for each of a plurality of windings coupled to a stator of the dynamoelectric machine, transforms the measured currents and potentials to a stationary frame to produce transformed currents and transformed potentials, and processes the transformed currents and transformed potentials to produce a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal. The first intermediate signal and the second intermediate signal are cross-coupled by being processed to obtain a first extended rotor flux value and a second extended rotor flux value that are each functions of the first intermediate signal and the second intermediate signal. The first extended rotor flux value and the second extended rotor flux value are applied to a phase lock loop to derive an estimated rotor angular position and an estimated rotor angular velocity for the dynamoelectric machine.
