Abstract

A method of estimating inductance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) includes injecting a signal having a frequency differing from an operating frequency of the PMSM into the PMSM during sensorless operation, sensing magnitudes of current responses to the injected signal, and estimating an inductance value at which the magnitude of the sensed current response is minimal to be an actual inductance value of the PMSM, thereby estimating inductance used in the PMSM regardless of position estimation error of the PMSM and thus more accurately and reliably estimating inductance of the PMSM.
