Abstract
A method is disclosed for controlling a synchronous motor by determining a rotor position of the synchronous motor based on estimating a flux linkage. The method includes applying a voltage of a stator winding of the motor to a transfer function. The transfer function includes an S-domain integration operation and an error correction variable. An output of the transfer function is processed to compensate for the error correction variable introduced in the transfer function. An estimated flux linkage is generated and an angle of the rotor position is computed based on the flux linkage. The computed rotor position is input to a controller for controlling a position or speed of the motor.
