This paper presents a novel stand-alone solar-powered water-pumping system based on a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, especially suited for usage in rural or remote areas. Expand

The high-frequency signals normally used for sensorless operations in anisotropic permanent-magnet synchronous motors cause unwanted torque ripple, noise, and vibrations. Expand

The presence of rare-earth materials in permanent magnet synchronous motors has shifted the attention of the research towards the rediscovery of the synchronous reluctance motors. Expand

Sensorless drives for permanent magnet (PM) and reluctance synchronous motors are quite interesting options in modern ac drives. Expand

This paper shows how the problem of estimating the initial rotor position in permanent-magnet sensorless drives can benefit from the availability of a direct measurement of motor phase voltages. Expand

The general trend toward more intelligent energy-aware ac drives is driving the development of new motor topologies and advanced model-based control techniques. Expand

A finite-set model-free current predictive control is proposed in this paper. Expand
