This paper presents a theoretical analysis of a maximum-torque-per-ampere control strategy based on the extremum seeking control working principle, which provides useful insights for the definition of a systematic and quantitative design procedure. Expand

In order to enhance the sensitivity and to reduce readout circuit complexity of any angular velocity microsensor (vibrating gyroscope), it is crucial to reduce the frequency mismatch of its resonant modes of vibration. Expand

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a finite-state direct predictive control (DPC) for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives. Expand

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

We present a 3-axis silicon MEMS vibratory gyroscope that fulfills the pressing market requirements for low power consumption, small size and low cost. Expand

This paper deals with the use of MEMS accelerometers to improve the performances of positioning control systems equipped with low-resolution positioning sensors. 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
