Position Sensorless Driving of BLDCM Using Neural Networks

Abstract

A sensorless driving method of brushless DC Motors (BLDCM) using neural network has been studied in this paper. Considering the nonlinear characteristics and the parameter error of the modeling, neural networks are introduced to estimate the electromotive force (EMF). The results of simulation and experiment using offline trained neural networks show the proposed method is useful. In addition, the robustness about the parameters is discussed.
