   Tutor: Bradáč Zdeněk, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

3. Novel Methods of Sensorless Control of AC Electric Drives

   This theme will deal with a design of control methods for sensorless speed control of AC electric drives focusing on ACI motors. Theoretical part will provide an analysis of sensorless control methods. The analysis will focus on new algorithms and their physical limits. An essential part of the thesis will be application focused. The new designed algorithms will be optimized in terms of implementation on microcontrollers and incorporation into the vector control structure. The thesis will be solved in cooperation with an industrial partner. It is expected to bring out a functional sample.
