Abstract
M.Ing. (Electrical & Electronic Engineering)
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the
synchronous reluctance machine, because it holds so many promises
according to the mathematics. In the past very little research
has been done in this field, due to the problems of controlling
the machine and the necessary technology had not yet- been
developed. When the machine is running synchronously, it can be
very accurately controlled and is therefore suited for
applications in the paper or textile industry.
In this dissertation the possibility of accurately
controlling the machine without the use of a position/speed
sensor on the rotor will be investigated.
