Abstract

At least one example embodiment discloses a drive system including a motor including a rotor, the motor configured to receive a measured current, a controller configured to generate a voltage for the motor at a stationary reference frame, the voltage having a frequency and the measured current being based on the voltage, a filter configured to obtain position information of the rotor based on the measured current and a nonlinear observer configured to estimate a rotor position of the motor during the stationary reference frame based on the position information. The controller is configured to control the motor based at least in part on the estimated rotor position.
