In this thesis, new sensorless control methods are developed for AC motor drives equipped with an inverter output filter. A three-phase LC filter with a cut-off frequency well below the switching frequency of the inverter enables nearly sinusoidal supply voltage for the motor. Induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors are typically connected directly to the frequency converter. In some applications, however, it is necessary to add a filter between the inverter and the motor in order to mitigate the harmful effects of the pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage. The control methods proposed in this thesis take an LC filter into account. Besides the conventional stator current control, two nested control loops are added to control ...
