The brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) has shown potential for adjustable speed drive applications. Although the BDFM is readily applicable for industrial drives requiring only slow speed response, control methods for higher performance operation need to be explored. With the help of a suitable synchronous reference frame dq model, this paper defines a BDFM synchronous angle and employs an electric torque estimator to establish a rotor flux oriented control algorithm. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
