Summary: This paper addresses the use of a matrix converter (MC) with high-frequency voltage injection for zero- and low-speed sensorless control of surface mount permanent magnet alternating current motors. This paper also proposes a dual compensation technique that can practically eliminate zero-current-crossing distortions in MCs, discusses the effect of such distortions on sensorless control using injection techniques, and presents experimental results that illustrate the enhanced low-speed sensorless performance that can be obtained from exploiting the effective linearity of the MC operation.
