Abstract: This paper presents the operating principle, results and conclusions for an FTC mechanical sensor that can guarantee continuity
of operation on the whole speed range. This active FTC is based on analytical redundancy using three different estimators (an
Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), a back electromotive force based observer (back-EMF observer) and a high frequency voltage
injection (HFI). Thanks to this structure, the mechanical measurement is continuously monitored and at sensor fault occurrence
the sensorless controller can be engaged using the best estimate. From numerical simulations and experimental results on a
1.1kW salient PMSM drive, the following conclusion has been drawn : at low and zero speed, the drive availability is obtained
with the combination of the EKF and the HFI while for higher speeds EKF and back-EMF observer have better performance.
