In home appliance applications, using a mechanical sensor increases cost, size, and reliability problems. To overcome these problems, sensorless control methods are implemented. Several estimation methods are used to get the rotor speed and position information without mechanical position sensor. The sliding mode observer (SMO) is commonly utilized due to the various attractive features including reliability, desired performance, and robustness against system parameter variations.
