In order to improve the stability of brushless DC (BLDC) motors at low speed, a high-stability position-sensorless controlmethod is proposed in this paper. Because the back electromotive force (EMF) is very small at low speed, a novel algorithm is proposed to detect the zero crossing point of back EMF accurately. First, the line-to-line back EMF is computed based on the mathematical model of BLDC motors. Then, a low-pass filter (LPF) with alterable cutoff frequency is used to reduce the disturbance of the line-to-line back EMF. Last, the commutation signal is obtained by detecting the zero crossing point (ZCP) of the line-to-line back EMF. However, the commutation signal is delayed by the LPF. For this reason, based on the three-phase backEMF, a novel compensation algorithm including an open loop and a close loop is proposed to compensate for commutation error. Moreover, the speed feedback has a big delay at low speed. According to this, a novel speed calculation algorithm is presented to decrease the delay. Both the simulation and experimental results validate the high stability and reliability of the proposed method.
