An adaptive online flux-linkage estimation method for the sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented in this paper. Sensorless operation is achieved through a binary observer based algorithm. In order to avoid using the look up tables of motor characteristics, which makes the system, depends on motor parameters, an adaptive identification algorithm is used to estimate of the nonlinear flux-linkage parameters. This method makes position and speed estimation more accurate and robust towards any model uncertainty, also it is suitable replacement for a priori knowledge of motor characteristics.
