The need for reducing the cost of and space in Electrically Assisted Bicycles (EABs) has led the research to the development of solutions able to sense the applied pedalling torque and to provide a suitable electrical assistance avoiding the installation of torque sensors. Among these approaches, this paper proposes a novel method for the estimation of the pedalling torque starting from an estimation of the motor load torque given by a Load Torque Observer (LTO) and evaluating the environmental disturbances that act on the vehicle longitudinal dynamics. Moreover, this work shows the robustness of this approach to rotor position estimation errors introduced when sensorless techniques are used to control the motor. Therefore, this method allows removing also position sensors leading to an additional cost and space reduction. After a mathematical description of the vehicle longitudinal dynamics, this work proposes a state observer capable of estimating the applied pedalling torque. The theory is validated by means of experimental results performed on a bicycle under different conditions and exploiting the Direct Flux Control (DFC) sensorless technique to obtain the rotor position information. Afterwards, the identification of the system parameters together with the tuning of the control system and of the LTO required for the validation of the proposed theory are thoroughly described. Finally, the capabilities of the state observer of estimating an applied pedalling torque and of recognizing the application of external disturbance torques to the motor is verified.

This paper focuses on the performance analysis of a sensorless control for a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in grid-connected operation for turbine-based wind generation systems. With reference to a conventional stator flux based Field Oriented Control (FOC), a full-order adaptive observer is implemented and a criterion to calculate the observer gain matrix is provided. The observer provides the estimated stator flux and an estimation of the rotor position is also obtained through the measurements of stator and rotor phase currents. Due to parameter inaccuracy, the rotor position estimation is affected by an error. As a novelty of the discussed approach, the rotor position estimation error is considered as an additional machine parameter, and an error tracking procedure is envisioned in order to track the DFIG rotor position with better accuracy. In particular, an adaptive law based on the Lyapunov theory is implemented for the tracking of the rotor position estimation error, and a current injection strategy is developed in order to ensure the necessary tracking sensitivity around zero rotor voltages. The roughly evaluated rotor position can be corrected by means of the tracked rotor position estimation error, so that the corrected rotor position is sent to the FOC for the necessary rotating coordinate transformation. An extensive experimental analysis is carried out on an 11 kW, 4 poles, 400 V/50 Hz induction machine testifying the quality of the sensorless control.
