In this paper, a sensorless rotor position estimation method based on the field current harmonic for a load-commutated inverter (LCI)-fed electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM) operating at zero or low speed is proposed. A detailed theoretical analysis and mathematical deduction are presented. The field current harmonic is used instead of the extra high-frequency signal injection. A reasonable harmonic frequency is selected, and a realizable field current control method is given. To simplify the complex signal processing and improve the measurement accuracy, a specific bandpass filter and a normalized quadrature phase-locked loop are designed. The phase change caused by the filters is compensated properly. The proposed approach is demonstrated through the simulation and experiment with a 15-kW LCI-fed EESM drive platform, confirming its feasibility and accuracy.
