Abstract: In this study, a novel indirect sensorless sliding mode observer based displacement and position sensing techniques are proposed for Bearing less Switched Reluctance Motor (BSRM) to avoid the limitations of the mechanical sensors and to get the fast dynamic response for high-speed operations. To get fast convergence and more robustness against parameter variations in view of both mechanical and electrical disturbances, the sliding mode observer design is very appropriate for the BSRM. The conventional on-off hysteresis current controller and asymmetric converters are used for the estimation of position and displacements. Under different initial states, variations of drive parameters and suspension load disturbance conditions the performance of proposed SMO for BSRM was simulated to verify the robustness. At the instant of change of load there is a temporary increment of errors of position and rotor displacements of proposed SMO for BSRM. The whole system reached its expected precision tracking. The fast convergence rate and more robustness and disturbance rejection capability properties are carefully studied. The observer can provide stable and accurate position estimation and displacement estimation and speed estimation even there is an unexpected variations in reference and suspension loading conditions.
