In the load commutated inverter fed (LCI-fed) electrically excited synchronous motor control system, since the LCI fails to generate suitable high-frequency signals, the conventional rotor position detection method by high frequency signal injection cannot be realized. A rotor position detection method at standstill or low speed based on the field current harmonic is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the detailed formula derivation and theoretical analysis are given, and the signal processing algorithm is simplified. Then, a harmonic component with appropriate frequency is selected from the field current to replace the injected high frequency signal, and the corresponding field current harmonic control strategy is given. In order to reduce the detection error caused by the simplified algorithm in signal processing, the adequate bandpass filter is designed and the detection error caused by the filter is compensated. Finally, the proposed rotor position detection method at standstill or low speed based on the field current harmonic is verified at a 15kW LCI-fed electrically excited synchronous motor experimental platform. The results show that the proposed rotor position detection method can effectively detect the rotor position from standstill to 20% synchronous speed, and has better detection accuracy below 10% synchronous speed.
