A New Flux Linkage Estimation with Drift Cancellation Technique for Switched Reluctance Machines

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Well written paper and sound technical and scientific approaches. 

I only suggest to add a figure and more details/data about the analysed SRM. Some minor edits are required from a linguistic point of view.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,
there are some parts to correct or integrate in the paper. In particular:
1) Comment better on Figure 2: specify in the paper the Reference Signal and the value of Hysteresis band for the current.
2) Tustin method: insert a reference in the paper.
3) In the paragraph Experimental evaluation: insert the drawing of a block diagram with the connections.
4) Place the Figure 12, Figure 13, Figure 14 in the corresponding paragraph, commenting appropriately
Best Regards

Reviewer 3 Report

The contribution present a new technique for flux linkage estimation. Paper is well written with a logical structure.

The process of subject selection is clear and proper background study is presented. However, try to avoid combining number of references as presented in line 24 (… such as in [5-9]) and present state of the art as in lines 34-54.

References used in article are relevant, recent and referenced correctly.

The study methods looks valid and reliable. However, it's good to show the parameters of simulated motor in the text and not in the appendix, otherwise put figures 2-3 in p.u. and table 1 in %.

Most of the tables and figures are relevant and clearly presented, however, some of the diagrams may be updated. For example, scaled areas on figure 5 may be presented separately as a part of figure (5.b)

Conclusions supported by references or results and answer the aims of the study.

I suggest to accept contribution after minor revision.
