    Extended Electro Motive Force observers exhibit good performances at medium and high speeds. However, voltage and current errors, together with parameter uncertainties, lead to inaccurate rotor position estimation. Thus, this paper proposes a novel analytical approach to identify estimated position errors of Extended Electro Motive Force Observers in both the stationary and the estimated synchronous reference frames. A unified analytical framework is presented, that allows to derive a closed-form expression for these errors in both frames. Steady state errors are extensively investigated with respect to stator resistance mismatch, inductances mismatch, voltage distortion, and current measurement errors. Results are validated through simulations

    The use of printed circuit board stators in coreless axial flux permanent magnet machines allows to reduce manufacturing costs and to eliminate the main drawbacks of traditional implementations using Litz wire. This work investigates the design of a coreless axial flux permanent magnet machine having printed circuit board concentrated windings. The field model of the coreless machine is reviewed to obtain closed-form equations for torque, eddy current loss and circulating currents loss are presented. Furthermore, cardinal geometrical parameters of the printed circuit board stator and the latest manufacturing possibilities are investigated, followed by the presentation of important machine design details
