In the present work, permanent magnet synchronous motors for underwater propulsion are proposed. In particular, advanced sensorless control techniques of permanent magnet synchronous motors permit reduced costs, high reliability, and performances. When dealing with small autonomous underwater vehicle propulsion, such devices are hard to find in the market. Hence, the authors focused the research in the development of a system able to perform a reliable rotational speed and torque sensorless estimation. The design and implementation of a complete solution for underwater propulsion are presented as well as a novel rotor polarity identification technique exploiting a high-frequency injection control. Pool tests for the identification of the performances and of the dynamic parameters of the propulsion system are presented. Finally, the possibility of operating a sensorless estimation of the thrust and torque exerted by the propeller and pool test measurements are presented. These features could be exploited to improve navigation accuracy and involves obvious benefits in terms of cost reduction and reliability of the system. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0959651819829627","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,26]],"date-time":"2019-02-26T07:04:13Z","timestamp":1551164653000},"page":"1309-1328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development and testing of an efficient and cost-effective underwater propulsion system"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5285-1251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Libero","family":"Paolucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering (DINFO), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]},{"given":"Emanuele","family":"Grasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Actuation Technology, Saarland University, Saarbruecken, Germany"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Grasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering (DINFO), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]},{"given":"Niklas","family":"K\u00f6nig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Actuation Technology, Saarland University, Saarbruecken, Germany"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Pagliai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering (DIEF), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8493-7594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Ridolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering (DIEF), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Rindi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering (DIEF), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]},{"given":"Benedetto","family":"Allotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering (DIEF), University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,25]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"The ROV manual: a user guide for remotely operated vehicles","year":"2014","author":"Christ RD","key":"bibr1-0959651819829627"},{"volume-title":"Proceedings of the sixth international symposium on underwater technology (UT2009)","author":"Christ RD","key":"bibr2-0959651819829627"},{"key":"bibr3-0959651819829627","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Allotta B, Costanzi R, Gelli J, et al.
