The method includes digitalizing detected position information of the motor rotor and receiving the digitalized position information from a resolver-digital converter to measure the position error. An electrical angular velocity of the position error is determined and the position error at the electrical angular velocity 0 is calculated and stored. The position error at a current electrical angular velocity is converted into and compensated for using the calculated position error based on the current electrical angular velocity.
