Abstract:
A motor controller includes an evaluation value calculator and an evaluation value searcher. The evaluation value calculator calculates an evaluation value represented by a function including a q-axis current value of a torque current component of a current through an induction motor. The evaluation value has a first sign among a positive sign and a negative sign when a rotational speed of the induction motor is greater than a frequency of a voltage applied to the induction motor by a predetermined amount, and has a second sign when the rotational speed is smaller than the frequency by the predetermined amount. The evaluation value searcher performs an evaluation value search to increase or decrease the frequency based on whether the evaluation value has the positive or negative sign so as to make the frequency close to the rotational speed of the induction motor in a free run state.
Abstract:
A controlling apparatus for an electric motor according to an embodiment includes a superposed component generator, an inverter, a current detector, and a magnetic pole position estimator. The superposed component generator generates, at a predetermined cycle, a superposed voltage reference of which vector is shifted by 90 degrees with respect to that of a superposed voltage reference previously generated, in a coordinate system that is set to a stator of the electric motor. The inverter outputs a driving voltage that is based on a driving voltage reference superposed with the superposed voltage reference to the electric motor. The current detector detects currents flowing into respective phases of the electric motor, and outputs the detected currents. The magnetic pole position estimator detects the magnetic pole position of the electric motor based on an amount of change in the detected currents at the predetermined cycle.
Abstract:
A motor control apparatus according to the embodiment includes a rotational position estimating unit, a change amount estimating unit, and an inductance estimating unit. The rotational position estimating unit estimates a rotational position of a rotor from a motor parameter including a q-axis inductance of a motor on a basis of an output current to the motor and a voltage reference. The change amount estimating unit estimates a change amount of an output torque with respect to a current phase change of the motor corresponding to a high frequency signal whose frequency is higher than a drive frequency of the motor. The inductance estimating unit estimates an inductance value that obtains a maximum torque on a basis of the change amount as the q-axis inductance.
