摘要:
A method is disclosed for controlling a synchronous motor by determining a rotor position of the synchronous motor based on estimating a flux linkage. The method includes applying a voltage of a stator winding of the motor to a transfer function. The transfer function includes an S-domain integration operation and an error correction variable. An output of the transfer function is processed to compensate for the error correction variable introduced in the transfer function. An estimated flux linkage is generated and an angle of the rotor position is computed based on the flux linkage. The computed rotor position is input to a controller for controlling a position or speed of the motor.

A method of providing ride-through capability in a chiller/refrigeration system employs a variable speed drive with an active converter stage, a DC link stage and an inverter stage for providing variable frequency and voltage to power at least one motor. An induction motor is coupled to the output of the inverter stage for driving a compressor in the chiller/refrigeration system. The ride-through method comprises operating the active converter to regulate the DC link voltage of the DC link stage to a predetermined voltage level until the current through the active converter equals a predetermined current limit, then transferring regulation of the DC link to the inverter upon reaching the current limit of the converter. The compressor is unloaded, and the power flow through the inverter is reversed to maintain the voltage level of the DC link stage. Pre-rotation vanes, slide valve, or check valve are used to unload the compressor.

A variable speed drive is provided having a converter to convert an AC voltage to a DC voltage, a DC link to filter and store energy from the converter, and a plurality of inverters. Each inverter is configured to convert a DC voltage to an AC voltage and is electrically connected in parallel to the DC link. An interleaved pulse width modulation control technique is used to control the operation of the plurality of inverters and possibly the converter to lower the RMS ripple current in the DC link.

A converter module for a variable speed drive having a semiconductor device for precharge is described. The precharge circuit includes switching modules, one switching module with a first semiconductor switch connected in parallel or series with a second semiconductor switch. The second semiconductor switch is switched on and off during the precharge operation in order to limit the inrush current into the DC Link. After the precharge operation, the second semiconductor switch is turned on all the time and acts like a diode. The second semiconductor device may have a lower maximum current rating than the main semi-conductor devices. The lower current rated semiconductor device experience the same short circuit current as the higher current rated semiconductor device. The lower current rated semiconductor device can be supplied with a larger gate to emitter voltage than the higher current rated semiconductor device to equalize current between semiconductor devices.

A grounding system for a semiconductor module of a variable speed drive includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer; a substrate disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; and a base attached to the second conductive layer, the base being connected to earth ground via a grounding harness. The first conductive layer is in electrical contact with the semiconductor module and the substrate, and electrically insulated from the second conductive layer by the substrate. The second conductive layer is in electrical contact with the substrate and disposed between the substrate and the base in electrical communication with an earth ground. The first conductive layer, the substrate and the second conductive layer form a capacitance path between the semiconductor module and the base as well as electrical conductors and the base for reduction circulating currents within the semiconductor module.

A variable speed drive with a boost converter is provided for a chiller system driven by a switched reluctance motor. The boost converter can be a diode or thyristor rectifier followed by a boost DC/DC converter or a three-phase pulse width modulated boost converter. The boost converter provides a boosted voltage to the DC link, which results in a boosted voltage being applied to the switched reluctance motor by the inverter of the variable speed drive.
