Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus includes: an inverter unit having high and low potential-side switching elements corresponding to each phase of a winding of a rotating electrical machine; a current detecting unit; a current obtaining unit obtaining a current detection value with a fixed interval sampling timing; and a control unit controlling the switching elements based on a PWM reference signal and a duty instruction value. The control unit includes: a phase current computing device; a voltage instruction value computing device; and a duty computing device. The phase current computing device computes a correction current based on positive and negative side corrected current detection values. The positive-side corrected current detection value is obtained when a duty is adjusted to a positive side, and the negative-side corrected current detection value is obtained when the duty is adjusted to a negative side.
Abstract:
A current estimation section of a motor control apparatus carries out the following processing. When an AC motor is controlled under a current feedback control scheme (sine wave control mode or overmodulation control mode), a β-axis current iβ is calculated based on a current detection value iw_sns in a sensor phase and a current command value iv* in one other phase. When the AC motor is controlled under a torque feedback control scheme (rectangular wave control mode), the β-axis current iβ is calculated based on a differential value Δiα of an α-axis current. Then a sensor phase reference current phase θx is calculated to estimate a U-phase current. Thus it is possible to use the current feedback control scheme and the torque feedback control scheme together.
Abstract:
A control apparatus includes an electric current estimation unit to improve a responsiveness of an AC motor. The electric current estimation unit performs, at predetermined intervals, a dq conversion, a correction process, and an inverted dq conversion. The dq conversion calculates d/q axis electric current estimate values based on a detection value of a sensor phase from a sensor, and on an electric current estimate values of two phases of the AC motor other than the sensor phase from a previous cycle. The correction process corrects, during the dq conversion, the d/q axis electric current estimate values in an orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to a sensor phase axis. The inverted dq conversion calculates the electric current estimate values of the two phases other than the sensor phase based on the d/q axis electric current estimate values corrected by the correction process and smoothed by a low-pass filter process.

Abstract:
In a steering control apparatus, a reaction force torque command value is calculated so that a detection value of a torque sensor follows a target value obtained by adding at least a viscosity command value and a return command value to a steering torque command value, and an electric current that flows to a reaction force rotary electric machine is controlled based on the reaction force torque command value. Whether a steering state is a turning state or a returning state is determined by comparing a physical quantity corresponding to an output torque of a reaction force device and the detection value of the torque sensor. Characteristics of one or more of a reaction force amount operation, a viscosity amount operation, and a return amount operation are made differ between the turning state and the returning state.
