摘要： A control architecture for an electrical inverter includes a synchronous frame current regulator and a stationary frame current regulator. The stationary frame current regulator receives input currents that represent filtered versions of stationary frame currents that correspond to the inverter output currents. The control architecture employs an adaptive filter module that filters the stationary frame currents to remove the fundamental motor frequency component (and its related harmonics), thus extracting any low frequency harmonic components. The stationary frame current regulator processes the low frequency components, while the synchronous frame current regulator processes the fundamental frequency component, resulting in suppression of low frequency oscillations in the inverter output.

摘要： A method for controlling an inverter uses sequences of predetermined states where each state uniquely corresponding to a set of control signals provided to the inverter that is coupled to a motor. The method includes repeatedly applying a first center null timing sequence of the states while monitoring a zero crossing condition and then changing the repeated application of the first center null timing sequence of the states into a repeated application of a second center null timing sequence of states when the monitoring detects a zero crossing condition. The repeated application of the first center null timing sequence sequentially provides the inverter with a first predetermined sequence of sets of control signals. The monitoring of a zero crossing condition monitors for a zero crossing condition in an electrical current flowing between the inverter and a terminal of the motor. The second center null timing sequence defines a second predetermined sequence of sets of control signals.

摘要： A control architecture for an electrical inverter includes a command limiter that is realized as a circular voltage limiter. The command limiter includes a Cartesian-to-polar converter coupled to a command source such as a synchronous frame current regulator. The Cartesian-to-polar converter provides magnitude and phase components for d-q command voltages. The command limiter further includes a magnitude limiter that limits the magnitude component to the maximum fundamental voltage component of the inverter, and a polar-to-Cartesian converter that converts the limited magnitude component and the phase component into modified d-q command voltages.
