摘要:
Methods and systems for synchronizing an electric grid having unbalanced voltages are provided. A voltage vector may be filtered in a quadrature tracking filter (QTF) to generate a quadrature signal. A phase-locked-loop (PLL) operation may be performed on the quadrature signal to monitor a voltage vector between the grid and a connected power converter. The QTF and PLL methods are suitable for either single-phase applications or n-phase (any number of phases) applications. A frequency estimator estimates the grid frequency of the electric grid and outputs the estimated frequency to the QTF algorithms. The frequency estimator may include a three-phase phase-locked-loop (three-phase PLL) suitable for estimating the center frequencies of multiple phases of the electric grid. The frequency estimator may also include means for reducing the harmonics in the grid system.

Methods and systems for tracking an electronic signal corresponding to an operating frequency of an electronic component are provided. A method may include sampling the signal to determine previous and current time samples of the signal. A frequency of interest in the signal may also be pre-warped to decrease adverse warping effects resulting from processing signals having relatively higher operating frequencies. The previous and current time samples of the signals, along with the pre-warped frequency of interest, may be input into a digital tracking filter. The digital tracking filter may be configured to execute one or more algorithms on the previous and current time samples and the pre-warped frequency of interest to estimate a current operating frequency.

A method and apparatus for controlling an AC motor are described wherein a frequency generator is configured to generate a signal representative of the stator electrical frequency and to estimate the rotor electrical frequency of the motor during operation. The generator operates on torque and flux current reference signals and on d-axis voltage reference and feedback signals to determine the electrical frequencies. The generator ramps up gain values applied to the torque current reference signals and to a voltage error signals representative of the difference between the d-axis voltage reference and feedback signals during a startup phase of operation to enhance performance and stability of the drive during this phase. The generator includes feedforward and feedback portions that contribute components of the final stator frequency signal. The components are filtered differently during startup and running phases of operation to provide the desired frequency signals.

A frequency control method is incorporated in a motor drive to prevent overcurrent trips when an induction motor is subjected to impact loads or reconnection under load. The drive includes a current regulator loop to control stator current and a voltage regulator loop to control the command to the current regulator. Motor voltage is sensed and a voltage error is developed. This voltage error is processed through a proportional-integral control loop which controls an operating frequency signal to the current regulator. The drive responds during current limit conditions to reduce operating frequency and speed until the current limit conditions subside. The motor can then be re-accelerated up to the desired operating speed.

The drive system may also include a controller configured to send a plurality of switching signals to a plurality of switches in the rectifier such that the plurality of switching signals minimizes a current provided to the rectifier when only a single-phase of the three-phase AC voltage source is available.
