Abstract: Methods of operating electric motor systems that comprise electric motors comprising a rotor having a magnet mounted thereto. The electric motor is initially operated in an open loop mode in which the rotor angle is estimated based on the input voltage frequency. Once the motor is running at sufficient speed, a transition to closed loop mode operation is performed, wherein the rotor angle is determined using an observed back EMF. To provide a smoother open loop to closed loop transition, the rotor angle is determined during a transition period as a function of both the open loop rotor angle and the closed loop rotor angle.

Abstract: A controller for an electrical drive system includes one or more electrical drives, one or more electrical loads, and a switching component configured to connect the one or more electrical drives to the one or more electrical loads in a switching configuration. The controller includes a processing module configured to receive switching data indicative of the switching configuration and analyze the switching data to determine control data for at least one of the electrical drives. The controller further includes an output module configured to output the control data to the at least one electrical drive. The at least one electrical drive is configured to use the control data to supply the electrical load/s, via the switching component, with electrical power.

Abstract: A proportional integrator for control of a motor drive arranged to be connected in parallel with one or more other motor drives to drive a common load. The proportional integrator includes means to receive an input command signal and to compare with a local measured signal from the motor drive and to output a local control signal for that motor drive. Also includes are a global input signal indicative of the behaviour of the one or more other motor drives, the global input signal being incorporated into the proportional integral function with the input command signal and the local measured signal to provide the local control signal.

Abstract: A motor drive comprises a rectifier circuit portion arranged to receive an externally supplied AC voltage and to generate a DC bus voltage. An inverter circuit portion is arranged to receive the DC bus voltage (VDC_Bus) and to generate an AC output voltage (Vout) for supply to an external load. A DC bus portion is connected between the rectifier and the inverter. An inductor (L1) is connected in series along a bus conductor between the rectifier and inverter, and a DC link capacitor (C1) is connected in parallel between the bus conductors. A voltage across the DC link capacitor (C1) is input to a tuneable notch filter arranged to supply a filtered signal. A controller varies the resonant frequency of the notch filter to a plurality of values across an operational range and modulates a supply current provided by the inverter with a probe current signal at the resonant frequency.

Abstract: A controller for a switched reluctance machine, the machine comprising two concurrently energised phases and two concurrently non-energised phases. The controller is configured to, in an injection stage, inject a signal into the two non-energised phases; in a measurement stage, determine a current in each of the two non-energised phases; and in a calculation stage, apply an algorithm to the determined currents to determine a rotor angle.
