Abstract:
A power converter according to embodiments includes a boost circuit, a single-phase inverter, a current controller, and a power conversion controller. The current controller generates a voltage reference based on a difference between current output from the single-phase inverter and a current reference. The power conversion controller controls the single-phase inverter to generate a first portion of the AC voltage, and controls the boost circuit to generate a second portion of the AC voltage. The first portion corresponds to the voltage reference of which an absolute value is smaller than the voltage of the DC power supply. The second portion corresponds to the voltage reference of which an absolute value is greater than the voltage of the DC power supply.
Abstract:
A motor controller includes a position speed estimation section and a control section. The position speed estimation section outputs a motor estimated position and a motor estimated speed based on a position estimated error, which is a difference between a motor position of a motor and the motor estimated position. An observer modifier outputs an observer modification value based on the position estimated error. A nonlinear compensator outputs a compensation torque based on the position estimated error. An operator outputs an operation value based on the observer modification value and the compensation torque. A motor model outputs the motor estimated position and the motor estimated speed based on the operation value. The control section outputs a torque command based on the motor estimated position, the motor estimated speed, and a position command to control the motor.
