摘要:
A controlled current inverter system forms the basis of an a.c. motor drive system for furnishing the motor load with a variable frequency, variable magnitude a.c. current from an inverter which is supplied from a variable d.c. current source by way of a d.c. link including an inductor. Torque is the control parameter employed in the system and the motor speed and torque are controlled through the control of motor flux and motor current, by maintaining a controlled ratio between the direct and quadrature motor currents, through separate control paths to the d.c. source and the inverter. A third control path functioning on the difference between the desired and actual motor flux serves as a modifier to the main control paths to improve overall operation and control. Means associated with the basic control paths provide for dynamic braking of the motor.

A load commutated inverter synchronous motor drive system wherein a thyristor firing control of the inverter is determined by the amplitude of pesudo flux waveforms which are derived from the integral of the line voltages coupling the inverter to the motor being driven. A firing strategy is provided based on the premise that optimum thyristor firing in a load commutated inverter operating at a leading power factor occurs at a point just below the peak of the forthcoming pseudo flux waveform which point comprises an amount of volt-seconds necessary to effect current commutation plus a nominal safety margin. The determination and control is implemented, preferably, in a software phase lock loop but can, when desirable, be implemented in hardware.

A variable speed ac motor drive such as a controlled current inverter drive with load angle control generates an inverter frequency command signal which at low speed has a large ripple component and a small dc component representing the desired frequency. A variable frequency oscillator is responsive only to the dc component and supplies timing pulses to a ring counter which generates thyristor gating signals in the forward and reverse phase sequence. Smooth reversing over a wide range of torque is realized, and multipulse operation is inherent at low speeds to modulate the inverter output and minimize cogging torque.

A fault protective system for a load commutated inverter motor drive including an AC to DC source side converter coupled from an AC source to a DC to AC load side converter via a DC link circuit and wherein the load side converter supplies AC power of varying magnitude and frequency to the synchronous motor load. A pair of microcomputers interlinked by a common digital memory respectively control the inverters and interface with hardware type sensor means for detecting the occurrence of a plurality of different types of faults. Additionally, a number of stored instructional sets or programs are respectively included in both microcomputers to detect by software means another plurality of faults. The detection of a fault on either side of the link circuit is communicated to the respective computer which subsequently communicates with the other microcomputer to effect a coordinated protective action in response to thyristor cell failures, circuit failures, and abnormal operating conditions. Cell failure faluts include those instances where a thyristor cell actually fails due to an open or short circuit as well as those cases where a cell fails to commutate properly due to firing strategy problems. Cirucit failures include open and short circuits both in the supply line and the motor leads, while abnormal operating conditions involve such things as low line voltage or excessive motor voltage.
摘要:
A controlled current inverter motor control system including a controlled source of direct current for supplying a variable frequency inverter by way of a direct current link circuit which includes, within the link circuit, a selectively insertable dynamic braking resistive element. Upon a call for a dynamic braking mode of operation, the source of direct current is short circuited and the normal operational or running control of the motor is discontinued. Special circuitry is provided which then forces a special frequency control of the inverter to thus control the angle between the motor flux and motor current to a prescribed value proportional to the extant value of a motor operating parameter (motor current or motor flux) prior to the insertion of the dynamic braking resistive element into the link circuit.
摘要:
A digital firing control circuit is disclosed for controlling the generation of firing pulses for the eight controlled rectifiers (thyristors) in a bridge power converter in five distinct operating modes as well as effecting a smooth continuous transition between modes. The circuit compares and combines a plurality of locally generated time related waveforms according to a predetermined control algorithm in response to an applied analog command voltage to control the d.c. output voltage as well as providing certain protection functions such as end stops or inversion limits. The locally generated time related waveforms comprise sets of square voltage signals generated in accordance with selected cross-overs of the line voltages of the a.c. sources as well as the cross-overs of six firing reference ramp voltage signals separated from each other by 60.degree. and extending 240 electrical degrees. One particular mode of interest exists at relatively low voltage levels wherein the phase leg thyristors are respectively rendered conductive for a period of 60.degree. in the range of firing angles from 90.degree. to 120.degree. with the neutral leg thyristors being fired 60.degree. after the phase thyristor firing, or at a firing angle of 150.degree. to 180.degree. .

A control system for powering an AC load such as a polyphase synchronous motor having at least two sets of three phase (3.phi.) windings. Each three phase winding set is powered by an independently operable six pulse load commutated inverter drive including a source side converter and a load side converter coupled together by means of a DC link and wherein the source side converter and the load side converter are operated in accordance with respective current and load angle regulators which respond to torque command signals generated by speed regulators. The two motor drives operate concurrently in separate control channels which are substantially independent of one another with the exception that in one embodiment, which is the preferred embodiment, the speed regulator and the motor terminal overvoltage regulator are cross-coupled to effect a balanced torque command and motor terminal voltage from each channel while still providing for continued motor operation by one of the motor drive channels in the event that the other becomes inoperative for any reason. In a second embodiment, one of two redundant speed regulators is adapted to provide a common torque command to both channels with the other speed regulator taking over in the event of the failure of said one speed regulator.

The effect of commutation notches 35 appearing in the nominally sinusoidal alternating current (AC) line-to-line voltage, for example, v.sub.ab used to synchronize the firing of thyristors in three phase, phase-locked power converters 12 and 14 is essentially eliminated by reconstructing the corrupted line-to-line voltage by summing the integral of the corrupted line-to-line voltage .PSI..sub.ab with a signal proportional to the product of the delta load current, for example, i.sub.ab and the commutation inductance L.sub.c. The composite waveform .PSI..sub.ab +i.sub.ab .times.L.sub.c) resulting from the summation has well defined zero crossings 41 from which synchronizing pulses are generated for synchronizing the phase-locked thyristor firing circuit 18 implemented by either software or hardware techniques. Additionally, the reconstructed waveform is used to control commutation, particularly in the control of a load side converter i.e. inverter 14 which is utilized in an AC motor drive system.

摘要:
Closed loop control of a pulse width modulated inverter-induction machine drive system is accomplished with a pair of microcomputers. The first microcomputer generates a periodic interrupt signal and a reference signal representative of the desired magnitude of a preselected induction machine parameter, the reference signal varying in frequency and amplitude in accordance with an externally-varied frequency value and amplitude value, respectively. The second microcomputer, when interrupted by the first microcomputer, computes the difference between the first microcomputer reference signal magnitude and the actual preselected machine parameter magnitude and the difference between the actual inverter output current magnitude and a preset limit, and controls inverter thyristor conduction accordingly.
