摘要:
An apparatus includes a multi-phase inverter, a fault detector to indicate a detection of a fault, a sensor to provide a speed signal indicative of whether a speed of a PM motor is greater than a transition speed, and a controller. The controller is operable to apply either an open-circuit response or a short-circuit response to the multi-phase inverter. The open-circuit response is applied when the speed of the PM motor is greater than the transition speed and a fault is detected. The short-circuit response is applied when the speed of the PM motor is less than the transition speed and the fault is detected. The transition speed is either a fixed predetermined speed or an adjusted predetermined speed.

Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a stand-alone four-leg three-phase inverter. The inverter three-phase output is converted from AC domain elements to corresponding DC domain elements. The DC domain elements are processed into combined regulating and imbalance compensating signals, including over-current limiting. The compensating signals are restored to corresponding AC domain signals, and are processed into control inputs for the inverter, in order to stabilize the inverter output when connected to an unbalanced load. The inverter controller can be implemented entirely in software as a control algorithm.

A control system and method for controlling an inverter used in an electric vehicle. The control system and method measures an average DC bus voltage and compares it to low voltage and high voltage thresholds defining predetermined conditions. If the voltage conditions are satisfied, the six-step mode is enabled based upon an applied torque command. Thus, if the torque command is higher than a high torque threshold, the six-step mode indefinitely enabled, and if the torque command is below the high torque threshold, the six-step mode is enabled for a limited time duration, and then disabled.

A control system for a vehicle powered by a fuel cell includes a voltage conversion device that communicates with the fuel cell through a voltage bus and a propulsion system that is selectively powered by the fuel cell through the voltage bus and that selectively generates a ripple current in the voltage bus.

A drive system that is suitable for high bandwidth current control of a three-phase voltage source inverter in the overmodulation region includes a feedback path that has a harmonic decoupling block that subtracts selected harmonic components from signals representative of a corresponding motor phase current signal. The harmonic decoupling block thereby generates corrected feedback signals. The drive system also includes subtractor blocks that subtract the corrected feedback signals from signals representative of open-loop magnetizing reference currents to generate difference signals. Also included is a modulation block that utilizes the difference signals to produce signals to drive a three-phase voltage source inverter in an overmodulated six-step mode.
摘要:
A control algorithm or method for use in controlling a voltage-fed induction machine. The control algorithm includes the following steps. The DC link voltage supplied to an inverter driving the induction machine is monitored. When the DC link voltage is high enough, the algorithm controls the amount of current supplied to the induction machine to provide current controlled operation of the induction machine. When the DC link voltage is not high enough to control the current under transient conditions, the induction machine is controlled by imposing the maximum possible phase voltage and optimal slip angle on the machine to provide maximal torque per ampere operation of the induction machine. The maximal torque per ampere operation is performed when either of the following conditions is met: a) the torque level required by the induction machine is such that efficiency optimization cannot be performed, or b) current regulators approach saturation. The current controlled operation is performed when a) the torque level required by the induction machine is at a level that allows efficiency optimization, and b) the current regulators are not near saturation. The efficiency optimization in the current controlled mode is performed by using a single constant over the whole operating range.

A surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine drive and a method of controlling the machine drive. Flux weakening and current regulating loops cooperate to provide automatic transition to the flux weakening mode (operation above base speed), regardless of DC bus voltage, load or other operating conditions. The modulation index (d) is used as a condition for automatic start of flux weakening operation is very useful because this point can be easily changed by software when necessary, regardless of the value of DC bus voltage. This feature provides significant performance improvement. No look-up tables are used in the flux weakening loop. The on-set point for flux weakening is automatically adjusted, and may be changed through software. An appropriate d-axis current component is injected over the entire speed range, providing the maximum available torque (which corresponds to the q-axis current component).
