Abstract:
Synchronous motor controlling apparatus and method controls power applied to minimize or eliminate speed variations of a synchronous motor due to variations in load imposed the motor. The rotational position of a rotor of the synchronous motor based on the input terminal voltages and currents to the synchronous motor, and the power applied to the motor is adjusted accordingly. Higher harmonics of the input voltages and currents may also be used to detect the position of the rotor. In addition, the apparatus and method also accounts for the varying speed command inputs.
Abstract:
When torque control is performed for suppressing speed change within one rotation using a synchronous motor (6) controlled by an inverter (5) for a load having cyclic torque changing, an arrangement is employed which includes inverter control means (8) (10) for controlling the inverter (5) so as to superpose a changing amount upon an amplitude and phase of a current waveform or voltage waveform, so that torque control is realized for reducing low speed vibration of a cyclic intermittent load with maximum efficiency condition and with practical arrangement.
