    摘要: Systems and methods for estimating input current are provided, particularly when input currents are applied to an electric motor of a motor system. An Electric Control Unit (ECU), according to one implementation, is configured to control the motor system. The ECU is configured to store computer logic having instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processing devices to obtain a duty cycle parameter at an output of the ECU. The duty cycle parameter, for example, relates to control actions enforced on one or more switches of a power electronics circuit of the motor system. Based on the duty cycle parameter, the instructions further cause the one or more processing devices to estimate an input current provided to the electric motor of the motor system. A more accurate input current estimation may thereby be used to better estimate torque.

    摘要: A power conversion apparatus that converts an input alternating current power supplied from an alternating current power supply into an output alternating current power having a predetermined voltage and frequency, includes an inverter circuit configured to supply the output alternating current power to a motor, and a compensation unit configured to compensate for a harmonic of an input power of the motor, and the compensation unit detects a harmonic component generated in synchronism with a speed of the motor in the input power, and varies a phase of an alternating current voltage output from the inverter circuit at the same frequency as the harmonic component, so as to reduce the harmonic component.

    摘要: In a power conversion system, a power converter includes a power conversion circuit connected to a direct current (DC) source via a DC distribution line and converts and supplies received DC power to a load, and a power conversion control unit. A power stabilizing device is disposed between the DC distribution line and the power converter and stabilizes a DC voltage applied from the DC power source. A control power source of the power stabilizing device performs current control of the current transformer to suppress DC magnetization caused by a DC current component of the primary current while compensating for a varying component of the DC voltage. The control power source acquires current information or voltage information calculated from control information used by the power conversion control unit for control operations related to energization of the load and uses it as control information for the power stabilizing device.

    摘要: An inverter control device performs pulse width modulation by selecting one of a synchronous pulse control mode in which a frequency of a carrier wave used in the pulse width modulation is changed in accordance with a rotation speed of the motor and an asynchronous pulse control mode in which the frequency of the carrier wave is constant regardless of the rotation speed of the motor. At the time of switching from the asynchronous pulse control mode to the synchronous pulse control mode, the inverter control device changes a carrier reference phase that is a reference value of a phase of the carrier wave to a different value before and after the switching.
