    摘要: An AC motor controller is provided that utilizes a direct torque controller and primary and secondary control loops. The primary control loop operates in a relatively conventional manner, determining a voltage vector that sets the inverter switching variables for the motor's power inverter, where the voltage vector is based on the motor's torque and flux as estimated from the measured voltage and current of the motor. Application of the voltage vector determined by the primary loop is delayed until initiation of the next primary control loop cycle. The secondary loop, utilizing a faster sampling rate than that of the primary loop, compares the measured phase current to a preset current limit. If the secondary loop determines that the measured phase current has exceeded the preset current limit, it sets a null voltage vector, thereby limiting transient over currents.

    摘要: A difference command generator generates a difference command equivalent to a time integral of three-phase voltage applied to an inductive load in a predetermined cycle in a complex plane. A vector command generator generates vector commands that are respectively time integrals of voltage vectors and compose the difference command. A switching signal generator generates switching signals for controlling three pairs of switches in an inverter on the basis of the vector commands. A phase-current computing unit obtains an estimated value for the three-phase current on the basis of a current flowing DC buses and the vector commands. At least two of the vector commands that are time integrals of different ones of the non-zero voltage vectors have magnitudes greater than or equal to a predetermined value corresponding to a minimum required amount of time to maintain switching patterns in order for the phase-current computing unit to detect the current.

    摘要: Methods of providing a control band for a hysteresis controller are presented. A method can determine a control band analytically to avoid the time and costs associated with manual calibration of a hysteresis controller. By way of example, a method can include modeling a machine output, such as stator flux or machine torque, modeling the variation rate for the machine output, and providing a control band based on the variation rate modeling.

    摘要: An open-loop and/or closed-loop control device for operating an asynchronous machine which is fed by a 3-phase power converter. The open-loop and/or closed-loop control structure has a stator flux controller and a pulse pattern generator for generating pulse signals based on mean values. An output of the stator flux controller is connected to an input of the pulse pattern generator, with the result that the pulse pattern generator can generate the pulse signals as a function of a manipulated variable which is generated by the stator flux controller. The stator flux controller is configured so as to generate the manipulated variable as a function of a desired value of the stator flux of the asynchronous machine and as a function of a desired value of the torque of the asynchronous machine. The stator flux controller has a dead-beat control response.
