  • Patent number: 10072993
    Abstract: A torque estimating system for a synchronous electric motor having a permanent magnet includes: a superimposing unit configured to superimpose a voltage or current of a frequency different from a frequency of a fundamental wave driving the synchronous electric motor on at least a d-axis of the synchronous electric motor; a magnet temperature estimating unit configured to estimate a temperature of the permanent magnet from the superimposed voltage or current and a current or voltage obtained by the superimposing; and a torque estimating unit configured to estimate a torque of the synchronous electric motor from the estimated temperature of the permanent magnet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 11, 2018
    Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.
    Inventors: David Díaz Reigosa, Fernando Briz Del Blanco, Hideo Yoshida, Takashi Kato
  • Patent number: 9438145
    Abstract: A magnet temperature estimating system for a synchronous electric motor having a permanent magnet includes: a superimposing unit configured to superimpose a voltage or current of a frequency different from a frequency of a fundamental wave driving the synchronous electric motor on at least a d-axis of the synchronous electric motor; a calculator configured to calculate an impedance of the synchronous electric motor from the superimposed voltage or current and a current or voltage obtained by the superimposing; and a magnet temperature estimating unit configured to estimate a temperature of the permanent magnet on the basis of the calculated impedance.
