  • Publication number: 20240025472
    Abstract: To provide a controller for rotary electric machine and an electric power steering apparatus which can set a control gain which is used for controlling the d-axis current command value based on the q-axis current deviation between the current command value of q-axis and the current detection value of q-axis, considering the response of the current of q-axis. A controller for rotary electric machine changes the current command value of d-axis, based on a value obtained by multiplying a proportional gain to a q-axis current deviation which is a deviation between the current command value of q-axis and the current detection value of q-axis; and changes the proportional gain in inverse proportion to the rotational angle speed.

  • Publication number: 20230412100
    Abstract: To provide a controller for rotary electric machine and an electric power steering apparatus which can increases decreases an increase amount of the current of d-axis in the negative direction appropriately, and can perform the weakening magnetic flux appropriately, irrespective of increase and decrease in the rotational angle speed, without using the information on the inductance and the interlinkage flux of the rotor. A controller for rotary electric machine, in a case where the current command value of q-axis is a positive value, changes the current command value of d-axis, based on a deviation between an offset q-axis current command value obtained by subtracting the q-axis offset value of the positive value from the current command value of q-axis, and the current detection value of q-axis.

    Abstract: To provide a controller for rotary electric machine which can suppress the increase in the switching frequency by the voltage for estimation while reducing the estimation delay of the magnetic pole position (the rotational angle). A controller for rotary electric machine turns on and off switching devices which the inverter has and applies voltage to the winding, based on a comparison result between the voltage command and the carrier wave; generates the voltage command for estimation of a preliminarily set one period on a stationary coordinate system fixed to the winding; generates the carrier wave of the same one period as the one period of the voltage command for estimation; extracts the frequency component of the one period of the voltage command for estimation from the current detection value; and estimates a rotational angle based on the frequency component.
