  • Publication number: 20230053215
    Abstract: During model-based development, a processing target is sometimes broken down into partial structures. At such time, a long calculation time and a large quantity of computer resources are required if each partial structure has a large number of degrees of freedom. The present invention is a hierarchical reduced-order matrix generation device 600 that generates a hierarchical reduced-order matrix for performing numerical analysis of a physical object, and has: a storage unit 62 that stores physical object data indicating properties of the physical object; and a computation unit 61 that generates a hierarchical reduced-order matrix for a model of the physical object data. The computation unit 61 divides the overall structure into a plurality of partial structures, and calculates the reduced-order matrix using a unique mode and a static mode of each of the divided plurality of partial structures.

Further, by using “an amplitude value of a current iq′ in the q-axis direction of the rotational coordinates generated in response to the A/C voltage command id1*” which is fed back and detected via a current detector and a dq converting unit, a field pole position estimation value &thgr;{circumflex over ( )} is converged. The field pole position is estimated by using the converged field pole position estimation value &thgr;{circumflex over ( )} as a true value of the field pole position &thgr; of the synchronous motor.

  • Patent number: 5877607
    Abstract: In a controller for an electric vehicle, a voltage current phase difference calculating circuit calculates a vector phase .theta..sub.c from a voltage command value and the primary current of an alternating current motor. The vector phase .theta..sub.c is input to a second voltage command circuit which calculates a second d-axis voltage command value and a second q-axis voltage command value using the vector phase .theta..sub.c and d-axis and q-axis current differences. By correcting the voltage command value using the second d-axis and second q-axis voltage command values, the stability of the current control system is improved. By controlling the electric vehicle using such a system, a stable current control can be attained even when the electric vehicle is driven under a regenerative running state or a weak magnetic field control state.

  • Patent number: 5650700
    Abstract: An electric vehicle torque controller has a torque calculating unit and an actual torque detecting unit. The calculated torque is compared with the actual torque to generate a torque compensation value, which is converted to a torque current signal. The torque current signal is used to generate a slip frequency, which is added to an output of an angular speed detector and used to set a secondary magnetic flux value. A secondary magnetic flux signal is generated according to the secondary magnetic flux value and the torque current signal. A secondary magnetic flux estimating unit generates an estimated secondary magnetic flux value, which is used to determine the exciting current. Primary motor current is controlled in response to the exciting current, the torque current, motor speed and slip value.
