  • Patent number: 8330403
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a rotor flux vector of an electric motor (M), comprising a step of injecting a first current vector into a first reference frame (x+, y+) rotating at a first frequency (?) relative to a reference frame (d, q) synchronous with the rotation of the motor, and a second current vector into a second injection reference frame (x?, y?) rotating at a second frequency opposite to the first frequency, a step of determining a first stator flux induced voltage delivered at the output of a first integrator module (12) synchronous with the first reference frame (x+, y+) and a second stator voltage delivered at the output of a second integrator module (13) synchronous with the second reference frame (x?, y?), a step of regulating the position of the rotor flux vector by minimizing the error (?) between a real position and an estimated position (?S) of the rotor flux vector, the error being determined based on the second induced voltage.

  • Publication number: 20110101900
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control method implemented in a variable speed drive for determining the inductances (Ld, Lq) of a permanent magnet synchronous machine comprising three phases (a, b, c), each oriented along a direction, a stator, and a rotor. For each phase, one after the other, said method includes steps of: applying, along the direction of the phase (a, b, c), a voltage vector (V1, V3, V5) in the positive direction and a voltage vector (V2, V4, V6) in the negative direction for a predetermined duration; measuring the current obtained in the phase after applying the voltage vectors in both directions; determining an angle (?r) for the position of the rotor in relation to the stator based on the measured current; and determining the flow (Ld) and torque (Lq) inductances of the machine based on the predetermined angle (?r).
