  • Patent number: 9720046
    Abstract: A battery state estimating device being one aspect of the present invention detects a current and a terminal voltage of a secondary battery, estimates a terminal voltage of the secondary battery which is based on a predetermined battery model by using measured values I(k) and V(k) respectively of the detected current and the detected terminal voltage, and sequentially identifies a parameter ?^(k) of the battery model in such a way that the difference between a value based on the measured value of the terminal voltage and an estimate value of the terminal voltage converges to zero. Then, when a certain parameter ?n in the identified parameter is equal to or larger than a predetermined first threshold ?1, the battery state estimating device performs upper limit processing of setting the value of the certain parameter ?n to the first threshold ?1.

  • Patent number: 9318989
    Abstract: Disclosed is a three-phase AC induction motor control device for controlling a torque based on a two-axis orthogonal coordinate system in synchronization with a power supply angular frequency, the control device including: a non-interference controller configured to receive a motor rotation speed, a torque command value, and a power supply voltage as an input and compute a torque axis non-interference compensation voltage and a magnetic flux axis non-interference compensation voltage by referencing a map stored in advance; and a non-interference magnetic flux response filter configured to perform filtering, including a direct transfer term and a rotor magnetic flux response delay, for the torque axis non-interference compensation voltage.

  • Patent number: 8909490
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a battery state estimation device and a battery state estimation method which identify parameter of a secondary battery with high accuracy. A current and a terminal voltage of secondary battery are detected, then by using the current measured value and terminal voltage measured value thus detected, the terminal voltage of secondary battery based on predetermined battery model is estimated, and the parameter of the secondary battery is identified such that a difference between terminal voltage measured value and voltage estimated value is converged to zero. In the identifying of parameter of secondary battery, the terminal voltage measured value and terminal voltage estimated value are subjected to filter treatment by low pass filter having a common high frequency breaking characteristic and the terminal voltage measured value and terminal voltage estimated value subjected to the filter treatment are used.
