Publication number: 20190260318Abstract: In a sensorless control of a motor, due to the characteristic of a response frequency, an induced voltage, a magnetic pole position estimation gain, a current control gain, and a speed control gain are closely related. An object of the invention is to enable the induced voltage and the frequency characteristic of a magnetic pole position estimation system to be clearly designed and to theoretically and quantitatively design all of the control gains necessary for the sensorless control so as to solve a problem that a method of designing those parameters cannot be established and the parameters have to be adjusted in a try and error manner. A control device has an estimator estimating an estimation induced voltage and a phase error of a motor by applying an induced-voltage observer and a controller controlling the motor on the basis of the estimation induced voltage and the phase error.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Reiji YAMASAKI, Yutaka ONO
