Patent number: 11177732Abstract: A component includes an adaptive estimator. A converter includes a switching rectifier connected to an LCL filter with a converter inductor, a capacitor, and grid inductor connected to a voltage source through a conductor with unknown inductance. Current of the converter inductor is input to the adaptive estimator which includes an ideal LCL filter model that generates, using a simple filter, a desired dynamic behavior of the converter and LCL filter and a disturbance compensator. An LCL steady-state (“SS”) compensation models a steady-state effect of the LCL filter and conductor. Output of the adaptive estimator is subtracted from output of the LCL SS compensation to form a disturbance estimate, which is summed with a feedback loop output of the converter to form a voltage control signal that controls switching of the switching rectifier. The voltage control signal is summed with the disturbance estimate and is input to the adaptive estimator.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Zhendong Zhang, Rob Miklosovic, Ahmed Mohamed Sayed Ahmed

Patent number: 10727772Abstract: For predicting a load pattern, a method determines a torque error from a torque reference modified by a low pass filter function of the torque reference. The torque reference is one of measured from an induction machine energized by a flux current and a torque current and calculated in an induction machine controller.

In response to detecting the torque increase pulse, the method determines a change delay time from the torque relative variation and the torque increase pulse. The method further determines a change period from at least two torque increase pulses. The method increases the flux current before a change time that is predicted as a function of the change delay time and the change period.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lei Jin, Robert J.
