A motor control device capable of improving damping effects of a motor. In a motor control device, a control switching determination unit determines whether or not a control region of a motor is in a voltage saturation region. A voltage command value generator generates a voltage command value of the motor based on a velocity command value and a velocity of the motor. When the control switching determination unit determines that the control region of the motor is in the voltage saturation region, the voltage command value generator determines a voltage vector angle of an output voltage applied to the motor from a total torque command value and a limit value of the maximum voltage capable of being output to the motor, and generates a voltage command value based on the voltage vector angle.

A method for stabilizing a DC link voltage of an electrical converter, the method including: determining a DC link voltage signal for the DC link voltage of the electrical converter; determining a fluctuation signal of the DC link voltage by applying a high pass filter to the DC link voltage signal; determining a torque offset by multiplying the fluctuation signal with a gain value; and modifying a reference torque with the torque offset for controlling the electrical converter.
