DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE AND DRIVE CONTROL METHOD
Provided is a drive control device including: a DC voltage source; an inverter configured to switch a switching element, to thereby apply a drive voltage to a rotary electric machine to cause a drive current to flow through the rotary electric machine; and a control unit configured to: control an output voltage of the DC voltage source; and perform control of causing, based on a torque command value for the rotary electric machine, a drive current to flow through the switching element in a first control mode, in which a drive current having a value equal to or smaller than a first current limit value is caused to flow, and a second control mode, in which a drive current having a value larger than the first current limit value is caused to flow.
ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE CONTROL DEVICE
A rotating electrical machine control device shifts a control system to synchronous five-pulse control when an operating point crosses a second boundary from a state in which asynchronous pulse-width modulation control is being executed, and shifts the control system to the asynchronous pulse-width modulation control when the operating point crosses a first boundary from a state in which the synchronous five-pulse control is being executed. The first boundary is set such that the number of switching pulses per unit rotational speed by the synchronous five-pulse control immediately before the operating point crosses the first boundary is smaller than the number of the switching pulses per unit rotational speed by the asynchronous pulse-width modulation control immediately after the operating point crosses the first boundary.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF A MOTOR
A motor controller (100) is provided for smooth operation of an electric motor (102), which mitigates torque ripple, noise and vibration effects, and increases a life span of the motor (102). The motor controller (100) includes a speed controller (120), current transformation units (128 and 130), a current controller (132), and a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generator (134). The current controller (132) determines a duty cycle of PWM gate signals used for controlling a rotor (104) speed within a particular sector (302A) of the motor (102) based on a reference quadrature-axis current and an actual quadrature-axis current. The PWM signal generator generates the PWM gate signals having the determined duty cycle, controls the rotor (104) speed, and incrementally varies a current speed of the motor (102) to achieve a target speed by modulating operations of a specific pair of inverter switches (502C and 502E) using the PWM gate signals.
CONTROL DEVICE FOR AC MOTOR
A feedback control switching unit of an inverter control unit selects, based on a magnitude relationship between a predetermined switching determination amount and at least one switching threshold, at least one of feedback control units to thereby execute switching among feedback control modes, such as a current feedback control mode and a torque feedback control mode, of the respective feedback control units for driving of the AC motor. A switching command generating unit generates a switching command for an inverter based on a manipulated variable calculated by the selected feedback control unit. When a torque response request determining unit determines that a required torque responsiveness is high, the feedback control switching unit reduces the number of executions of switching among the feedback control modes.

Motor drive device and method for driving motor
A motor drive device includes a detecting unit that detects a rotational position of a rotor, a drive waveform generating circuit that generates a drive waveform, a control unit that synchronizes a phase of the rotational position of the rotor and a phase of the drive waveform, and a phase difference setting unit that sets a phase difference between the rotational position and the drive waveform during synchronization. An Apos generating unit calculates and outputs a position count proportional to a rotation amount of the rotor. A Bpos generating unit acquires the position count from the Apos generating unit and converts the count into a count value with the upper limit value as the maximum value. A Cpos generating unit multiplies the count value acquired from the Bpos generating unit by the conversion ratio, and calculates a count value with a predetermined upper limit value as the maximum value.
CONTROLLER OF ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLE
A controller of an electrically powered vehicle includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit performs a switching control by a square wave control in a first switching mode when a rotation speed of the motor is equal to or higher than a first predetermined rotation speed. The electronic control unit performs the switching control by the square wave control in a second switching mode when the rotation speed of the motor is lower than the first predetermined rotation speed. The first predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed lower than a first resonance region. The first switching mode is a mode of a switching pattern that suppresses LC resonance in the first resonance region. The second switching mode is a mode of a switching pattern that suppresses LC resonance in a second resonance region lower than the first predetermined rotation speed.
