20140254230 | MATRIX CONVERTER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - Provided is a matrix converter including a power converter, a commutation controller, and a compensator. The power converter includes a plurality of bidirectional switches. The commutation controller performs one of a three-step commutation operation and a four-step commutation operation by the bidirectional switches as a switch source and the bidirectional switches as a switch destination when an input terminal to be connected to an output terminal is switched by on/off control of the bidirectional switches. The compensator compensates for an output voltage error generated when the input terminal to be connected to the output terminal is switched, based on a potential difference before and after the switching of the input terminal to be connected to the output terminal, an output current of the output terminal, and capacitance between input and output terminals of unidirectional switches. | 09-11-2014 |
20140292248 | MOTOR CONTROLLER AND MOTOR SYSTEM - A motor controller includes a position speed estimation section and a control section. The position speed estimation section outputs a motor estimated position and a motor estimated speed based on a position estimated error, which is a difference between a motor position of a motor and the motor estimated position. An observer modifier outputs an observer modification value based on the position estimated error. A nonlinear compensator outputs a compensation torque based on the position estimated error. An operator outputs an operation value based on the observer modification value and the compensation torque. A motor model outputs the motor estimated position and the motor estimated speed based on the operation value. The control section outputs a torque command based on the motor estimated position, the motor estimated speed, and a position command to control the motor. | 10-02-2014 |
