Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A closed loop flux weakening method and apparatus are provided. The closed loop flux weakening apparatus may include a difference circuit that obtains a difference between a q-axis reference voltage and a q-axis voltage, a controller that converts the difference between the q-axis reference voltage and the q-axis voltage into a d-axis current of a stator of the motor, and a summation circuit that obtains a d-axis reference current by adding the d-axis current of the stator of the motor and a feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for generating a d-axis reference current used for controlling a motor, the apparatus comprising: a difference circuit that obtains a difference between a q-axis reference voltage and a q-axis voltage; a controller that converts the difference between the q-axis reference voltage and the q-axis voltage into a corrective d-axis current of a stator of the motor; and a summation circuit that obtains the d-axis reference current by adding the corrective d-axis current of the stator of the motor and a feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor; wherein the q-axis reference voltage, V qref , is determined based on the following equation: V qref =√{square root over (V max 2 −V d 2 )}; wherein V max 2 is the square of a maximum voltage that can be applied to the motor; and wherein V d 2 is the square of a d-axis voltage of the motor; and wherein the d-axis reference current is used to control the motor. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor, I ds _ feedfw , is determined based on the following equation: I ds_feedfw = V q ⁢ ⁢ ref - ( r s × i q ⁢ ⁢ ref + L qs × di q ⁢ ⁢ ref dt + E ) ω × L ds wherein, r s is a stator resistance of the motor; wherein, i q ref is a q-axis reference current; wherein, L qs is a q-axis inductance of the stator of the motor; wherein, di q ⁢ ⁢ ref dt is a derivative of the q-axis reference current with respect to time; wherein, E is the back electromotive force of the motor; wherein, ω is the electrical speed of the motor; and wherein, L ds is the d-axis inductance of the stator of the motor. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the difference circuit receives the q-axis reference voltage at a positive input of the difference circuit and receives the q-axis voltage at a negative input of the difference circuit. 4. An apparatus for generating a d-axis reference current used for controlling a motor, the apparatus comprising: a difference circuit that obtains a difference between a q-axis reference voltage and a q-axis voltage; a controller that converts the difference between the q-axis reference voltage and the q-axis voltage into a corrective q-axis voltage of a stator of the motor; a gate that converts the corrective q-axis voltage of the stator of the motor into a d-axis current of a stator of the motor; and a summation circuit that obtains the reference current by adding the d-axis current of the stator of the motor and a feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor; wherein the q-axis reference voltage, V qref , is determined based on the following equation: V qref =√{square root over (V max 2 −V d 2 )}; wherein V max 2 is the square of a maximum voltage of the motor; wherein V d 2 is the square of a d-axis voltage of the motor; and wherein the d-axis reference current is used to control the motor. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor, I ds _ feedfw , is determined based on the following equation: I ds_feedfw = V q ⁢ ⁢ ref - ( r s × i q ⁢ ⁢ ref + L qs × di q ⁢ ⁢ ref dt + E ) ω × L ds wherein, r s is a stator resistance of the motor; wherein, i q ref is a q-axis reference current; wherein, L qs is a q-axis inductance of the stator of the mo
