Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor generator control system includes: a motor generator; a drive current control unit configured to perform feedback control so that a driving force at a time of power running or the driving force at a time of regeneration of the motor generator is a target driving force; a current coordinate control unit configured to output a d-axis current value and a q-axis current value to the drive current control unit; and a strong field control unit configured to perform strong field control of setting a field to be stronger than a field strength at which a maximum efficiency is obtained. When the strong field control is performed during the regeneration, the motor generator control system executes current consumption control of performing the feedback control by changing the d-axis current value and the q-axis current value so that the driving force is smaller than the target driving force.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A motor generator control system comprising: a motor generator configured to perform power running using electric power from a capacitor, and to regenerate by a driving force input from a drive wheel to charge the capacitor; a drive current control unit configured to perform feedback control based on a drive current of the motor generator so that the driving force at a time of power running or the driving force at a time of regeneration of the motor generator is a target driving force; a current coordinate control unit configured to calculate a d-axis current value and a q-axis current value based on the drive current of the motor generator and output the d-axis current value and the q-axis current value to the drive current control unit; and a strong field control unit configured to perform strong field control of setting a field to be stronger than a field strength at which a maximum efficiency is obtained on a constant driving force line of the motor generator, wherein when the strong field control is performed during the regeneration, the motor generator control system executes current consumption control of performing the feedback control by changing the d-axis current value and the q-axis current value so that the driving force is smaller than the target driving force. 2. The motor generator control system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a resolver configured to detect a rotor rotation angle of the motor generator; and a resolver phase change unit configured to change a value of the rotor rotation angle and output the value to the current coordinate control unit, wherein in the current consumption control, the resolver phase change unit changes the value of the rotor rotation angle to a value at which the driving force is smaller than the target driving force, and outputs the value to the current coordinate control unit. 3. The motor generator control system according to claim 2 , wherein the current consumption control is executed in a range in which a difference between the target driving force and an actual driving force generated by a difference in a detection angle of the resolver with respect to a reference point of the rotor rotation angle is smaller than a predetermined value. 4. The motor generator control system according to claim 3 , wherein the strong field control and the change of the detection angle are executed in a positive region on a d axis. 5. A hybrid vehicle comprising: an internal combustion engine; a capacitor; a first motor generator configured to generate electric power by power of the internal combustion engine; a second motor generator configured to be driven by electric power from the capacitor or the first motor generator; and the motor generator control system according to claim 1 , wherein: the motor generator of the motor generator control system is the second motor generator; at a time of regeneration in the second motor generator, the hybrid vehicle performs power running by regenerative electric power of the second motor generator, with the first motor generator as an electric motor, and executes the current consumption control for the second motor generator; and at a time of power running of the first motor generator, the hybrid vehicle takes the internal combustion engine as a load of the first motor generator, changes the d-axis current value and the q-axis current value of the first motor generator so that the driving force is smaller than the target driving force, and performs the feedback control based on a drive current of the first motor generator so that the driving force at a time of power running of the first motor generator is the target driving force.
