Abstract

An inverter controller is provided. The controller according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure generates a compensation voltage to compensate an inverter command voltage using motor torque current and motor information, and apply the compensation voltage to the command voltage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A controller comprising:
a first generation unit configured to generate a voltage command from a command frequency;
a first conversion unit configured to convert an output current of an inverter to a torque current on synchronous reference frame; and
a second generation unit configured to generate a compensation voltage to compensate the voltage command using the torque current and motor information,
wherein the second generation unit includes:
a fourth generation unit configured to generate a boost voltage according to the motor information and a predetermined voltage gain;
a first multiplication unit configured to generate a compensation voltage by multiplying a K-factor of the torque current by the boost voltage,
a comparison unit configured to compare the torque current with a torque current reference, and
a second multiplication unit configured to multiply an output of the comparison unit and by output of the fourth generation unit, and
wherein the compensation voltage is applied to the first generation unit.

2. The controller of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second conversion unit configured to convert the voltage command to a voltage command on a stationary reference frame;
a modulation unit configured to modulate the voltage command on the stationary reference frame according to a motor rating; and
a third generation unit configured to generate a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal in order to control a plurality of power switching elements of the inverter, according to the modulated voltage command on the stationary reference frame.

3. The controller of claim 1 , further comprising:
an LPF (Low Pass Filter) configured to control harmonic wave ingredient of the torque current.

4. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the comparison unit outputs a value of 1 when the torque current is greater than the torque current reference, and outputs a value of 0 when the torque current is not greater than the torque current reference.

5. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the second generation unit further includes:
a limitation unit configured to limit the compensation voltage below a predetermined voltage.

6. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the motor information includes a slip frequency of the motor and a capacity of the motor.
