The present invention relates to a control system for a motor, and more particularly to a control system for a motor that determines a ripple compensating current.
The output torque of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) (either a surface permanent magnet (SPM) or an interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor) may be determined by a voltage command and a phase advance angle. A specific output torque of the PMSM is determined by first selecting a specific quadrature axis (also referred to as the q-axis) reference current and a direct axis (also referred to as the d-axis) reference current, and then determining the voltage command and the phase advance angle based on the selected quadrature axis reference current and the direct axis reference current.
Interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) are relatively inexpensive, but typically produce a relatively high torque ripple during operation Electric motors utilized in electric power steering (EPS) applications are generally required to produce relatively low torque ripple. Thus, the torque ripple produced by an IPMSM or an SPM may need to be reduced before being used in an EPS application.
In one embodiment, a motor control system is provided. The motor control system includes a motor having plurality of motor harmonics, and a torque ripple compensation controller in communication with the motor. The torque ripple compensation controller is configured to determine a harmonic ripple current for a corresponding one of the plurality of motor harmonics. The harmonic ripple current is based on a reference q-axis current and a reference d-axis current. The torque ripple compensation controller is configured to add the harmonic ripple current for each of the plurality of motor harmonics together to determine the ripple compensating current.
In another embodiment, a method of motor control for a motor having a plurality of motor harmonics is provided. The method includes determining a harmonic ripple current for a corresponding one of the plurality of motor harmonics by a torque ripple compensation controller. The harmonic ripple current is based on a reference q-axis current and a reference d-axis current. The method includes adding the harmonic ripple current for each of the plurality of motor harmonics together to determine the ripple compensating current.
These and other advantages and features will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the Figures, where the invention will be described with reference to specific embodiments, without limiting same,
In the embodiment as shown in
For feedback control purposes, the phase currents ia and ib transmitted to the motor 32 by lines 50 and 52 may be detected to determine the instantaneous current flow to the motor 32. Specifically, a transducer 56 may be used to monitor the phase current ia on the line 50, and a transducer 58 may be used to monitor the phase current ib on the line 52. It should be noted that although transducer 56 and transducer 58 are illustrated, only one of the lines 50 or 52 may be monitored to measure either phase current ia or phase current ib. A control signal 60 representing the measured phase current ia may be sent to the a-axis current amplifier 40 from the transducer 56, and a control signal 62 representing the measured phase current ib may be sent to the b-axis current amplifier 42 from the transducer 58. An augmented or amplified value of the phase current ia is then sent to the a-axis ADC 44 from the a-axis current amplifier 40, and an amplified value of the phase current ib 62 is sent to the b-axis ADC 46 from the b-axis current amplifier 42. The a-axis ADC 44 converts the amplified value of the phase current ia into a digital value 64. The digital value 64 represent the magnitude of the phase current ia. The b-axis ADC 46 converts the amplified value of the phase current ib into a digital value 66. The digital value 66 represents the magnitude of the phase current ib.
The transform controller 38 receives as input the digital value 64 from the ADC 44 and the digital value 66 from the ADC 46. In one embodiment, the transform controller 38 is a three-phase to two-phase transformation controller where measured values for the AC current (e.g., the digital value 64 representing the phase current ia and the digital value 66 representing the phase current ib) are converted into equivalent measured currents, which are a measured d-axis current IdMEASURED and a measured q-axis current IqMEASURED. The measured d-axis current IdMEASURED is sent to a subtractor 70 and the measured q-axis current IqMEASURED is sent to a subtractor 72.
The command current controller 20 receives as input a torque reference command Te, an angular speed ωm, and the control signal 53 representing the bridge voltage Vecu from the transducer 51. The torque reference command Te represents a commanded torque value, and may be derived from another controller (not shown), or may correspond to a torque value generated by an operator. The angular speed ωm is measured by the speed sensor 36. The speed sensor 36 may include, for example, an encoder and a speed calculation circuit for calculating the angular speed of a rotor (not shown) of the motor 32 based on a signal received by the encoder. The command current controller 20 calculates a reference d-axis current Id
The torque ripple compensation controller 48 receives as input the reference d-axis current Id
The adder 69 receives the reference d-axis current Id
The adder 71 receives the reference q-axis current Iq
The d-axis PI controller 22 receives as input the d-axis error signal 74 from the subtractor 70. The d-axis PI controller 22 calculates a d-axis voltage signal VD. The d-axis voltage signal VD is based on a d-axis proportional gain KP, and a d-axis integral gain Ki. Likewise, the q-axis PI controller 23 receives as input the q-axis error signal 76 from the subtractor 72. The q-axis PI controller 23 calculates a q-axis voltage signal VQ. The q-axis voltage signal VQ is based on a q-axis proportional gain KP, and a q-axis integral gain Ki.
The polar conversion controller 24 receives as input the d-axis voltage signal VD from the d-axis PI controller 22 and the q-axis voltage signal VQ from the q-axis PI controller 23. Based on the inputs, the polar conversion controller 24 determines a voltage command Vcmd and a phase advance angle δ. The PWM inverter controller 26 receives as inputs the voltage command Vcmd and the phase advance angle δ from the polar conversion controller 24. The PWM inverter controller 26 also receives the rotor angle value θr measured by the motor position sensor 34. In one exemplary embodiment, the PWM inverter controller 26 may include an over-modulation space vector PWM unit to generate three respective duty cycle values Da, Db, and Dc. The duty cycle values Da, Db, and Dc are used to drive gate drive circuits (not shown) of the inverter 28 that energize phases of the of the motor 32.
Determining the q-axis ripple current Iq
The torque ripple compensation module 80 receives as input the reference d-axis current Id
The torque ripple compensation module 80 may first determine the torque ripple magnitude and the torque ripple phase for each motor harmonic using the compensation look-up tables 84. The compensation look-up tables 84 each contain specific values for either the torque ripple magnitude or the torque ripple phase for a specific motor harmonic. The values for the torque ripple magnitude or the torque ripple phase in each of the compensation look-up tables 84 are based on the reference d-axis current Id
Once the values for the torque ripple magnitude and the torque ripple phase for a specific motor harmonic are found in the compensation look-up tables 84, the torque ripple compensation module 80 may then calculate a current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and a current q-axis phase output 88 for the specific motor harmonic. Alternatively, or in addition to the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88, the torque ripple compensation module 80 may calculate a current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90 and a current d-axis phase output 92 for the specific motor harmonic. In one embodiment, the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 for a specific motor harmonic may be determined by either Equations 1 or 2, the current q-axis phase output 88 for a specific motor harmonic may be determined by Equation 3, the current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90 for a specific motor harmonic may be determined by Equation 4, and the current d-axis phase output 92 for a specific motor harmonic may be determined by Equation 5:
where MtrCurrQax_iMag is the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86, t_MtrTrq_ripple_iMag(n) is the torque ripple magnitude found in one of the compensation look-up tables 84 for an ith harmonic (where i represents a specific harmonic such as, for example, the eighth harmonic), MtrCurrQax_iPhase is the current q-axis phase output 88, t_MtrTrq_ripple_iPh(n) is the torque ripple phase found in one of the compensation look-up tables 84 for the ith harmonic, MtrCurrDax_iMag is the current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90, and MtrCurrDax_iPhase is the current d-axis phase output 92.
The torque ripple compensation module 80 calculates the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88 for each motor harmonic. For example, as seen in
The compensation function module 82 receives as input the values for the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88 for each of the m number of motor harmonics. Alternatively, or in addition to the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88 for each of the m number of motor harmonics, the compensation function module 82 may also receive the current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90 and the current d-axis phase output 92 for each of the m number of motor harmonics. The compensation function module 82 also receives the rotor angle value θr measured by the motor position sensor 34 (shown in
where Ai represents the ith harmonic of the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 or the current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90, and φi represents the ith harmonic of the current q-axis phase output 88 or the current d-axis phase output 92.
The q-axis ripple compensating current Iq
In block 304, the torque ripple compensation module 80 determines the torque ripple magnitude and the torque ripple phase for each motor harmonic using the compensation look-up tables 84 based on the values of the reference d-axis current Id
In block 306, the torque ripple compensation module 80 may then calculate the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88 for each motor harmonic using Equations 1-3. Alternatively, or in addition to the current harmonic q-axis magnitude 86 and the current q-axis phase output 88, the torque ripple compensation module 80 determines the current harmonic d-axis magnitude 90 and the current d-axis phase output 92 for each motor harmonic using Equations 4-5. Method 300 may then proceed to block 308.
In block 308, the compensation function module 82 determines the q-axis ripple compensating current Iq
The torque ripple compensation controller 48 as described above determines the q-axis ripple compensating current Iq
