Instantaneous power floating frame controller
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a power converter of a synchronous machine drive system, said method comprising:
- sampling phase-current values between said power converter and a synchronous machine;
selecting a reference frame;
regulating a current vector to align with the reference frame, said selected reference frame having a direct-axis component and a quadrature-axis component;
estimating rotor speed and position as a function of instantaneous power;
adjusting said selected reference frame, based on estimated rotor position, to synchronize said selected reference frame with a magnetic axis of said rotor, thereby generating a synchronized floating frame; and
applying said synchronized floating frame to control said power converter.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of controlling a power converter (20) of a synchronous machine system (10), the method comprising sampling phase-current values between the power converter (20) and the synchronous machine (30); selecting a reference frame; regulating a current vector to align with the selected reference frame, the selected reference frame having a direct-axis component and a quadrature-axis component; estimating rotor speed and position as a function of instantaneous power; adjusting the selected reference frame, based on estimated rotor position, to synchronize the selected reference frame with a magnetic axis of the rotor, thereby generating a synchronized floating frame; and applying the synchronized floating frame to control the power converter (20). The present invention also related to a power converter controlling apparatus (100) for controlling a power converter (20) of a synchronous machine system (10) without use of a machine position sensor.
