Description

  The present invention relates to a motor control device that controls driving of a motor by passing a current corresponding to a current command vector to the motor, and more particularly to a motor control device that optimizes torque control.

  A motor control device that controls driving of a synchronous motor having a reverse saliency such as an IPM motor (Interior Permanent Magnet Motor) generates a current command vector for generating a desired torque, and a current corresponding to the current command vector. Is a device that controls driving of the motor by energizing the motor from the power source. The current command vector includes two vectors, a d-axis current component that is the direction of the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet disposed in the rotor and a q-axis current component that is orthogonal to the d-axis, for the current that flows in each phase of the IPM motor. These are converted into components, and the d-axis current component and the q-axis current component are expressed by these combined vectors. In general, the d-axis current component is expressed by a d-axis current command, the q-axis current component is expressed by a q-axis current command, and the direction of the current command vector is a current phase angle that is an angle formed by the vector and the q-axis. Expressed. When the motor is energized, a total torque is generated by combining the magnet torque caused by the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet and the reluctance torque caused by the difference between the d-axis inductance and the q-axis inductance. This total torque varies depending on the direction of the vector (that is, the current phase angle) even if the magnitude of the current command vector (that is, the current value flowing through the motor) is the same.

  As an example of this type of motor control device, Patent Document 1 discloses a current command generation unit that generates a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command indicating a current command vector that can generate a total torque having a value corresponding to the torque command. A motor control device is disclosed that includes an energization control unit that energizes the motor with a current corresponding to the d-axis and q-axis current commands. The current command generation unit calculates a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command indicating a current command vector that can obtain a total torque of a value corresponding to the torque command among a plurality of current command vectors facing the direction indicated by the current phase angle. To do. Specifically, as exemplified in paragraphs 0034 to 0042 of Patent Document 1, since the number of pole bodies, the induced voltage constant, the d-axis inductance, and the q-axis inductance of the motor are known, these known constants and torques are known. It is calculated by a function using the command and the current phase angle as parameters.

  Note that Patent Document 2 discloses an example of a technique for obtaining a current phase angle that maximizes efficiency under the condition that the torque command and the motor rotation speed are respectively certain values.

  However, although conventional motor control devices including those disclosed in the above-mentioned patent documents generate d-axis and q-axis current commands as fixed values in which the d-axis and q-axis inductances are identified in advance, the actual inductance is Since it varies depending on the current value flowing through the motor, an error occurs between the torque generated by the d-axis and q-axis current commands generated based on the fixed value and the desired torque indicated by the torque command, and the accuracy of torque control Will be reduced.

  Moreover, the accuracy reduction of torque control is, for example, a technique for obtaining a current phase angle that maximizes efficiency under the condition that the torque command and the motor rotational speed are each a certain value, as exemplified in Patent Document 2. When applied and configured to generate a current command based on the obtained current phase angle and torque command, an error occurs between the target torque indicated by the torque command and the actual torque actually generated in the motor. This leads to a situation in which the efficiency is lost due to deviating from the maximum efficiency point.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and its purpose is to generate a current command that follows the inductance variation due to the current, and to calculate the error between the desired torque and the actually generated torque. It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor control device that improves the accuracy of torque control by reducing or eliminating it.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  That is, the motor control device of the present invention generates a current command vector for generating a total torque that combines the reluctance torque caused by the d-axis inductance and the q-axis inductance and the magnet torque caused by the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet according to the torque command. A motor control device that controls driving of the motor by energizing the motor with a current corresponding to the current command vector, and inputs a current phase angle indicating the direction of the current command vector and the torque command. Current command for generating a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command indicating a current command vector capable of generating the total torque corresponding to the torque command among a plurality of current command vectors directed in the direction indicated by the current phase angle A current corresponding to the d-axis and q-axis current commands output from the generator and the current command generator. The current command generator pre-sets inductance information in which the d-axis and q-axis inductances that change according to the current value flowing through the motor are associated with the current value. In generating the d-axis and q-axis current commands, the d-axis and q-axis inductances corresponding to the current values that can be considered to have flowed to the motor by the already-output d-axis and q-axis current commands are used. The d-axis and q-axis current commands are configured to be generated.

  According to such a configuration, the d-axis and q-axis inductances associated with the current values that can be considered to have flowed to the motor by the d-axis and q-axis current commands that have already been output, that is, the current will flow to the motor. Since the d-axis and q-axis current commands are generated using the d-axis and q-axis inductances according to the current value, the d-axis and q-axis current commands can be generated following the inductance variation due to the current. As compared with the case where the current command is generated with the inductance as a fixed value, the error between the torque corresponding to the torque command and the actually generated torque can be reduced or eliminated, and the accuracy of torque control can be improved.

  In order to achieve control that follows the above-described inductance variation even with an inexpensive arithmetic unit with low calculation capability, the current command generation unit inputs the torque command and the current phase angle in order to improve control response. A current command value generating unit that generates a current command value indicating a magnitude of a current command vector that can generate the total torque corresponding to the input torque command and that is directed in the direction indicated by the input current phase angle; A d-axis current command generation unit and a q-axis current command generation unit configured to generate the d-axis current command and the q-axis current command, respectively, based on a current command value and the current phase angle; The current command value is calculated using the torque command, the current phase angle, and the current value as input parameters, and the calculated current command value is regarded as a current value that can be regarded as flowing to the motor. When the calculation is repeated with the torque command and the current phase angle fixed while feeding back to the input parameters, the current command value when the calculation result converges or can be regarded as converged is the torque command and the current command value. Current command value data associated with the current phase angle is preset based on actual measurement or magnetic analysis, and the current command value associated with the torque command and the current phase angle is output in the current command value data. It is desirable to be configured as described above.

  In order to easily realize control that follows the above-described inductance variation by simply improving a part of the existing configuration, the current command generation unit inputs the torque command and the current phase angle, and inputs the current phase A current command value generating unit that generates a current command value indicating a magnitude of a current command vector that is capable of generating the total torque corresponding to the torque command that is directed in the direction of the angle, and the generated current command value; A d-axis current command generation unit and a q-axis current command generation unit that generate the d-axis current command and the q-axis current command based on a current phase angle, respectively. A coefficient acquisition unit that acquires a coefficient related to the reluctance torque determined by the inductance of the shaft and the current phase angle, and the coefficient related to the reluctance torque acquired by the coefficient acquisition unit and the torque The reluctance torque is determined under the d-axis and q-axis inductances corresponding to a certain current value. Coefficient information relating the current value and the current phase angle that is the basis for calculating the coefficient to the current value is set in advance based on actual measurement or magnetic analysis, and the current that can be regarded as having flowed to the motor It is preferable that feedback is input to the coefficient acquisition unit as a value, and the coefficient corresponding to the current value and the current phase angle input in feedback in the coefficient information is acquired.

  As a preferred application example for improving the efficiency of the motor control device, a rotation speed detection unit that detects the rotation speed of the motor, and a torque command that corresponds to the rotation speed detected by the rotation speed detection unit. A phase angle determination unit that determines a current phase angle of a current command vector having the maximum efficiency among a plurality of current command vectors capable of generating the total torque, and the current command generation unit includes: The d-axis and q-axis current commands are generated based on the determined current phase angle.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the current value that can be considered to have flowed to the motor by the d-axis and q-axis current commands that have already been output, i. Since the shaft current command is generated, the current command can be generated following the inductance variation due to the current. Compared to the case where the current command is generated with the inductance as a fixed value, the torque corresponding to the torque command is actually generated. The accuracy of torque control can be improved by reducing or eliminating an error from the torque generated in the control. Therefore, the control accuracy of the motor control device can be improved.

  Hereinafter, a motor control device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 5, an IPM motor 1 (Interior Permanent Magnet) which is a control target of this motor control device is a rotating magnetic field by energizing a rotor 11 in which a permanent magnet 11a is embedded and a three-phase alternating current as is well known. This is a magnet-embedded motor that includes a stator 12 that generates φ ′ and has reverse saliency. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the three-phase currents energized to the motor 1 are d-axis current component I _d which is the direction of magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet 11 a and q-axis current component I orthogonal to the d-axis. It is expressed by converting into two current components of _q , and a combined vector of these two current components is expressed as a current command vector Y. The direction of the current command vector Y can be expressed by an angle formed by the vector Y and the q axis, and this angle is hereinafter referred to as a current phase angle β or simply a phase angle β. In this motor 1, as shown in FIG. 7, a total torque obtained by energizing the motor is combined with a magnet torque caused by the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet and a reluctance torque caused by the difference between the d-axis inductance and the q-axis inductance. To do. As shown in the figure, the total torque changes depending on the direction of the vector (that is, the current phase angle) even if the magnitude of the current command vector (that is, the current value flowing through the motor) is the same.

As shown in FIG. 1, the motor control device controls the drive of the motor 1 according to the current command vector Y shown in FIG. 6, and generates a total torque of a value corresponding to the torque command T _ref in the motor 1. A current command generation block 2 that generates a d-axis current command I _d and a q-axis current command I _q indicating current command vectors that can be generated, and a d-axis current command I _d and a q-axis current output from the current command generation block 2 An energization control unit 3 that energizes the motor 1 with a current corresponding to the command _Iq .

Power supply controller 3, a current control unit 30 for generating a three-phase current command uvw based on the d-axis current command I _d and the q-axis current command I _q, depending on the three-phase current command uvw generated by the current control unit 30 And a main circuit unit 31 for energizing the motor 1 from the power source 4.

The current control unit 30 detects the current supplied to the motor 1 from the main circuit unit 31 via the current detection unit 3a, and the detected current corresponds to the d-axis current command _Id and the q-axis current command _Iq. Feedback control is performed so that The main circuit unit 31 supplies the motor 1 with a three-phase current corresponding to the three-phase current command uvw using PWM control. Since each of these parts 30 and 31 is the same as a well-known thing, the detailed description of the structure and operation | movement is abbreviate | omitted.

The current command generation block 2 generates a d-axis current command I _d and a q-axis current command I _q indicating a current command vector for generating a torque corresponding to the torque command T _ref instructed from the outside of the block. In implementing this, the following requirements must be met.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the induced voltage generated by the rotation of the motor 1 increases in proportion to the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet 11 a of the motor 1 and the rotation speed of the motor 1. If the power supply voltage V _bat applied to energize 1 is not higher than the induced voltage of the motor 1, current cannot flow without control, so that it is necessary to suppress the induced voltage from _{exceeding the} power supply voltage V _bat. . In particular, when fluctuations occur in the power supply voltage _Vbat , such as when a battery is applied to the power supply 4, it is necessary to suppress the induced voltage in consideration of fluctuations in the power supply voltage _Vbat . To suppress the induced voltage, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), to offset some of the magnetic flux phi _MG caused by the permanent magnet flux phi _d caused by the d-axis current component I _d of the current command vector Y One effective means is a flux weakening control that suppresses the induced voltage by reducing the magnetic flux after cancellation (φ _MG −φ _d ) more than the magnetic flux φ _MG before cancellation. In this weak magnetic flux control, when the phase angle indicating the direction of the current command vector Y is changed from β to β ′, for example, as shown in FIG. d-axis current component is a current component by utilizing the change in I _d → I _'d (increased in this example), controls the phase angle to ensure suppression current component sufficient to suppress the induced voltage There is a need.

  Further, in addition to the above request, it is desired to generate a current command vector so that efficiency is maximized. In order to pursue high efficiency, the maximum torque control using the phase angle β that maximizes the total torque shown in FIG. 7 is considered as one effective means (see Patent Document 1). However, even if the copper loss is minimized by this maximum torque control, the efficiency is not maximized, and it has been found that mechanical loss, FET loss, etc. must be taken into consideration, including iron loss that is difficult to estimate. In order to pursue truly high efficiency, it is necessary to consider the efficiency of the entire system including all these losses.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to generate a current command vector that achieves both generation of a desired torque and securing of a suppression current component sufficient to suppress the induced voltage so as not to exceed the fluctuating power supply voltage, FIG. as shown schematically (a), the driving motor generates a current command vector Y ₁ to generate the desired torque T ₁ under a certain rotational speed N ₁ using a real machine, the current command vector the induced voltages V ₁ after being suppressed by suppressing the current component corresponding to the direction of the current command vector Y ₁ during driving by Y ₁ measured from the detected values, such as a power meter to (estimated). Here, there are a large number of current command vectors for generating a desired torque T ₁ under a certain rotation speed N ₁ , as shown by the curve W in FIG. 8A, but here the description is simplified. For the sake of illustration only a part is shown. Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, this measurement is performed by changing the direction (phase angle β) of the current command vector while maintaining the rotation speed N ₁ and the torque T ₁ , and a plurality of current commands having different directions. The induced voltage is measured for each vector, and induced voltage information that associates the information about the rotational speed, torque, and current command vector with the induced voltage after suppression is set in advance based on the actually measured value. This induced voltage information Da1 is shown in FIG. Store in memory as shown. This actual measurement is performed in a state where the rotation speed, torque, induced voltage, and power supply voltage can be regarded as a steady state or a steady state. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a plurality of current command vectors Y ₁ ... Y ₂ ... Y ₃ ... Y ₄ for generating a certain torque T ₁ under a certain rotational speed N ₁ are the phase angle _{β 1 ... β 2 ... β 3} ... β 4 representing the orientation of each vector, the induced voltage measured when the motor of the drive by each of the current command vector _{V 1 ... V 2 ... V 3} ... V 4 It is. In this case, the simplified information on the current command vector as phase angle, the induced voltage information Da1 shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotational speed and the torque T ₁ N ₁ and phase angle beta _i and the induced voltage V It is shown by a table or the like associated with _i . (I is not less than 1 and not more than the number of actually measured vectors.)

Then, if the drive control of the motor is performed using the current command vector Y ₁ or the like in the induced voltage information shown in FIG. 8, the induced voltage that will be generated in the motor is suppressed in association with the current command vector Y ₁ or the like. is suppressed to a value such as the induced voltages V ₁ after. Utilizing this fact, as shown in FIG. 1, a rotational speed detection unit 6 using a resolver or the like for detecting the rotational speed N _ref of the motor 1 and a power supply voltage V _bat that can be applied to the motor 1 from the power supply 4 are obtained. And a voltage detection unit 7 for detection, which is suppressed from among a plurality of current command vectors associated with the rotational speed N _ref and the torque command T _ref detected by the rotational speed detection unit 6 in the induced voltage information Da1 shown in FIG. A first current command vector determination unit 2a is provided that determines a current command vector that suppresses the induced voltage after that in a direction that makes the induced voltage smaller than the power supply voltage _Vbat detected by the voltage detection unit 7.

Furthermore, in order to generate a current command vector efficiency becomes maximum, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), similarly to the case of setting the induced voltage information Da1, a certain rotational speed N ₁ by using an actual A motor is driven by generating a current command vector Y ₁ for generating a desired torque T ₁ below, and an efficiency e ₁ at the time of driving by the current command vector Y ₁ is measured with a power meter or the like. As shown in FIG. 8A, this measurement is performed for each of a plurality of current command vectors having different directions by changing the direction (phase angle β) of the current command vector while maintaining the rotation speed N ₁ and the torque T _1. The efficiency information relating the current command vector that maximizes the efficiency among the measured values is set in advance based on the actually measured values, and the efficiency information Da2 is shown in FIG. To store in memory. This actual measurement is performed in a state where the rotation speed, torque, induced voltage, and power supply voltage can be regarded as a steady state or a steady state. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a plurality of current command vectors Y ₁ ... Y ₂ ... Y ₃ ... Y ₄ for generating a certain torque T ₁ under a certain rotational speed N ₁ are are each phase angle _{β 1 ... β 2 ... β 3} ... β 4 representing the direction of the vector, the efficiency was measured when the motor of the drive by each of the current command vector is _{e 1 ... e 2 ... e 3} ... e 4 . As shown in FIG. 8B, the current command vector that maximizes the efficiency approximating the measured value is Y ₂ (hereinafter also referred to as Y _max ), and its phase angle is β ₂ (hereinafter also referred to as β _max). Express). In this case, the simplified information on the current command vector as phase angle, efficiency information Da2 shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 8, a table correlating the number of revolutions N ₁ and phase angle beta _max torque T ₁ Etc.

Then, if the drive control of the motor is performed using the current command vector Y _max in the efficiency information shown in FIG. 8, the entire system including the iron loss that is difficult to estimate, the copper loss, the mechanical loss, the FET loss, etc. Efficiency is maximized. By utilizing this fact, as shown in FIG. 2, the second current command for determining the current command vector associated with the rotational speed N _ref and the torque command T _ref detected by the rotational speed detection unit 6 in the efficiency information Da2. A vector determination unit 2b is provided.

The specific configuration of the current command generation block 2 that implements the first and second current command vector determination units 2a and 2b is to suppress the induced voltage from exceeding the power supply voltage as shown in FIG. A power supply voltage phase angle calculation block 21 that determines the phase angle β _v that indicates the direction of the current command vector, and an efficiency current phase angle calculation block 22 that determines the phase angle β _max that indicates the direction of the current command vector that maximizes the efficiency. A selection unit 23 that selects the direction of the vector having the larger suppression current component out of the vector directions β _v and β _max determined by both the blocks 21 and 22, and the vector direction selected by the selection unit 23 A d-axis current command I _d indicating a current command vector and a q-axis current command I _q based on the torque command T _ref ;

As shown in FIG. 2, the power supply voltage phase angle calculation block 21 constitutes the first current command vector determination unit 2a, and stores the induced voltage information Da1 in an internal memory in advance. The torque command T _ref instructed from the outside, the rotational speed N _ref detected by the rotational speed detector 6 in FIG. 1, and the power supply voltage V _bat detected by the voltage detector 7 in FIG. 1 are input, and induced voltage information Da1. The power supply voltage compensation phase angle β _v indicating the direction of the current command vector associated with the input value among the information on the plurality of current command vectors in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), to suppress the current command vector an induced voltage in a direction to be smaller than the power supply voltage V _bat in the induced voltage information, for example there are a plurality, such as Y ₃ and Y _4, these among suppression current component is configured to determine a current command vector Y ₃ which becomes minimum. This input / output relationship is briefly shown below.
Power supply voltage compensation phase angle β _v = f _βv (torque T _ref , rotation speed N _ref , power supply voltage V _bat )

As shown in FIG. 2, the efficiency current phase angle calculation block 22 constitutes the second current command vector determination unit 2b, stores the efficiency information Da2 in the internal memory in advance, enter the rotational speed N _ref detected by the rotation speed detector 6 of the torque command T _ref and FIG instructed from among the information related to the plurality of current command vector in efficiency information Da2, associated with the input value The efficiency current phase angle β _base indicating the direction of the current command vector is output. This input / output relationship is briefly shown below.
Efficiency current phase angle β _base = f _βbase (torque T _ref , rotation speed N _ref )

As shown in FIG. 6, the selection unit 23 in FIG. 2 is such that the phase angle β indicating the direction of the current command vector is an angle between the current command vector and the q axis, and the phase angle β is large in the range of 0 to 90 degrees. By using the fact that the suppression current component increases, the power supply voltage compensation phase angle β _v determined by the power supply voltage phase angle calculation block 21 shown in FIG. 2 and the efficiency current determined by the efficiency current phase angle calculation block 22 are shown. The phase angle β _base is compared and the larger one (the one with the larger suppression current component) is selected, and the selected phase angle is input to the current command generation unit 24 as the current phase command β _ref . That is, the blocks 21 and 22 and the selection unit 23 have the maximum efficiency among a plurality of current command vectors that can generate torque corresponding to the torque command under the motor rotation speed within a range where the induced voltage does not exceed the power supply voltage. It can be said that the phase angle determination unit 2X that determines the current phase angle of the current command vector is realized.

As shown in FIG. 2, the current command generator 24 is a current command vector that is capable of generating a total torque corresponding to the torque command T _ref with the direction of the vector indicated by the current phase command β _ref input from the selector 23. D-axis current command I _d and q-axis current command I _q are calculated based on equations (5) to (7) obtained by modifying the following basic equations (1) to (4). Here, the number of pole pairs of P _n, the [psi _a and the armature flux linkage effective value [Wb], and K _e is an induced voltage constant, the L _d is d-axis inductance [H], q-axis inductance L _q [H], I _d is a d-axis current [Arms], I _q is a q-axis current [Arms], and I _a is a current command effective value [Arms] on the dq axis.

B = Ψ _a P _n · cos (β) (6)
I _a = {− B + √ (B ² + 4 × A × T)} / (2 × A) (7)

The operation of the motor control device configured as described above will be described. In a state where the motor 1 is rotating at a high speed at a certain rotation speed N ₁ and outputting a certain torque T ₁ , the power supply voltage is sufficiently high, and the power supply voltage is low due to deterioration over time, etc. The current command vectors determined by the current command vector determination units 2a and 2b are shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). Here, for simplification, only a part of a plurality of current command vectors is shown, and a range in which the induced voltage is suppressed to be smaller than the power supply voltage is indicated by hatching.

When the power supply voltage V _bat is sufficiently high, as shown in FIG. 9A, the efficiency current phase angle calculation block 22 in FIG. 2 has a current command vector with the highest efficiency Y _max (phase angle β _max ). Determine that there is. Further, the power supply voltage phase angle calculation block 21 in FIG. 2 has current command vectors Y ₁ , Y _max (Y ₂ ), for suppressing the induced voltage to be generated in a direction smaller than the power supply voltage V _bat . Y ₃ and Y ₄ , and it is determined that the current command vector having the smallest suppression current component (the phase angle β becomes small) is Y ₁ (the phase angle β ₁ ). Then, the selecting section 23 2, because the direction of efficiency current phase angle beta _max is greater than the power supply voltage compensation phase angle beta _1, selects an efficient current phase angle beta _max, the current command corresponding to the beta _max vector The driving of the motor is controlled by Y _max .

On the other hand, when the power supply voltage V _bat is low, as shown in FIG. 9B, the efficiency current phase angle calculation block 22 of FIG. 2 has the current command vector with the highest efficiency Y _max (phase angle β _max ). Determine that there is. The power supply voltage phase angle calculation block 21 in FIG. 2 has current command vectors Y ₃ and Y ₄ for suppressing the induced voltage that will be generated in a direction smaller than the power supply voltage V _bat . It is determined that the current command vector having the smallest suppression current component (the phase angle β becomes small) is Y ₃ (the phase angle β ₃ ). Then, the selector 23 Figure 2, since the upper power supply voltage compensation phase angle beta ₃ is greater than the efficiency current phase angle beta _max, current command selecting the power supply voltage compensation phase angle beta _3, corresponding to the beta ₃ It will control the driving of the motor by vector Y _3.

In this way, the motor rotation speed (or speed) and the power supply voltage are detected, and a plurality of current command vectors Y ₁ ... Y _max (Y ₂ ) that can generate torque corresponding to the torque command under the detected rotation speed. ... Y ₃ ... Y ₄ ... Among the current command vector Y _max maximizing the efficiency and the current command vector for suppressing the induced voltage to be smaller than the detected power supply voltage. within suppress when efficiency (hatched portion in FIG. 9) is a current command vector Y _max which maximizes performs control efficiency is maximized by using the current command vector Y _max, suppress the induced voltage When there is no current command vector Y _max that maximizes the efficiency within the range (shaded area in FIG. 9), control for appropriately suppressing the induced voltage is performed.

However, in the above configuration, when the d-axis current command I _d and the q-axis current command I _q are generated with the d-axis inductance L _d and the q-axis inductance L _q as fixed values identified in advance, the actual inductance is Since it varies depending on the current value flowing through the motor, an error occurs between the torque generated by the d-axis current command I _d and the q-axis current command I _q generated based on the fixed value, and the torque indicated by the torque command. The accuracy of control is reduced. Further, the reduction in accuracy of the torque control leads to a situation in which efficiency is impaired by deviating from the maximum efficiency point shown in FIG. 8B in the predetermined efficiency information Da2.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the d-axis and q-axis inductances (L _d , L _q ) that change according to the value of the current flowing through the motor. the advance set the inductance information Da3 associating the current value I _a, the current command of the d-axis and q-axis (I _{d, I q)} in generating the already current command d-axis and q-axis output ( The d-axis and q-axis current commands (I _d , I _q ) using the d-axis and q-axis inductances (L _d , L _q ) corresponding to the current value I _a that can be regarded as flowing to the motor by I _d , I _q ). ) Is configured to generate a current command.
