Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and system for multiphase current sensing and more particularly to a method and system adaptable for e.g. inverters for motor drives, photovoltaic inverters and uninterruptible power supplies.
- Hybrid vehicles require accurate control of the electric motor in order to achieve maximal fuel savings while ensuring good driveability and safety.
- the most prevalent control method for advanced traction motors is “field oriented control” (FOC).
- FOC field oriented control
- the three-phase current wave-forms and voltage wave-forms (fixed frame) are transformed into a two-axis dq-frame which is rotating at the frequency ⁇ s of the electrical waveforms (synchronous frame).
- a.c. waveforms result in d.c. vectors (also called space vectors).
- space vectors also called space vectors.
- the advantage of this approach is that it is much easier to control d.c. quantities than a.c. quantities.
- the implementation of a digital current regulator is therefore relatively straightforward and can be very robust and dynamic.
- a field-oriented motor drive has a three-phase inverter connected on the d.c. side to an energy storage device (such as a battery) and on the a.c. side to an electric motor.
- the six switches e.g. IGBTs or MOSFETs
- PWM pulse-width modulation
- the inputs to the synchronous frame regulator method include the following:
- Id*, Iq* Direct and quadrature current setpoints (calculated by the higher level motor control algorithms)
- ⁇ r Rotor flux angle (determined by a rotor flux estimator).
- the flux in the core is solely induced by the current carrying conductor and the output of the Hall sensor is used directly as the current measurement. Due to gain tolerances of the Hall sensor, tolerances on core material properties, and variations in the mechanical positioning of the sensor in the airgap, open-loop sensors are not very accurate (typically within 5-10% of rated output).
- Closed-loop Hall sensors achieve a significant improvement in accuracy by using a compensation-coil wound on the sensor core and supplied such as to cancel the flux in the core.
- the Hall sensor acts as a feedback for the flux-canceling loop and is not directly used as a current measurement. Instead, the current in the compensating winding serves as the measurement output and is typically converted into a voltage by means of a resistive shunt.
- Closed-loop sensors can achieve accuracies that are better than 1%. While closed-loop sensors offer advantages in terms of accuracy, they also have some significant drawbacks. First and most importantly, their power-consumption is proportional to the measured current and can be quite large (several watts).
- open-loop sensors can operate from a single supply as low as 5V and consume fractions of one watt of power. This difference is important, because power-supply requirements have a significant impact on the overall cost of the inverter. Closed-loop sensors also tend to be larger and more expensive than open-loop sensors. Those drawbacks are particularly penalizing for larger inverters, with output current exceeding 200-300 amps. Since traction inverters are very cost sensitive, using closed-loop sensors in such applications is often not a viable option, and open-loop sensors are used instead. However, if the gain-error of the sensors is not compensated for, the performance of the drive will suffer. Besides torque linearity problems, gain-errors can also cause torque ripple and drive-train oscillations.
- the injected carrier needs to be at a frequency that is substantially higher than the fundamental frequency of the currents; this increases the bandwidth requirements of the current sensors and therefore their cost, especially for high-speed or high-pole motors.
- the injected high-frequency carrier can result in emissions that interfere with other circuits or devices in the system. Operation can be affected by saliencies or imbalances in the electric motor; drivetrain oscillations; and noise on the current measurements. It is also computationally intensive, requiring an additional sine/cosine calculation for the negative sequence measurement as well as higher-order filters to extract the carrier signal.
- the absolute accuracy of the approach depends on the “theoretical unit vector” input, which needs to be model-based and therefore is vulnerable to variations and tolerances of the electric motor. It needs to be tuned and verified for a given electric motor type.
- the invention results from the realization that a truly improved system and method for multiphase circuit sensing particularly suited for inverters, especially those used in motor control can be achieved simply, less expensively and using less power by sensing a.c. and/or d.c. currents in first and second phases over all frequencies; sensing a.c. current in a predetermined a.c. frequency range in a third phase; and combining the current sensed in the first and third phases and the second and third phases and determining a gain correction factor to be applied to the currents sensed in the first and second phases.
- This invention features a multiphase current sensing system having at least three phases wherein the sum of the phase currents is zero including first and second sensors responsive to a.c. and d.c. currents for sensing the current in the first and second phases, respectively; a third current transformer sensor responsive to a.c. current in a predetermined frequency range for sensing the current in the third phase; and an adaptive gain adjustment circuit for combining the current sensed by the first and third sensors and the current sensed by the second and the third sensors to determine a gain correction factor to be applied to the currents sensed by the first and second sensors, respectively.
- the adaptive gain adjustment circuit may include a memory device for storing the gain correction factors during periods when the a.c. frequency is without the predetermined range.
- the adaptive gain adjustment circuit may include a first amplitude detector responsive to the currents sensed by the first and third sensors to provide a first average amplitude and a second amplitude detector responsive to the currents sensed by the second and third sensors to provide a second average amplitude.

- the amplitude detector may include a transformer circuit for transforming the sensed currents from the fixed frame to a synchronous frame coordinate system, an arithmetic circuit responsive to the synchronous frame currents to provide an amplitude value, and a filter circuit responsive to the amplitude value to provide the average amplitude.

Each regulator may include a summing circuit for determining the error value between the amplitude reference and the respective ones of the average amplitudes, a proportional-integral controller, and a switching circuit for selectively applying the error value to the proportional-integral controller within the predetermined range.

- FIG. 1 a motor control 10 for a three phase motor 12 .
- Motor control 10 uses an energy storage device such as battery 14 , to power a switching circuit 16 through a smoothing capacitor 18 .
- Switching circuit 16 may include six switches 20 , 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 and 30 which may for example be insulated-gate bipolar transistors, (IGBTs), MOSFETs or any similar suitable devices.
- Switches 20 - 30 are opened and closed at times and for periods of times determined under control of pulse width modulator (PWM) 32 to provide multiphase currents, in this case, three phases u, v and w on lines 34 , 36 , and 38 to motor 12 which is a three phase motor.
- PWM pulse width modulator
- Synchronous frame regulator 44 includes a current regulator circuit 46 , a synchronous frame to fixed frame transformer 48 and a fixed frame to synchronous frame transformer 50 .
- a pair of sensors such as Hall sensors 52 and 54 are used on lines 34 and 36 to measure the current in phases u and v.
- These currents are combined using an algebraic summer 56 which combines Iu and Iv in accordance with Kirchoff's law to provide the current in phase w designated Iw′ on line 58 .
- the actual currents measured by sensors 52 and 54 are delivered on lines 60 and 62 Iu, Iv.
- the two sensed currents Iu, Iv and the third calculated current Iw′ are delivered to fixed frame to synchronous frame transformer 50 . These values are transformed using the rotor position or rotor flux angle, ⁇ r, on line 64 to produce the sync frame currents Id and Iq on lines 66 and 68 . These are delivered to current regulator 46 which combines them with the synchronous frame current set points Id*, Iq* on lines 40 and 42 to provide voltage signals Vd and Vq to transformer 48 which converts these synchronous signals to fixed frame signals to drive pulse width modulator 32 .
- the shortcomings of such conventional systems when using inaccurate current sensors is explained supra in the “Background of Invention”.
- the multi-phase current sensing system does not compromise motor control 10 a, FIG. 2 , but adds an adaptive gain adjustment circuit 70 and two combining circuits such as multipliers 72 and 74 and a third very accurate current transformer sensor 76 which is highly accurate but at a.c. frequency ranges.
- the predetermined range in which it operates may be defined as R to infinity or it can be R 1 to R 2 where R 1 is for example approximately 40 Hz and R 2 is approximately 400 Hz.
- Sensors 52 a and 54 a as before may be Hall effect sensors and particularly may be the less expensive but also less accurate open loop Hall effect sensors 52 a, 54 a.
- adaptive gain adjustment circuit 70 receives all three of the measured outputs Iu from sensor 52 a, Iv from sensor 54 a, and Iw from current transformer sensor 76 .
- Adaptive gain adjustment circuit 70 also receives the synchronous frame current set points Id*, Iq* from lines 40 and 42 and the rotor position ⁇ r on line 64 .
- adaptive gain adjustment circuit combines the motor set point synchronous frame currents Id*, Iq* and the actual sense currents Iu, Iv, and Iw to determine correction factors cu, cv on lines 80 and 82 to account for any gain errors in sensors 52 a and 54 a.
- These gain correction factors cu, cv on lines 80 and 82 are delivered to multipliers 72 and 74 so that when the gain correction factors cu, cv are combined with the gain errors gu, gv from sensors 52 a and 54 a a much more accurate current value is produced.
- Adaptive gain adjustment circuit 70 only calculates the gain error factors cu, cv when the frequency ⁇ s on line 70 a is within the predetermined range for current transformer 76 . During periods when it is not able to use current transformer sensor 76 to determine the gain errors, the last determined gain errors are continued to be applied. This would occur if the entire system were turned off as well. That is, the last determined gain error factor cu, cv would be stored in a non-volatile memory so that when the system is once again restarted those error correction values would be present and ready to be applied to gain errors gu, gv through multipliers 72 and 74 . This allows the system of this invention to accommodate for errors in real time under actual and changing operating conditions in order to avoid the problems attendant on factory or other calibration techniques.
- FIG. 3 shows the actual phase currents that are produced when attempting to control a peak amplitude of, for example, 200 amps with sensor gain errors.
- the current in phase w is shown at 94 ; these are the actual phase currents produced when attempting to control motor 12 where the sensors 52 a, 54 a have gain errors of 0.8 and 1.2.
- the actual 200 amp levels +96 and ⁇ 98 are also shown in FIG. 3 .
- the errors on phases u and v not only produce amplitude errors on those phases as shown in FIG. 3 , but they also produce an amplitude error and a phase shift error on phase w as shown in FIG. 4 , where the amplitude and phase difference between the actual current 100 and the desired current 102 are shown.
- the real d-q currents as they are being seen by the plant or the load, e.g. motor 12 , FIG. 5 show a large oscillation on both quantities, Iq and Id, which correspond to negative sequence currents. Those currents reduce the efficiency of the drive, influence torque accuracy and can cause drive train oscillations. While the motor actually sees the oscillation shown in FIG. 5 , the inverter perceives the Id and Iq currents as depicted in, FIG. 6 , with very little oscillation.
- the inverter now sees the true oscillating nature of Id and Iq as suggested in FIG. 5 .
- the calculation of the amplitude vector for u and v is the same.
- the amplitude or vector length for u is calculated using the current measured by the u and w sensors, namely Hall sensor 54 a, and current transformer sensor 76 . That is, the average amplitude for current u, Au, is equal to the square root from the sum of squares of Id measured plus Iq measured and this average amplitude Au is shown in FIG. 8 , at 110 .
- the invention uses the difference between the mean of the measured current amplitude Au using sensors 52 a and 76 in phases u and w and the commanded current amplitude A* as the feedback quantity to adjust the measurement gain of sensor u. Similarly if the Id and Iq currents are measured using sensors 54 a and 76 in phases v and w the difference between the measured current amplitude Av and the commanded current amplitude A* is used to adjust the gain of sensor v.
- a first amplitude detector 112 which is responsive to Iu and Iw to calculate the average amplitude for phase u and a second amplitude detector 114 which uses Iv and Iw to calculate the average amplitude for phase v.
- a third channel 116 which includes an arithmetic circuit 118 which combines set points Id* Iq* by calculating the square root of the sum of the squares to produce the amplitude reference A*.
- Each of amplitude detectors 112 and 114 includes an algebraic summer 120 , 122 , a fixed frame to synchronous frame transformer 124 , 126 , an arithmetic circuit 128 , 130 , for calculating the square root of the sum of the squares and filters 132 and 134 all respectively.
- detector 112 receives current Iu directly at transformer 124 .
- Iu is combined with Iw in algebraic summer 120 to provide Iv′ to transformer 124 and Iw is provided directly to transformer 124 which then provides the synchronous frame output to arithmetic circuit 128 that provides an amplitude value to filter 132 which filters it to provide the average amplitude for phase u at 136 .
- Iw and Iv are processed by algebraic summer 122 to provide Iu′, Iv and Iw to transformer 126 which then provides the synchronous frame output to arithmetic circuit 130 which in turn provides the amplitude to filter 134 resulting in the average amplitude for phase v at 138 .
- Adaptive gain adjustment circuit 70 a also includes a closed loop gain adjustment circuit 140 .
- Algebraic summing circuit 142 responds to average amplitude Au and amplitude reference A* to provide and error signal which will be supplied to a proportional-integral controller 144 if switch 145 is closed to contact 148 which occurs when the electrical frequency ⁇ s is within a predetermined range in which current transformer 76 is considered sufficiently accurate and reliable.
- algebraic summer 150 responds to average amplitude Av and the reference amplitude A* to provide an output to proportional-integral controller 152 when switch 154 is closed on contract 156 , which occurs when ⁇ s is within the predetermined range in which current transformer 76 is considered sufficiently accurate and reliable.
- Proportional-integral controller 144 and 152 not only act as regulators, but also act as a memory, a non-volatile memory, which acts to preserve the integrated error signal received through switches 146 and 154 when the system is off or when the frequency is outside of the range in which current transformer sensor 76 is deemed reliable.
- a diagnostic circuit 161 including output limiters 162 , 164 may be used to keep the output of the regulators within reasonable bounds, for example, within plus or minus ten per cent. If they are outside of that range, this can be taken as an indication of a failure and a failure flag may be set.
- an anti-wind-up path is shown for each proportional-integral controller 144 , 152 including an algebraic summer 166 , 168 which feeds back the difference between the input and the output of the limiter 162 , 164 in each case to the proportional integral controller 144 and 152 .
- Switches 146 and 154 illustrate how the regulator is disabled at frequencies of the phase currents which are too low for the current transformer sensor 76 to produce accurate measurements. However, this is not a necessary limitation of the invention, there might be an upper frequency limit in certain applications beyond which the tuning algorithm is disabled.
- Iq and Id here show the oscillations as previously explained at 170 and 172 but following time zero when the invention is enabled the oscillations are quickly damped 170 ′, 172 ′.
- the illustration in FIG. 11 also shows how robust the invention is with respect to current steps, for at current step 174 of Iq from 100 to 200 amps only a small departure 176 is noted before the system once again settles.
- the invention is not limited to the system as shown in FIGS. 2 , 9 and 10 , as other apparatus could be used and the invention is not limited to apparatus but also embraces the method as shown and explained with additional detail in FIG. 13 .
- Iu, Iv and Iw would be measured 200 , FIG. 13 , then the corrective gains cu, cv, if any, would be applied to Iu and Iv 202 .
- the system would then seek first to see whether the frequency is within the predetermined range as indicated at 204 . If it is, then a calibration mode is entered. Iu/Iw is transformed from the fixed frame to the synchronous frame resulting in Id u and Iq u 206 .
- the amplitude Au is determined from the square root of the squares of Id u 2 and Iq u 2 after which the amplitude is filtered 210 . Then Iv/Iw is transformed 212 into the synchronous frame from the fixed frame resulting in Id v and Iq v . The amplitude Av is determined 214 from the square root of the sum of the squares Id v 2 +Iq v 2 . The amplitude is filtered or averaged at 216 . A determination is made of the reference amplitude A* 218 from the square root from the sum of the squares of Id* 2 and Iq* 2 .
- the output of the proportional-integral controllers PIu and PIv are subject to limiting 224 , 226 and provide the gain correction values cu and cv.
- a diagnostic routine can be implemented according to this invention as shown in FIG. 14 , which receives at its input gain factors cu and cv. Inquiry is made at 228 first as to whether cu is within a minimum and maximum. If it is the u counter is reset 230 . If it is not the counter is incremented 232 . If the counter has reached a predetermined threshold 234 an error flag is raised 236 . Then inquiry is made as to whether gain correction factor cv is between the maximum and minimum 238 . If it is, the v counter is reset 240 ; if it is not, counter v is Incremented 242 and an inquiry is made as to whether the counter has reached a predetermined threshold 244 ; if it has, an error flag is set 246 .
