Abstract
Description
図1は、実施の形態1に従う交流電動機の制御装置が適用されるモータ駆動制御システムを搭載したハイブリッド車両100の全体構成図である。実施の形態1においては、車両100としてエンジンおよびモータジェネレータを搭載したハイブリッド車両を例として説明するが、車両100の構成はこれに限定されるものではなく、蓄電装置からの電力によって走行可能な車両であれば適用可能である。車両100としては、ハイブリッド車両以外にたとえば電気自動車や燃料電池自動車などが含まれる。
インバータ22は駆動輪42を駆動するモータジェネレータMG2に対してコンバータ12の出力する直流電圧を三相交流に変換して出力する。またインバータ22は、回生制動に伴い、モータジェネレータMG2において発電された回生電力をコンバータ12に出力する。このときコンバータ12は降圧回路として動作するようにECU30によって制御される。インバータ22の内部の構成は、図示しないがインバータ14と同様であり、詳細な説明は繰り返さない。
減算部211は、電圧指令生成部200から入力を受ける電圧指令VREFと、電圧センサ13により検出されたコンバータ12のシステム電圧のフィードバック値VMとの電圧偏差を演算し、演算結果を電圧制御演算部212に出力する。
減算部221は、電圧制御演算部212からのリアクトル電流指令値ILREFと、サンプリングホールド部240によって、スイッチング周期ごとに検出値がホールドされたリアクトル電流ILのフィードバック値との電流偏差を演算し、電流制御演算部222に出力する。
上記の実施の形態1においては、リアクトル電流指令値ILREFが正か否かによって、スイッチング素子Q1およびQ2のうちのいずれの片アームを駆動するかを判定した。
図19は、変形例において、スイッチング素子Q2がオンしている場合の電流の流れる方向を示した図である。
VB-L・(dIL/dt)=0 ・・・(1)
dIL/dt=VB/L ・・・(2)
VB-L・(dIL/dt)-VM=0 ・・・(3)
dIL/dt=(VB-VM)/L ・・・(4)
T1・(VB/L)+T2・{(VB-VM)/L}=0 ・・・(5)
T2/(T1+T2)=VB/VM ・・・(6)
T2=VB/(VM・FC) ・・・(7)
ILA=(-T2/2)・(VB-VM)/L
={-VB/(2VM・FC)}・(VB-VM)/L
=(1-VB/VM)・(VB/L)/2FC ・・・(8)
VM=VB2/(VB-2FC・L・ILA) ・・・(9)
VM=VB2/(VB+2FC・L・ILA) ・・・(10)
実施の形態1およびその変形例で示したように、図2の状態Bである搬送波CRの1周期中にリアクトル電流ILの方向が正から負、または負から正に切替わる範囲(変形例での-IL1<ILA<IL1の範囲)では、スイッチング素子Q1またはQ2のデューティの変化が、図2の状態Aまたは状態Cの場合と比較して、相対的に大きくなる。
[実施の形態3]
実施の形態1および実施の形態2における片アーム駆動制御において、特に負荷電流が少なくなる領域(図2の状態B)では、スイッチング素子Q1,Q2のオン時間は両アーム駆動制御の場合と比較して短くなる。そのため、たとえば両アーム駆動制御時と同程度までスイッチング素子Q1,Q2のオン時間を拡大するとともに、それに対応してスイッチング素子Q1,Q2の駆動回数(スイッチング回数)を減少させることができる。このようにすると、スイッチング素子Q1,Q2の駆動回数が減少することによって、スイッチング損失を低下させることができるので、さらなる効率向上が期待できる。
実施の形態1から実施の形態3においては、リアクトル電流指令値ILREFによって片アーム駆動制御を行なうか否かを判定する手法について説明した。
