Title:
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INVERTER, MOTOR DRIVE UNIT, MOTOR MODULE, AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/049459
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for controlling an inverter which enables a greater amount of electric current to flow through the inverter by appropriately suppressing the generation of heat by a switch element. This method for controlling an inverter includes: an electric current acquiring step S100 of acquiring phase currents; an estimating step S200 of estimating an average electric current per cycle of a switching operation, flowing through each of a plurality of switch elements in the inverter; an updating step S300 of determining, for each phase, an optimal distribution of time ratios of a plurality of switching patterns, on the basis of the estimated value of the average electric current; and a generating step S400 of generating a control signal for controlling the switching operations of the plurality of switch elements on the basis of the optimal distributed values of the time ratios; wherein the electric current acquiring step, the estimating step, the updating step and the generating step are carried out repeatedly.
