Claim:
1. A synchronous machine control device comprising: an electric-power converter that outputs a voltage to a synchronous machine having a permanent magnet for forming a magnetic field, based on a voltage command; a current detector that detects an armature current of the synchronous machine; an armature interlinked magnetic flux estimation device that estimates, based on the voltage command, a magnitude of an armature interlinked magnetic flux of the synchronous machine and a γ axis along which the armature interlinked magnetic flux is generated and that coordinate-transforms the armature current into a current on a γ-δ axis consisting of the γ axis and a δ axis that is perpendicular to the γ axis, based on a rotor position of the synchronous machine and the estimated γ axis; a magnetic flux control device that generates a γ-axis current command for controlling a γ-axis current to be a predetermined value, based on a magnetic flux command and the magnitude of the armature interlinked magnetic flux; a current control device that generates the voltage command, based on a γ-δ axis current command obtained by adding a δ-axis current command to the γ-axis current command and the γ-δ axis current; and a magnet state outputter that estimates and outputs a magnetic flux or a temperature of the permanent magnet, wherein the magnet state outputter is provided with a magnet state estimation device for estimating the magnetic flux or the temperature of the permanent magnet based on the γ-axis current, the δ-axis current command, and the magnetic flux command, and is further provided with a magnet state corrector, and the magnet state outputter operates in one of a magnet state correction value calculation mode and a magnet state estimation mode, wherein in the magnet state correction value calculation mode, the magnet state outputter transmits, to the magnet state estimation device, zero as each of current commands of the respective axes on the γ-δ axis and calculates a magnet state correction value, based on the magnitude of the armature interlinked magnetic flux estimated under a condition of the current commands and a magnetic flux estimation value or a temperature estimation value of the permanent magnet obtained by the magnet state estimation device under a condition that a predetermined magnetic flux command and the δ-axis current command are given to the magnet state estimation device, and wherein in the magnet state estimation mode, the magnet state outputter controls the magnet state corrector to correct by the magnet state correction value the magnetic flux estimation value or the temperature estimation value of the permanent magnet obtained by the magnet state estimation device under the condition that the predetermined magnetic flux command and the δ-axis current command are given.
