Patent ID: 7009856

Claim:
A vector-controlled, dual inverter system for a three-phase induction motor, comprising: a first inverter system adapted to be coupled to one end of three-phase windings of a stator and configured to compensate back electromotive force, in which the first inverter system interconnects a battery and a three-phase induction motor, and the second inverter system interconnects a capacitor and the three-phase induction motor; and a second inverter system adapted to be coupled to the other end of the three-phase windings of the stator and configured to compensate reactive power, wherein the first inverter system comprises: a q-axis current controller configured to provide proportional integral control based on a difference between a q-axis current command and a q-axis current, compensating back EMF, and generating a first q-axis voltage command; a magnetic flux controller configured to provide proportional integral control based on a difference between a magnetic flux command and magnetic flux, and generating a d-axis current command; a d-axis current controller configured to provide proportional integral control based on the difference between the d-axis current command and the d-axis current, and generating a first-d axis voltage command; a first d-q/three-phase coordinate converter adapted to receive the first q-axis voltage command and the first d-axis voltage command, and configured to convert the first q-axis voltage command and the first d-axis voltage command to a first three-phase voltage command; a first inverter configured to convert Direct Current (D.C.) power to Alternating Current (A.C.) power based on the first three-phase voltage command to the three-phase induction motor; and a first three-phase/d-q coordinate converter configured to detect the three-phase currents flowing from the first inverter to the three-phase induction motor and converting the three-phase currents to a q-axis current and a d-axis current, wherein the second inverter system comprises: a voltage controller configured to provide proportional integral control based on a difference between a DC-link capacitor voltage command and a DC-link capacitor voltage to estimate a voltage command vector and dividing the voltage command vector into a d-axis component and a q-axis component; a reactive voltage compensator compensating a d-axis component and a q-axis component and providing a second d-axis voltage command and a second q-axis voltage command; a second d-q/three-phase coordinate converter receiving the second q- axis voltage command and the second d-axis voltage command and converting them to a second three-phase voltage command; and a second inverter converting D.C. power to A.C. power based on the second three-phase voltage command to the three-phase induction motor.
