Abstract:
Provided is a motor control device for a vehicle including: an inverter, in which a plurality of power semiconductor devices are installed, and which is configured to drive a motor through switching control; and a DC/DC converter configured to step up an output voltage of a DC power supply in accordance with a voltage command value to apply the stepped-up voltage to the inverter, in which the inverter employs a wide bandgap semiconductor, for example, a SiC device, as the power semiconductor devices, and the DC/DC converter has a circuit configuration in which a stepwise output voltage is generated at the time of DC/DC power conversion.

Claim (Index 8):
A motor control device for a vehicle according to  claim 7 , wherein:\n the controller includes:\n a motor loss estimator, which is configured to estimate a loss of the motor for each of a plurality of voltage command values, each of which is able to be output as the stepwise output value; \n an inverter loss estimator, which is configured to estimate a loss of the inverter for each of the plurality of voltage command values; and \n a DC/DC converter loss estimator, which is configured to estimate a loss of the DC/DC converter for each of the plurality of voltage command values; and \n the controller is configured to calculate a total loss, which is a sum of the respective losses for each of the plurality of voltage command values, from respective estimation results obtained by the motor loss estimator, the inverter loss estimator, and the DC/DC converter loss estimator to identify a voltage command value that minimizes the total loss.
