Abstract

A boost converter control apparatus for controlling a motor drive system which is provided with a boost converter disposed between an electric power converter and a direct current power supply, the boost converter boosting a direct current voltage of the direct current power supply and supplying it to the electric power converter, is provided with: an operating device provided with a proportional element, an integral element and a derivative element, the derivative element being configured as a bandpass filter, the operating device calculating a PID controlled variable corresponding to an electric current command value of the boost converter for maintaining an output voltage of the boost converter at a command value of an inter-terminal voltage VH of a smoothing condenser; and a controlling device which is configured to control the output voltage of the boost converter on the basis of the calculated PID controlled variable.

Claims (19)

1. A boost converter control apparatus which is configured to control a boost converter in a motor drive system, said motor drive system comprising:

a direct current power supply;

a three-phase alternating current motor;

an electric power converter disposed between the direct current power supply and the three-phase alternating current motor, the electric power converter including switching circuits, each of which corresponds to respective one of three phases of the three-phase alternating current motor, and a smoothing condenser, which is disposed electrically in parallel with the switching circuits; and

the boost converter disposed between the electric power converter and the direct current power supply, the boost converter boosting a direct current voltage of the direct current power supply and supplying it to the electric power converter,

said boost converter control apparatus comprising:

an operating device comprising a proportional element, an integral element and a derivative element, the derivative element being configured as a bandpass filter, said operating device calculating a PID controlled variable corresponding to an electric current command value of the boost converter for maintaining an output voltage of the boost converter at a command value of an inter-terminal voltage VH of the smoothing condenser; and

a controlling device which is configured to control the output voltage of the boost converter on the basis of the calculated PID controlled variable, wherein

a cutoff frequency of the bandpass filter is greater than or equal to an upper limit value of a motor electrical frequency which is proportional to a rotational speed of the three-phase alternating current motor, and the cutoff frequency is less than a lower limit value of a carrier frequency of the electric power converter.

2. A boost converter control apparatus which is configured to control a boost converter in a motor drive system, said motor drive system comprising:

a direct current power supply;

a three-phase alternating current motor;

an electric power converter disposed between the direct current power supply and the three-phase alternating current motor, the electric power converter including switching circuits, each of which corresponds to respective one of three phases of the three-phase alternating current motor, and a smoothing condenser, which is disposed electrically in parallel with the switching circuits; and

the boost converter disposed between the electric power converter and the direct current power supply, the boost converter boosting a direct current voltage of the direct current power supply and supplying it to the electric power converter,

said boost converter control apparatus comprising:

an operating device comprising a proportional element, an integral element and a derivative element, the derivative element being configured as a bandpass filter, said operating device calculating a PID controlled variable corresponding to an electric current command value of the boost converter for maintaining an output voltage of the boost converter at a command value of an inter-terminal voltage VH of the smoothing condenser; and

a controlling device which is configured to control the output voltage of the boost converter on the basis of the calculated PID controlled variable, wherein

said operating device calculates a PI controlled variable in which the derivative element is invalid, instead of the PID controlled variable, if a rotational speed of the three-phase alternating current motor is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and

said controlling device controls the output voltage on the basis of the calculated PI controlled variable.
