Abstract

To improve control characteristics of an inverter while suppressing manufacturing cost. An inverter control device 10 is a device for controlling an inverter device 1 having a plurality of switching elements. The inverter control device 10 includes a current control unit 13 that calculates three phase voltage command signals Vu*, Vv*, and Vw* based on a d-axis current command signal id* and a q-axis current command signal iq* at each predetermined calculation period T 0 , a sampling period conversion unit 14 that outputs three phase voltage command signals Vu**, Vv**, and Vw** after update at each predetermined update period T 1 different from the calculation period T 0 based on a calculation result of the three phase voltage command signals Vu*, Vv*, and Vw* by the current control unit 13 , and a gate signal generation unit 15 that generates a gate signal for switching-driving a plurality of the switching elements based on the three phase voltage command signals Vu**, Vv**, and Vw** after update output from the sampling period conversion unit 14.

the sampling period convertor further includes a differentiator configured to execute differential operation based on a calculation result of the voltage command for each of the calculation periods,

the zero adder is configured to add, at each of the update periods, the zero value to a calculation result of the voltage command applied with differential operation by the differentiator to generate the zero-added impulse train, and

the low-pass filter includes an integrator configured to execute integral operation based on the zero-added impulse train at each of the update periods.

3. The inverter control device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the calculation period is T 0 , the update period is T 1 , a cutoff frequency of the current controller is ωc, and a circular constant is π, the calculation period and the update period satisfy following conditional expression:
