HIGH POWER DENSITY/LIMITED DC LINK VOLTAGE SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR DRIVE
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims priority under 35 USC §119(e) to U.S.
Provisional Application No. 60/631,429 filed November 30, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to motor drive systems, and more particularly to a technique for design/control of a motor drive system including a DC-AC inverter and a synchronous motor.
2. Description of the Related Art
[0003] Large vehicles such as aircraft and ships include a multitude of electrical and mechanical systems that perform complex tasks and require large amounts of energy. Synchronous motor drive systems are suitable for large vehicles. Synchronous motor drives are energy conversion systems that can produce large amounts of energy at high power and high speed, as needed for complex equipment onboard large vehicles. Synchronous motor drive systems are especially efficient with the use of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems due to reduced resulting size and weight. [0004] A typical motor drive system topology for advanced system environments such as "more electric" aircraft with "fly-by-wire" systems is a three phase voltage source DC-AC inverter-driven synchronous motor. The inverter could be installed remotely from the motor, which is integrated into a system such as a cabin air compressor. When the inverter is not in close proximity to the motor, an output AC differential LC filter is used to mitigate high voltage variations occurring on the motor end. Such high voltage variations correspond to high voltage-time derivatives and are caused by long cables connecting the motor to the inverter. The output AC differential LC filter reduces the stress on the motor and helps meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements. [0005] A motor drive system usually needs to accommodate various input DC bus voltage ranges, which ultimately cause variations in the limits of the inverter output AC voltage range. A motor drive system also needs to accommodate various load conditions. The variability in inverter output AC voltage range and load conditions impacts motor drive system performance.
[0006] Commercial motor drive systems are generally designed for constant torque operation below the rated operation speed, and constant power operation above the rated operation speed. The rated operating point for the motor drive system is located at the rated speed, where maximum power is achieved. Hence, the inverter and the motor are optimized separately based on the rated operation point.
[0007] When high power from a motor drive system is required, the DC bus voltage applied to the motor drive system needs to be increased accordingly, to accommodate the increased back electromotive force resulting from the motor design. The motor current rating is limited by the motor design, which includes the design of motor winding. The winding included in a motor drive system can be large and heavy. Installing, reinstalling, or replacing the winding inside the motor is a difficult task. The DC bus voltage is used to compensate for motor design limitations. For example, medium and high voltage DC buses are designed for megawatts motor drive systems used in commercial applications.
[0008] However, in many applications such as the more electric aircraft, the DC bus voltage that can be used to drive high power motor drive systems is limited. In these applications, separate design optimization of motor and inverter typically results in over- designing of the inverter and the motor to accommodate the peak power/peak current requirements. An additional drawback of separate optimization of motor and inverter design is that the motor drive system design is not optimized for overall system efficiency/power density, especially when an output LC filter is installed between the inverter and the motor. Such a filter is often required in applications such as the more electric aircraft, etc.
[0009] A few publications have studied improved efficiency schemes for motor drive systems. One such technique is described in " Method and System for Improving Efficiency of Rotating, Synchronous, Electrical Machine Interacting with Power Converter", Roman Bida, US Patent Application 2002/0149336 Al. With the method described in this work, the efficiency of a motor drive is improved by introducing a spectrum of harmonic components in a power converter supplying energy to the motor. The harmonic components control the current of the power converter so that the current becomes identical in shape and phase to the back electromotive force (back EMF) of the motor. This concept, however, does not provide overall optimization of the motor drive system, as it optimizes only the motor section of the system. [0010] Another technique is described in "Back EMF Controlled Permanent
Magnet Motor", D. Fulton and JV. Curtiss, US Patent 4,275,343. In this publication, however, only the back EMF control of the motor is optimized. Again, no overall optimization of the motor drive system for design and control of both inverter and motor is performed.
[0011] A disclosed embodiment of the application addresses these and other issues by utilizing a high power density/ limited DC link voltage motor drive system, with design and control optimization achieved for the combination of inverter and motor system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] Aspects of the invention are more specifically set forth in the accompanying description with reference to the appended figures. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electrical/mechanical system containing a motor drive system with design/control optimization according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electrical/mechanical system 100 illustrated in FIG.l includes the following components: a power source block 40; a motor drive system 45 with design/control optimization; an energy output system 50; and individual systems and equipment 55. Operation of the electrical/mechanical system 100 in FIG.l will become apparent from the following discussion.
[0033] Electrical/mechanical system 100 may be associated with systems with electrical and mechanical components such as a cabin air compressor system, a heating system, a traction system, etc., in an aircraft, a ship, a train, a laboratory facility, etc. Power source block 40 provides electrical power to motor drive system 45. Power source block 40 handles wattage power that can be hundreds of kW, or MW, and voltages that can be hundreds to thousands of Volts. The output of power source block 40 may be a smoothed DC voltage. Power source block 40 may include transformers, rectifiers, thyristors, filters, and circuit breakers. Motor drive system 45 transforms electrical energy received from power source block 40 into mechanical energy. Motor drive system 45 may include electrical circuits and components, as well as magnetic components such as coils and permanent magnets. Energy output system 50 outputs the energy generated by motor drive system 45 to individual systems and equipment 55. Energy output system 50 may include shafts, gearboxes, wheels, transmission systems, electrical sensors, and electrical circuits. Individual systems and equipment 55 are systems that enable functioning of services onboard a vehicle, or in a lab. Individual systems and equipment 55 may include a cabin air compressor, an electric generator, a set of wheels, a traction system, a braking system, etc.
[0034] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a motor drive system 45 with design/control optimization according to an embodiment of the present invention. Motor drive system 45 includes the following components: a DC-AC inverter 65; inverter output filters 70; and a motor 75. DC power source block 60 provides electric DC input to DC-AC inverter 65. DC power source block 60 belongs to power source block 40. DC-AC inverter 65 converts the electric DC input received from DC power source block 60 into an electric AC voltage. DC-AC inverter 65 is an electrical system that may include semiconductor devices, energy storage components such as capacitors, etc. Inverter output filters 70 eliminate voltage-switching noise caused, for example, by long cables connecting the inverter output filters 70 to motor 75. Inverter output filters 70 may also eliminate noise in systems where shielding is not preferred, such as "more electric" aircraft systems. Inverter output filters 70 include electrical circuits and components such as inductors and capacitors. The AC voltage output filtered by inverter output filters 70 is input into motor 75, which outputs mechanical and electric energy. Motor 75 includes electronic and electromagnetic components such as electronic devices, metallic windings, and magnetic cores. Motor 75 may be a permanent magnet synchronous motor. [0035] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating operations performed for overall design/control optimization of a motor drive system 45 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The flow diagram in FIG. 3 implements an optimization technique including both off-line design and on-line control for overall optimization of motor drive system 45 to obtain the maximum efficiency/power density. The optimization technique illustrated in FIG. 3 takes into account the rated operation point during the off-line design optimization, and the entire operating range during the on-line control optimization of motor drive system 45. Overall system optimization is achieved when the combination of design/control of inverter 65 and design/ control of motor 75 is taken into account during the optimization process. The result is that motor drive system 45 is optimized for inverter unity power factor and motor unity power factor at the rated operating point, and for minimum current for both inverter and motor for the entire specified range of motor drive system operating conditions. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an extensive number of variable factors are considered. The impacts of the variable factors on overall capability of motor drive system 45 to reach optimized performance are assessed. An analytical solution that achieves the optimization goal is then established. [0036] Minimizing the inverter 65 current and motor 75 current in the entire specified operating range of motor drive system 45 is the main criteria for the design and control optimization of the inverter/motor system design for high efficiency/power density. A combination of off-line design optimization (S 124) and on-line control optimization (S 134) is implemented to accomplish overall design/control optimization of motor drive system 45.
[0037] In the off-line design optimization step S 124, unity power factor is achieved for both inverter and motor at the rated operating point which is selected as the maximum efficiency point. To optimize the maximum efficiency point, an extensive number of motor drive system 45 parameters are selected (S 125). The selected parameters are input into an optimization block where off-line optimization design constraints are applied (S126). The off-line optimization design step S126 uses an optimization iteration step S 142 to find the optimized values of the selected parameters that minimize inverter 65 current (S 127), minimize motor 75 current (S 128), and bring the power factors of motor 75 and inverter 65 to unity (S129). For this purpose, combinations of motor drive system 45 parameters that satisfy the off-line design optimization constraints in steps S 127, S 128 and S 129 are found.
[0038] Motor back electromotive force (EMF) and inductance value selection for motor 75, as well as filter parameters for inverter output filters 70 are found in optimization step S 143. Minimum inverter current is achieved when DC voltage utilization for inverter 65 is maximized (S130). Motor back EMF and inductance value selection for motor 75 are optimized to ensure minimum motor current under the constraint imposed by the DC bus voltage limitation of inverter 65 (Sl 31). Filter parameters for inverter output filters 70 are optimized so that minimum inverter and motor currents are obtained at the same time when both inverter 65 and motor 75 operate at unity power factor (S 132). Step S 124 for off-line design optimization of the rated operation point outputs optimized filter 70 parameters, and optimized motor back EMF and inductance for motor 75 (S 133). The output filter and motor parameters help achieve minimum motor current, minimum inverter current and minimum overall current when power factors for both inverter and motor are at unity value, and maximum efficiency/power density is achieved for motor drive system 45 (S 133). [0039] The second step of design/control optimization of motor drive system 45 is on-line control optimization of the entire motor driving operation range (S 134). In this step, the minimal current operation point for the optimized efficiency at all operating points is selected. As motor drive system 45 starts operation, DC bus voltage is turned on and connected to the inverter (S135). The inverter AC output voltage has an upper limit that is defined by the DC bus voltage. While the inverter AC output voltage is within the range defined by the AC output voltage upper limit (S 136), inverter current, or motor current, or both, are minimized (S 137), by applying a control strategy defined by
Figure imgf000010_0002
or the motor drive system 45 (S 138). This strategy aligns the motor current to the motor back EMF. When the AC output voltage hits the upper AC output voltage limit (S 136), the constraint
Figure imgf000010_0001
is not appropriate anymore, as the DC bus voltage cannot continue to produce the expected inverter AC voltage. In this case, maximum voltage control, which maintains the maximum DC bus utilization, becomes the primary goal in the on-line control optimization of motor drive system 45 (S 139). The inverter current and motor current are next minimized at the controlled operating point (S 140). Hence, with DC bus utilization maintained at the maximum value, the inverter 65 current, or the motor 75 current, or both, are at the minimum.
[0040] FIG. 4A is a block diagram of a motor drive system 45 A with design/control optimization including a LC filter 7OA in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Motor drive system 45A with design/control optimization includes three main components: a three phase DC-AC inverter 65A; an inverter output filter 7OA; and a synchronous motor 75A.

which describe the case when motor drive system 45A does not include a LC filter. Thus, the results obtained in the general case when motor drive system 45A includes inverter output filters are applicable to the particular case when motor drive system 45A does not include inverter output filters.
[0044] FIG. 7A illustrates off-line design optimization of the rated operation point in a motor drive system 45A with design/control optimization in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7A illustrates the result of operations performed during the off-line design optimization step S 124 in FIG. 3, before the optimized parameters for the rated operation point were identified. The power factor for motor 75 A is equal to the cosine of the angle between the motor voltage

and the

cos(Θ) =1, that is when Θ = 0. Since the angle Θ in FIG. 7 A is small but not zero, the vector diagram in FIG. 7A depicts a motor drive system 45A status that is close to the optimized rated operation point but that has not yet reached the optimized rated operation point.

The goal of off-line design optimization is to reach the point shown in equations (23) and (24), so that both the inverter 65A and the motor 75A are optimized for minimal current with unity power factor. Inverter bridge output voltage is determined by the DC bus

Output filter parameters L and C, motor back EMF E, and inductance Lm need to be optimized for minimal current of the overall system during the optimization iteration process S 142 shown in FIG. 3. Equations (20), (21), and (22) are useful for calculating the minimal inverter and motor currents at an optimized rated operation point. The inverter 65 A and motor 75A are both running at unity power factor and with minimum current at the optimized rated operation point of motor drive system 45 A. Significant to this off-line design optimization process is the consideration of a wide variety of parameters, as shown in

Graph 414 is the motor back EMF E, which increases proportionally with rotational speed. [0053] FIG. 9 is a schematic of a complete system for design/control optimization of a motor drive system 45B in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. A system for design/control optimization of motor drive system 45B includes an off-line optimization design unit 502, and an on-line optimization control unit 503. Off-line optimization design unit 502 performs optimization iterations that determine and adjust motor drive system functional parameters to optimize motor drive system design. Off-line optimization design unit 502 then outputs the adjusted motor drive system design parameters. When the off-line design optimization process is completed, the motor drive system is physically designed and built, with motor, inverter, and filters exhibiting parameter values output by the off-line optimization design unit 502. When the motor drive system is ready for testing, the on-line optimization control unit 503 is activated. Online optimization control unit 503 starts the operation of the inverter 65B with a DC input voltage within a specified range with an upper limit value. The on-line optimization control unit 503 also starts control of motor 75B rotor speed from zero to its functional upper limit listed in the motor 75B specification. On-line optimization control unit 503 receives feedback information from synchronous motor 75B, inverter output filters 7OB, and three phase DC-AC inverter 65B. On-line optimization control unit 503 then performs on-line optimization of motor drive system 45B. For this purpose, on-line optimization control unit 503 applies on-line optimization control rules I and II described in equations (33)-(34) and sends control signals to three phase DC-AC inverter 65B. [0054] FIG. 1OA is a functional block diagram of an off-line optimization design unit 502 for design/control optimization of a motor drive system 45B in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Off-line optimization design unit 502 collects an extensive range of parameters from motor drive system 45B in inverter parameters level I unit 504, inverter parameters level II unit 505, motor parameters level I unit 508, motor parameters level II unit 509, output filters parameters unit 507, and off-line design parameters input unit 506. The definitions and relationships between parameters shown in FIG. 1OA are detailed in Table 1 shown in FIG. 11. For exemplification, table 1 also shown typical values for parameters used in the design of the 100KW/540V aircraft cabin air compressor motor drive system.
[0055] The parameters collected by units 504, 505, 506, 507, 508, and 509 are embedded into a smaller number of directly related parameters that may include L and C related to inverter output filters 7OB, E and Lm, related to motor 75B, and Vac_max related to inverter 65B. The resulting parameters are directed to the off-line design optimization iteration unit 510. Off-line design optimization iteration unit 510 performs iterations that optimize the values of L, C , E and Lm to achieve the optimization goal of unity power factor for both inverter and motor at the rated operating point. The unity power control is set by power factor optimization unit 511. When off-line design optimization is complete, off-line optimization design unit 502 outputs optimized L, C , E and Lm values. [0056] FIG. 1OB is a functional block diagram of an on-line optimization control unit 503 for design/control optimization of a motor drive system 45B in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The goal of on-line control optimization is minimal current operation in the whole operating range of motor drive system 45B. Online control optimization starts with parameter information from the optimized rated operation point determined in the off-line optimization process. On-line control optimization is designed to accommodate drift of the operating point. Such drift of the operating point may occur due to variations of DC bus voltage or load conditions of motor drive system 45B. As shown in FIG.1OB, input parameters selection unit 512 for on-line control optimization selects input parameters in three steps.
[0057] First, parameters from off-line design optimization parameter retrieval unit

[0058] Secondly, measurement feedbacks from measurement/feedback unit 514 for DC voltage Vdc, rotor position θ and speed ω are sent to the AC voltage limitation calculation Vacjtnax unit 524. The components Iac_A, Iac_B andlac_C of measured three phase current inverte are sent to the abc/dq transformation unit 515 which
Figure imgf000021_0006
obtains the dq current components Iac_d and Iac_q. The dq current components Iac_d and Iac_q are later used by regulation units 520 and 521. [0059] Thirdly, the input parameters from input parameters selection unit 512 are sent to system level command unit 516 which controls ωref , hence driving the commanded operating point of motor drive system 45B. Speed command ωref and measured speed ω are then sent to the speed regulation unit 517, which generates the motor torque command Imq_ref.
[0060] The motor magnetic current command Imd_ref is also generated, based on the on-line control optimization rules I and II described by equations (33) and (34). For this purpose, AC voltage limitation calculation Vacjtnax unit 524 calculates the AC voltage limit based on the measured Vdc , as shown in equation (30). Unit 525 then uses equation (31) to calculate the limitation due to the DC voltage limitation. For the
