| 20080203953 | CONTROL BANDWIDTH FOR COST EFFECTIVE AC MOTOR DRIVES IN AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS USING TWO DSP DEVICES WITH DISSIMILAR REDUNDANT INTER-PROCESSOR COMMUNICATION LINK - A digital control system for an electric motor uses two motor-control DSP's operated in parallel to provide high bandwidth motor control. Each of the two DSP's individually may have a limited processing rate (e.g. about 150 million instructions per second [MIPS]). Parallel operation of the DSP's with efficient cross-communication may facilitate motor control at a high sampling frequency. The high sampling frequency may require processing at a rate greater than the limited processing rate (e.g. greater than 150 MIPS), but the combined DSP's may provide the requisite processing speed. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090161392 | DC COMPONENT ELIMINATION AT OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF PWM INVERTERS - A control system for a PWM inverter may reduce a DC component of an output of the inverter. An output voltage signal may be attenuated with a low-pass filter to produce a signal with a high DC content. A duty cycle of an output of the low pass filter may be determined with a zero-crossing detector. A calculation may be performed to determine a magnitude of a DC offsetting voltage that may offset the DC component of the inverter output. The inverter may be commanded to produce a DC offsetting voltage with an opposite polarity from the DC component of the inverter output. The opposite polarity DC offsetting voltage may effectively cancel the DC component of the inverter output. A monitoring system may employ an alternate system for determining the level of the DC component, thus providing a desirable redundancy to the system. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100172166 | PLUG-IN NEUTRAL REGULATOR FOR 3-PHASE 4-WIRE INVERTER/CONVERTER SYSTEM - A neutral line regulator is designed as a plug-in module or new integrated inverter with a lower rating 4th-leg, instead of using a conventional four-leg inverter to supply power to three-phase four-wire unbalanced AC loads or three-phase nonlinear loads without a neutral connection. The neutral line regulator may be designed for controlling only the unbalanced power rather than using a fully rated inverter leg. Since this plug-in module may be separate from the main inverter and may operate at a lower power, the switching frequency may be higher than the main inverter. Thus, the size and weight requirements for providing the neutral line can be significantly reduced. In addition, the plug-in regulator may maintain voltage balance between the center-tapped DC link capacitors for non-linear, unbalanced loads. Moreover, the plug-in module may be used as a retrofit module replacing, for example, delta-wye transformers. | 07-08-2010 |
