20150061708 | Detection Method of Current Sensor Faults in the E-Drive System By Using the Voltage Command Error - Systems, apparatus, and methods detect a current sensor error in an FOC electric machine system. A voltage command is monitored to detect the presence of an ac component can indicate that an error has occurred at a current sensor. By way of example, a sensor fault detection module can be configured to determine the deviation between an actual voltage command and an ideal voltage command to provide a complex deviation vector. By transforming the deviation vector to a reference frame rotating at the fundamental frequency of the command voltage, a dc component of the positive and negative sequences can be filtered, and their amplitudes determined. Error detection can be based on the total amplitude of the fundamental component, determined by positive and negative component amplitudes. The invention enables an FOC system to operate with two current sensors, rather than three, and provides a dedicated fault diagnostic for a current sensor. | 03-05-2015 |

A resolver is coupled to the electric machine having a rotor rotating with the electric machine, the resolver responding to an excitation signal to produce a position signal. A controller is coupled to the resolver to receive the position signal and coupled to the electric machine to control the conversion. The controller generates the excitation signal at a variable frequency selected as a function of an operating point of the electric machine to avoid harmonic noise peaks propagating at the electric machine. Consequently, the position signal is relatively less affected by electromagnetic noise. | 07-30-2015 |
