Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the motor driving circuit uses conventional power consumption estimation methods, then the circuit structure is simple, but the power consumption cannot be minimized under varying driving conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by measuring link current and removing high-frequency components before generating PWM signals, enabling power consumption estimation before the motor operates under specific conditions. This allows the system to pre-determine optimal driving parameters that minimize power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The minimum power consumption estimating unit continuously monitors the filter current and adjusts the lead angle accordingly, creating a feedback loop that optimizes power consumption in real-time. The system uses the measured current information to dynamically adjust driving parameters, ensuring minimal power consumption under varying operating conditions.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the motor driving circuit adjusts driving parameters dynamically to minimize power consumption, then energy efficiency improves, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motor driving circuit performs self-service by automatically adjusting its own driving parameters based on measured current information. The minimum power consumption estimating unit uses the filter current to determine optimal lead angles without requiring external intervention, enabling the system to self-optimize power consumption while maintaining manageable complexity through automated control.
3Measurement precision
If high-frequency components are removed from link current to estimate power consumption, then measurement precision improves, but the response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively removing only the high-frequency components from the link current while preserving the essential low-frequency information needed for power consumption estimation. This selective filtering approach achieves sufficient measurement precision without requiring complete signal processing that would excessively delay the response time.
