Solution Overview

Problem

Existing induction motor control techniques fail to account for parameter changes and rotor magnetic flux delays, leading to unstable control responses due to parameter errors and transient response neglect.

Innovation Solution

The proposed control system uses a non-interference controller and a non-interference magnetic flux response filter to compensate for parameter changes and rotor magnetic flux delays, improving responsiveness by filtering interference voltages and simulating electric current delays, and allowing for variable parameters based on rotor characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If conventional vector control is used without considering parameter changes, then the control structure is simple, but the control response becomes irregular due to parameter errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol structureVSAvoidcontrol response stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the self-inductance and mutual inductance parameters variable rather than fixed. The control device dynamically adjusts these parameters based on the operating point (torque and rotation speed) to match actual motor conditions, thereby maintaining reliable control response across varying operating conditions while keeping the overall control structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent directly implements parameter changes by using operating-point-dependent self-inductance and mutual inductance values. Instead of using constant parameters, the system selects parameters that correspond to the current torque and rotation speed, which compensates for parameter errors and prevents irregular control responses without requiring complex adaptive algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If control is performed neglecting rotor magnetic flux delay, then the control response is fast, but the control becomes unstable in practice

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol response speedVSAvoidcontrol stability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing the relationship between excitation current and rotor magnetic flux in a lookup table. This allows the control device to compensate for the inherent delay in rotor magnetic flux generation without requiring complex real-time calculations, maintaining fast control response while achieving stable control through advance preparation of flux information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism by using a lookup table that stores pre-computed rotor magnetic flux values. This intermediary structure mediates between the excitation current input and the torque control output, allowing the system to account for flux delay effects without directly computing the delayed flux in real-time, thus maintaining both speed and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If non-interference controller computes interference voltage using mathematical model, then the control is independent, but parameter changes cause errors that are not accounted for

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol independenceVSAvoidparameter accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by making the parameters in the non-interference controller adaptive to operating conditions. By using self-inductance and mutual inductance values that change with torque and rotation speed, the system maintains control independence through the non-interference structure while simultaneously accounting for parameter changes, thus preventing calculation errors and improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
