Solution Overview
Problem
Rotary drive systems face challenges in adapting to multiple operational objectives, particularly in controlling zero-sequence current or voltage to optimize electric motor performance effectively.
Innovation Solution
A rotary drive system comprising a DC voltage source, an electric motor with independent phases, an inverter, and a control device that applies the Park transform to phase currents to determine direct, quadrature, and zero-sequence currents, and selects formulas to setpoints based on speed and torque parameters to control zero-sequence currents or voltages, allowing for flexible operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the control device controls the inverter to achieve zero zero sequence current, then certain objectives are met, but the system cannot meet other objectives requiring non-zero homopolar current
Solution Approach 1:
The control device dynamically adjusts the zero-sequence current setpoint based on operating conditions (speed and torque). The system transitions between zero-sequence current control and homopolar voltage control modes depending on the operational zone, allowing the same hardware to serve multiple purposes without requiring complex additional components
Solution Approach 2:
The control device changes the control parameter from zero-sequence current to homopolar voltage based on the operational zone. By selecting different formulas (F1-F4) that calculate different setpoints based on speed and torque, the system adapts its control strategy to meet different operational objectives while using the same physical infrastructure
2Productivity
If the system uses fixed control strategy for zero sequence current, then control is simplified, but the system cannot optimize performance across different operational zones
Solution Approach 1:
The control device dynamically selects among four different formulas (F1-F4) based on the current operational zone defined by speed and torque parameters. This dynamic formula selection allows the system to optimize motor performance across different operational conditions without requiring physical hardware changes
Solution Approach 2:
The control device changes the mathematical model (formula) used to calculate the zero-sequence current setpoint based on operational conditions. Different formulas are applied in different zones to optimize performance, transforming the control approach from static to adaptive while maintaining a unified control architecture
