Filed:
Sep 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/853862
Inventors:
Yo Chan Son - Torrance CA, US
Gabriel Gallegos-Lopez - Torrance CA, US
Silva Hiti - Redondo Beach CA, US
Michael Milani - San Pedro CA, US
Milun Perisic - Torrance CA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H02P 7/00
US Classification:
318432, 318471
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, a method is provided for limiting an operational temperature of a motor. The method includes generating a maximum allowable current I*for a motor based on a temperature difference between a temperature reference T* of a power inverter module and a semiconductor device temperature T of the power inverter module. The method further includes generating a maximum allowable torque T*based on the maximum allowable current I*and a maximum allowable flux Ψ*, and using the maximum allowable torque T*to limit the torque command T*in order to suppress the semiconductor device temperature T to below the temperature reference T*.

Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/829298
Inventors:
Gabriel Gallegos-Lopez - Torrance CA, US
Yo Chan Son - Torrance CA, US
Milun Perisic - Torrance CA, US
Silva Hiti - Redondo Beach CA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI

H03K 5/00
US Classification:
3184002, 3184001, 318722
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to provide torque linearity in the field-weakening region for an IPM machine. The systems and methods adjust the q-axis and the d-axis components of the stator current commands of the IPM machine using a flux weakening and a torque linearity control loop respectively. Thereby, torque linearity is maintained during the field weakening region of operation of the IPM machine.

US Patent:
7839108, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
Jan 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/019395
Inventors:
Nitinkumar R. Patel - Cypress CA, US
Yo Chan Son - Torrance CA, US
Silva Hiti - Redondo Beach CA, US
Steven E. Schulz - Torrance CA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H02H 5/04
US Classification:
318432, 318434, 318700, 31840001, 318799, 318801, 318802, 318806, 361 23, 361 24, 361 25, 361 27
Abstract:
A temperature estimation controller and methods are provided for controlling a torque command to prevent overheating of one or more of a plurality of phases of a permanent magnet motor. The temperature estimation controller includes a low speed temperature estimation module, a transition module and a temperature dependent torque command derater block. The low speed temperature estimation module determines a stator temperature of each of a plurality of phases of the permanent magnet motor in response to first thermal impedances measured for each of the plurality of phases with respect to a thermal neutral. The transition module is coupled to the low speed temperature estimation module and outputs the stator temperature of each of a plurality of phases of the permanent magnet motor as determined by the low speed temperature estimation module when a detected speed of the permanent magnet motor is less than a first predetermined speed. The temperature dependent torque command derater block is coupled to the transition module and derates the torque command in response to the stator temperature of one or more of the plurality of phases.

Linearity For Field Weakening In An Interior Permanent Magnet Machine

US Patent:
7923953, Apr 12, 2011
Filed:
May 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/786104
Inventors:
Gabriel Gallegos-Lopez - Torrance CA, US
Yo Chan Son - Torrance CA, US
Milun Perisic - Torrance CA, US
Silva Hiti - Redondo Beach CA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H03K 5/00
US Classification:
3184002, 3184001, 318722
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to provide torque linearity in the field-weakening region for an electric (e. g. , IPM) machine. The systems and methods implement a field weakening and a torque linearity control loop for linearizing torque generated by an electric machine. As a result, torque linearity is maintained when the electric machine operates in the field weakening region.

US Patent:
7932691, Apr 26, 2011
Filed:
Apr 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/107132
Inventors:
Yo Chan Son - Torrance CA, US
Bon Ho Bae - Torrance CA, US
Michael Milani - Ranchos Palos Verdes CA, US
Assignee:
GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H02P 1/24
US Classification:
318727, 31840003, 31840015
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for startup of a permanent magnet alternating current (AC) motor. The method comprises the steps of detecting startup of the permanent magnet AC motor; detecting a mechanical oscillation of the permanent magnet AC motor when startup of the permanent magnet AC motor is detected; and, in response to detection of the mechanical oscillation of the permanent magnet AC motor when startup is detected, suppressing the mechanical oscillation of the permanent magnet AC motor.
