Abstract

Abstract In a discrete-time alternating-current motor control apparatus having a state estimation observer estimating a rotor angle and a rotor angular velocity based on a direct quadrature transformation model of the motor, the gain of the observer is changed over depending on an estimated angular velocity. As a result, the apparatus is applicable in a wide range of the motor speed. Furthermore, the phase difference between the winding voltages and the winding currents supplied to the state estimation observer is compensated depending on the estimated angular velocity, thereby improving the control accuracy.
