Control device of rotating machine, and control device of electric vehicle

A control device for a rotating machine, comprising:

• a magnetic pole position estimation unit configured to estimate a position of a magnetic pole of a rotor based on a state quantity of the rotating machine;
• a vector calculation unit configured to obtain a magnetic pole position estimated value which is an estimation result obtained by the magnetic pole position estimation unit, and to generate a d-axis current and a q-axis current based on a detection result of a phase current in each phase flowing through the rotating machine;
• a current command correction unit configured to correct a first d-axis current command and a first q-axis current command, to thereby output a second d-axis current command and a second q-axis current command;
• a current control unit configured to generate voltage commands on rotational coordinates so that the d-axis current matches the second d-axis current command and the q-axis current matches the second q-axis current command;
• a voltage application unit configured to superimpose, on the voltage commands on the rotational coordinates, a high-frequency voltage including a specific frequency component at a high frequency with respect to electrical angle frequency components in synchronization with the number of rotations of the rotating machine;
• and
• a voltage control unit which is configured to obtain the magnetic pole position estimated value, and to convert the voltage commands on the rotational coordinates after the superimposition by the voltage application unit to voltage commands on fixed coordinates, to thereby control voltages to be applied to the rotating machine,
• wherein the magnetic pole position estimation unit is configured to estimate the position of the magnetic pole based on a state quantity of the specific frequency component, and
• wherein the current command correction unit is configured to correct the first d-axis current command and the first q-axis current command so that a current amplitude of the electrical angle frequency components is equal to or larger than a half of a current amplitude of the specific frequency component, to thereby output the second d-axis current command and the second q-axis current command.
