Embodiments of the present disclosure include a motor controller with a processor and a machine readable medium. The medium includes instructions that, when loaded and executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an estimated or sensed speed of a motor, extract a mechanical frequency component from the estimated or sensed speed, transform the mechanical frequency into direct quadrature (DQ) domain at the mechanical frequency, control the mechanical frequency to zero, and generate a dampening signal for torque based upon the controlled mechanical frequency.

Closed loop torque compensation for compressor applications

A closed loop flux weakening method and apparatus are provided. The closed loop flux weakening apparatus may include a difference circuit that obtains a difference between a q-axis reference voltage and a q-axis voltage, a controller that converts the difference between the q-axis reference voltage and the q-axis voltage into a d-axis current of a stator of the motor, and a summation circuit that obtains a d-axis reference current by adding the d-axis current of the stator of the motor and a feed forward d-axis current of the stator of the motor.
