FAILURE DETERMINATION DEVICE FOR ROTATING MACHINE CONTROL DEVICE AND FAILURE DETERMINATION METHOD

摘要

Provided are a failure determination device and method for a rotating machine control device, which are capable of detecting failure of a sensor configured to detect a rotational position of a rotating machine while the rotating machine is in operation. A rotation angle estimator calculates a rotation angle estimation value. A relationship between the rotation angle estimation value (θest), and a first angle detection value (θ1) and a second angle detection value (θ2), which are obtained from output signals of angle sensors configured to detect a rotational position of a rotating machine, is monitored while the rotating machine is in operation. In this manner, failure of the angle sensors, which are configured to detect the rotational position of the rotating machine, can be always detected even while the rotating machine is in operation.
