System and method for controlling torque in an electrical machine

摘要

System and method for controlling the output torque of an electrical machine include a torque controller operable for receiving a motor input command, representative of a desired output torque, and generating a drive command to direct a motor to produce a predetermined output torque based on the motor input command. Further, the torque controller may include a sensor system for generating a feedback signal representative of an actual output torque of the motor. Additionally, the torque controller includes an input modulator and a speed modulator for adjusting the drive command based on the feedback signal and based on the motor input command to control a value of the predetermined output torque and to control a rate at which the predetermined output torque reaches the desired output torque.
