Abstract

A motor control device of an embodiment includes a power supply unit that supplies AC power to a motor; a current detection unit that detects a current flowing through a winding of the motor; a speed and electric angle estimation unit that estimates a rotation speed and an electric angle of the motor based on a voltage outputted by the power supply unit and the current; a coordinate conversion unit that obtains an excitation current and a torque current based on the current and the electric angle; a torque current command determination unit that substitutes a predicted torque calculated based on a mechanical motion equation into a torque component current command value calculated based on a torque expression of a vector control coordinate, to generate a torque component current command value for bringing a difference between an inputted speed command and an estimated speed closer to zero; and a model prediction control unit that applies, to a plurality of predicted currents including a current change ratio determined depending on each of a plurality of switching patterns based on a space voltage vector that are able to be outputted by the power supply unit, an evaluation function to evaluate a size of a difference from a predicted current corresponding to each of the torque component current command value and an excitation component current command value inputted from outside, and that selects and outputs a switching pattern.
