A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927662B2) discloses a method and system for evaluating current sensor measurements in an electric machine system. The method involves acquiring current signals from sensors, measuring machine speed, shifting the current signals using a signal processing component with a tuning parameter based on machine speed, estimating phase differences, and determining the plausibility of the measurements. By comparing the phase difference to a threshold value, the system can assess the accuracy of the sensor measurements and evaluate sensor functionality.

Furthermore, the system includes a processing module that performs similar functions as the method, including assessing sensor plausibility and operating status based on the phase differences. The signal processing component is designed to shift current signals independently of frequency and without affecting amplitude, utilizing an all pass filter with a first-order transfer function. The tuning parameter is determined based on machine speed frequencies, enhancing the accuracy of the evaluation process. Overall, this patent introduces a comprehensive approach to evaluating current sensor measurements in electric machine systems, ensuring reliability and accuracy in assessing sensor performance.
