A system and method for controlling a system that includes a variable speed compressor are described. The method can provide improved accuracy in the control of a system, for example, a heating, ventilating, and air condition (HVAC) system that includes a variable speed compressor, and can reduce a compressor cycling frequency of the compressor when a required capacity is below a minimum capacity of the compressor.

1. A system, comprising: a controller; anda compressor,the controller operates the compressor in operational states including: a unit off state, a startup state, and a running state,the controller is configured to(a) determine a required capacity of a conditioned space;(b) compare the required capacity determined in (a) with a minimum capacity of the compressor,wherein if the required capacity determined in (a) is greater than the minimum capacity of the compressor, then (c1) operate the compressor in the running state; andwherein if the required capacity determined (a) is less than the minimum capacity, (c2) cycle between each of the operational states based on the required capacity determined in (a). 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a supply fan, wherein the compressor is a variable speed compressor, and the supply fan and the variable speed compressor are controlled simultaneously. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational states further comprise a shutdown state, wherein in the unit off state, the compressor stays off so that the speed of the compressor is at 0 revolutions per second (rps), wherein in the startup state, the speed of the compressor ramps up at a constant rate from 0 rps until the speed reaches a startup speed of the compressor, wherein in the running state, the compressor is modulated between a minimum speed and a maximum speed, and wherein in the shutdown state, the compressor ramps down from the minimum speed to 0 rps. 4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a supply fan, wherein in the unit off state, the supply fan is off so that the speed of the supply fan is at 0 rps, wherein in the startup state, the supply fan operates at a minimum speed, wherein in the running state, the supply fan is modulated between a minimum speed and a maximum speed, and wherein the shutdown state, the supply fan operates at a minimum speed. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a supply fan, wherein the supply fan is a variable speed fan. 6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a supply fan, wherein the supply fan operates at a fixed speed. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein in (c2), a determination is made to operate the compressor in one of the operational states. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a thermostat, wherein in (a), the required capacity is based on a current reading of a dry-bulb temperature of the conditioned space by the thermostat and a predetermined temperature of the conditioned space. 9. A method of controlling a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes a controller and a compressor, the controller operates the compressor in operational states including: a unit off state, a startup state, and a running state, the method comprising (a) determining a required capacity of a conditioned space;(b) comparing the required capacity determined in (a) with a minimum capacity of the compressor,wherein if the required capacity determined in (a) is greater than the minimum capacity of the compressor, then(c1) operate the compressor in the running statewherein if the required capacity determined (a) is less than the minimum capacity of the compressor,(c2) cycle between each of the operational states based on the required capacity determined in (a). 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the HVAC system further includes a supply fan, the compressor and the supply fan are controlled simultaneously. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the operational states further comprise a shutdown state, wherein in the unit off state, the compressor stays off so that the speed of the compressor is at 0 revolutions per second (rps), wherein in the startup state, the speed of the compressor ramps up at a constant rate from 0 rps until the speed reaches a startup speed of the compressor, wherein in the running state, the compressor is modulated between a minimum speed and a maximum speed, and wherein in the shutdown state, the compressor ramps down from the minimum speed to 0 rps. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the HVAC system further includes a supply fan, wherein in the unit off state, the supply fan is off so that the speed of the fan is at 0 rps,wherein in the startup state, the supply fan operates at a minimum speed,wherein in the running state, the supply fan is modulated between a minimum speed and a maximum speed, andwherein the shutdown state, the supply operates at a minimum speed. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein in (c2), a determination is made to operate the compressor in one of the operational states. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein the HVAC system further includes a thermostat, wherein in (a), the required capacity is based on a current reading of a dry bulb temperature of the conditioned space by the thermostat and a predetermined temperature of the conditioned space. 15. A system, comprising: a controller; anda variable capacity compressor,the controller operates the variable capacity compressor in operational states including: a unit off state, a startup state, and a running state,the controller is configured to(a) determine a required capacity of a conditioned space;(b) compare the required capacity determined in (a) with a minimum capacity of the compressor,wherein if the required capacity determined in (a) is greater than the minimum capacity of the compressor, then (c1) operate the compressor in the running state; andwherein if the required capacity determined (a) is less than the minimum capacity, (c2) cycle between each of the operational states based on the required capacity determined in (a).
