Abstract:
An electric vehicle control device according to one embodiment includes a plurality of motors capable of transmitting motive power to a wheel of an electric vehicle and an inverter that supplies electric power to drive the motors. A controller controls the inverter and compares, when the electric vehicle drives under a certain velocity condition, a q-axis voltage feedforward value VqFF and a q-axis voltage command value Vq* used for controlling the driving of the motors, to detect an occurrence of miswire between the motors and the inverter when VqFF ≥ 1.5·Vq* is satisfied. The controller can thus detect a miswire between the motors and the inverter which are mounted on the electric vehicle to drive the wheels of the electric vehicle.
Abstract:
A controlling apparatus for a power converter 10 such as an inverter that operates a plurality of induction motors 41 parallely connected to each other and mechanically coupled to each other includes: current detection means 30 for detecting an output current of the power converter 10; current control means 90 for generating a voltage command value to make the current detection value equal to a current command value; voltage command amplitude calculation means 100 for calculating an amplitude of the voltage command value; storage means 110 for storing, for each sampling period, a combination of a primary frequency of the induction motors 41 and the amplitude of the voltage command value at that time; and gradient detection means 120 for calculating, according to stored information from the storage means 110, a value that is an increase in the amplitude of the voltage command value that is divided by an increase in the primary frequency, and for outputting a failure signal upon determining, when a result of the division is less than a predetermined reference value, that the plurality of induction motors 41 include at least one induction motor 41 whose phase sequence includes incorrect wiring with respect to the power converter 10.
Abstract:
A damage detecting device according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a first speed generator, a second speed generator, a first waveform shaping section, a second waveform shaping section, and a determining section. The determining section compares a second rectangular wave shaped by the second waveform shaping section and a first rectangular wave shaped by the first waveform shaping section and, if the first rectangular wave is not output while the second rectangular wave is output, determines that a supporting device for an armature shaft is damaged or worn.
Abstract:
A plurality of power conversion apparatuses disposed in a traveling direction of a plurality of vehicles coupled to one another each includes a conversion unit to convert electric power; a heat dissipation unit to dissipate heat that is generated in the conversion unit to a traveling wind; and a control unit to control the electric power to be converted. A control unit in a first power conversion apparatus is disposed forward, in the traveling direction, of a heat dissipation unit in the first power conversion apparatus, and increases or decreases electric power to be converted in a conversion unit of the first power conversion apparatus in accordance with at least one of information of a number of other heat dissipation units dissipating heat to the traveling wind and information of a distance to a forwardly adjacent one of the other heat dissipation units in the traveling direction.
