    摘要: A control module comprises software instructions for execution by an electronic data processor. An inductance estimator is configured to estimate direct inductance and quadrature inductance associated with the electric machine based on a first set of equations that assume constant rotor resistance and constant magnetic flux. A torque estimator is configured to estimate an observed torque associated with a rotor of the electric machine based a commanded direct-axis voltage and a commanded quadrature-axis voltage, where the observed torque is proportional to the observed power consumption of the electric machine. A pulse-width-modulation (PWM) module is configured to provide pulse-width modulated signals to the electric machine based on the commanded direct-axis voltage and a commanded quadrature-axis voltage. A back-electromotive force adjustment is derived from an estimated, observed torque and a commanded torque.

    摘要: An energy management system (11) for a ground vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine (10) for providing a primary rotational energy via an engine shaft (56), a motor or electric machine (12) configured to receive a portion of the primary rotational energy or to provide secondary rotational energy, an inverter (34) configured to control a rotor of the electric machine and a hydraulic pump (20) for supplying hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic system load (22). A rotatable pump shaft or pump rotor of the hydraulic pump is coupled or decoupled selectively to the engine shaft, the rotor, or both for receipt of at least a portion of the primary rotational energy, the secondary rotational energy, or both. A vehicle controller establishes a commanded rotor speed for the motor or electric machine based on a target pump rotational speed of a pump rotor or pump shaft for operation of the hydraulic pump at a set point or within an operational region consistent with the hydraulic system load or estimated work task of the vehicle for one or more sampling intervals, where the set point or operational region is defined by a hydraulic pump flow rate versus head characterization curve and where the target pump rotational speed can be independent of a rotational speed of the engine shaft in a first mode.

    摘要: Each one of the secondary converters has a corresponding transformer having a primary winding associated with a primary alternating current (AC) signal and a secondary winding associated with a secondary alternating current (AC) signal. A secondary controller provides secondary control signals to the secondary semiconductor switches of the secondary converters with one or more time-synchronized, target phase offsets with respect to an observed phase of the alternating current signal (e.g., primary alternating current signal or the secondary alternating current signal) to provide the target phase offset (or targeted phase offsets) commensurate with or sufficient to support a required electrical energy transfer from the primary controller to the corresponding secondary controller (or secondary controllers).

    摘要: An energy management control module is configured for communication with the vehicle controller. The energy management control module is configured to generate generator command data for the generator in a power command mode. In one embodiment, the energy management control module supports a first mode and a second mode. A first mode comprises the power command mode and a stored power extraction mode that are mutually exclusive modes for any sampling interval. In the power command mode of the first mode, the energy management controller is configured to generate generator command data for the generator based on a commanded motor torque and an energy storage power command (e.g., SOC command data) if the primary rotational energy of the internal combustion engine meets or exceeds the total vehicle load for a sampling interval.

    摘要: A first inverter has a set of first output phases coupled to a grid voltage source. A second inverter has a set of second output phases coupled to the grid voltage source. A phase measurement device is adapted to measure at least one reference phase of the grid voltage source at a reference phase point. An electronic data processor is configured to determine an observed phase difference between the reference phase point and an observed position sample of one of a pulse-width-modulation carrier signal of the first inverter, the second inverter, or each parallel-coupled inverter. The electronic data processor is configured to determine a target phase difference between the reference phase point and target position sample of one of the pulse-width-modulation carrier signal. The electronic data processor is configured to determine a frequency adjustment to the pulse-width-modulation carrier signal of the first inverter, the second inverter, or all parallel-coupled inverters, based on a difference between the observed phase difference and the target phase difference.
