摘要: A motor drive system and method for determining an optimized efficiency of the motor drive system are provided. The motor drive system includes a system controller, a motor drive having includes an inverter configured to generate the AC power upon one or more motor leads, and an electric motor, which is to convert the AC power from the motor leads to rotational energy. A dynamometer may include a load coupled to the shaft and sensors to measure to measure operating characteristics such as torque and speed of the electric motor. The system controller is configured to generate a lookup table, with an entry describing an output current command for operating the inverter and the motor at a maximum system efficiency for a given combination rotational speed and output torque. Motor temperature may also be measured and used as an additional index into the lookup table.

摘要: A motor drive system for an electrified vehicle includes a DC source, such as a battery, and an inverter, which includes one or more phase drivers, each configured to switch current from the DC source to generate AC power upon one or more output terminals using a hybrid of two or more different solid-state switches, each having a corresponding voltage rating. A nine-switch inverter includes three phase drivers, each including high, low, and middle solid-state switches, with Si-MOSFET high and low switches having a first voltage rating of half of the rated voltage of the system, and with Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors rated to block a full rated voltage of the system used for the middle switches. A delay driver synchronizes timing between two different solid-state switches by energizing control terminals at different rates. The inverter can be operated using near-state pulse-width modulation (NSPWM) to reduce switching losses.

摘要: An electric drive module (e-drive module) for an electric motor vehicle and chain driven electric-drive (e-drive) gearbox therefor is provided. The e-drive gearbox has first and second chain members operably coupling an output shaft of an electric motor to a shaft of a driven output member. A first drive gear is rotatable with the output shaft of the electric motor. A first driven gear is coupled to the first drive gear via the first chain member. A second driven gear is coupled to the first driven gear via a common shaft and co-rotatable with the first driven gear. A second drive gear is coupled to the second driven gear via the second chain member. The respective rotational axes of the first and second drive gears and the first and second driven gears are parallel to each other.

摘要: A method and system for characterizing a state of health of a winding of an electric machine are provided. The winding may include one or more stator windings in an electric machine, for example, a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The method comprises: applying a voltage pulse to the winding; measuring a phase current signal of a current supplied to the winding; determining a high-frequency transient current based on the phase current signal. The state of health of the winding may be calculated as a function of change in frequency spectrum of the high-frequency transient current. The method may include calculating a plurality of packets using a wavelet packet decomposition of the high-frequency transient current; and determining one or both of: the state of health or a classification of degradation, using an indicator based upon at least one packet of the plurality of packets.

摘要: A power electronic converter supplies DC output power to an output bus for supplying a load, such as a battery. The power electronic converter includes a DC link capacitor configured to provide a DC link voltage with a ripple of 80 V peak-to-peak. The power electronic converter also includes a DC/DC stage having a DC/AC converter that includes one or more switches to selectively conduct current from the DC link bus to supply an AC power to a transformer. The switches of the DC/AC converter are mounted to an insulated metal substrate that is in thermal contact with a transformer housing for dissipating heat therefrom. A controller controls one or more switches of the DC/AC converter and varies a switching frequency responsive to the ripple of the DC link voltage.

摘要: A vehicle system includes an electric motor that also operates as a generator. A torque transfer mechanism is attached to the electric motor and a second torque transfer mechanism is connected via a disconnect mechanism. An AC compressor is attached to the first torque transfer mechanism via a clutch, which has an open position and a closed position. During recuperation, the second torque transfer mechanism is connected to the first torque transfer mechanism and the clutch is closed, and the compressor is driven by the motor. During stand-still, the second torque transfer mechanism is disconnected from the first torque transfer mechanism, and the compressor is driven by the motor. During drive operation, the second torque transfer mechanism is connected to the first torque transfer mechanism, and the clutch is open such that the compressor is not driven, but the system continues to provide cool air to the vehicle cabin.

摘要: A stator for an electromagnetic machine includes a plurality of bus bars of copper, each extending parallel to one another between a first end and a second end. A first circuit board abuts the first end of the bus bars and includes a first substrate and a first electrically conductive layer disposed thereupon with a plurality of first contact terminals in physical and electrical communication with each of the bus bars. A similar second circuit board abuts the second end of each of the bus bars and includes a second substrate and second contact terminals in physical and electrical communication with each of the bus bars. The substrates of the circuit boards are electrical insulators and are good conductors of heat. A heat sink abuts each of the substrates of the circuit boards for removing heat from the circuit boards and from the bus bars.
