    Abstract: A battery system for a vehicle includes multiple battery cells each configured to store charge for powering an electric vehicle, a high voltage bus electrically coupled with the multiple battery cells to provide power to an electric motor, and multiple cell monitoring modules each coupled with a corresponding one of the multiple battery cells, each cell monitoring module including a controller configured to monitor operation parameters of the corresponding one of the multiple battery cells. The system includes multiple DC-DC converters in a converter housing, each DC-DC converter electrically coupled with a corresponding one of the multiple battery cells outside of the converter housing, and a low voltage bus electrically connected between the multiple DC-DC converters in the converter housing and at least one vehicle electrical component outside of the converter housing. The low voltage bus is configured to provide low voltage power to at least one vehicle electrical component.

    Abstract: A generator system includes an AC machine including a plurality of armature coils and a rectifier circuit electrically coupled to the armature coils. The rectifier circuit includes a plurality of switches. The generator system additionally includes a sensor device electrically coupled to a control circuit. The sensor device is configured to determine a rotor position of the AC machine. The control circuit determines a desired phase angle between a phase current and an induced voltage of the AC machine and provides a control signal to the rectifier circuit to switch the switches on and off to convert an AC signal to a DC signal and to control the rotor position of the AC machine to achieve the desired phase angle.

    Abstract: A battery system includes a battery pack configured to be selectively connected to an output terminal of the battery system and a DCFC receptacle, a first contactor that is connected between the DCFC receptacle and a first terminal of the battery pack, and a first SSR connected in series with the first contactor between the DCFC receptacle and the first terminal of the battery pack. The first SSR has an open state where current from the DCFC receptacle to the battery pack is interrupted and a dosed state where current flows from the DCFC receptacle to the battery pack, the first SSR is configured to transition from the dosed state to the open state prior to the first contactor, and current only flows from the DCFC receptacle to the battery pack when both the first contactor and the first SSR are in the closed state.

    Abstract: A power control system comprises a battery system including N battery packs. A plurality of contactors selectively connects N battery packs of a battery system in a first configuration supplying a first voltage level, a second configuration supplying a second voltage level, and a disconnected configuration. M power inverters connect the battery system to M electric machines, respectively. A controller is configured to determine when to transition between the first configuration and the second configuration. The controller is configured to transition between the first configuration and the second configuration by causing one of a positive torque transient and a negative torque transient to be generated by at least one of the M electric machines, transitioning the battery system from one of the first configuration and the second configuration to the disconnected configuration, and transitioning from the disconnected configuration to the other one of the first configuration and the second configuration.
