Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Stromrichterschaltung (4), die wenigstens zwei Submodule (22) in Reihenschaltung, die über eine Induktivität (20) elektrische Leistung aus einer eine Gleichspannung (16) abgebenden Leistungsquelle (8) bezieht aufweist, umfasst. Dabei weist jedes Submodul (22) eingangsseitig eine einphasige Halbbrücke (34) und lastseitig eine einphasige Vollbrücke (36) auf, wobei die Halbbrücke (34) und die Vollbrücke (36) gleichspannungsseitig sowie parallel hierzu ein Zwischenkreiskondensator (38) geschaltet sind. Ferner wird in jedem Submodul zur Abgabe einer elektrischen Leistung an einen elektrischen Verbraucher (6) eine am Zwischenkreiskondensator (38) abfallende Zwischenkreiskondensatorspannung (60) basierend auf einer Sollspannung wechselgerichtet. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Zwischenkreiskondensatorspannung (60) basierend auf der Sollspannung eingestellt.
Abstract:
An ECU estimates an output allowable power (Pmax) of a power storage device based on the temperature and SOC of the power storage device (S40). The ECU also calculates a threshold power (Pth) based on the power required to start an engine (S50). When the ECU determines that the output allowable power (Pmax) is lower than the threshold power (Pth) (YES at S60), the up-converter is controlled such that the boosting rate of the up-converter is restricted to be below a prescribed value (S70).
Abstract:
An upper limit value setting unit (52) of a control device (30) conducts integration on the change in battery power (Pb), and determines whether the integrated value is lower than a preset first threshold value (A) (negative value) (step S30). When determination is made that the integrated value is lower than the first threshold value (A), and the battery power difference is lower than the second threshold value (ΔP kW) (negative value) (step S40), the upper limit value setting unit (52) sets Vup2 that is lower than the general Vup1 as the upper limit value of the inverter input voltage command (step S50).
Abstract:
A voltage regulation system (10) maintains the output voltage of a permanent magnet generator (14) at an essentially constant level. The stator coils (CA1-CA12) located within the permanent magnet generator are divided into a number of sub-coils (CA1a-CA12b). A buck/boost voltage (VGG) can be applied to selected sub-coils such that the output voltage generated by the permanent magnet generator is increased or decreased. A number of switches (SW1-SW36) are connected to the sub-coils to allow the sub-coils to be connected in a number of different configurations. Connecting the sub-coils in a particular configuration and applying a buck/boost voltage to selected sub-coils based on the monitored output voltage allows the voltage regulation system to maintain an essentially constant output voltage.
Abstract:
A controller for a vehicle including at least one motor driving wheels, an inverter driving the motor, and a boosting converter supplying a dc power supply current to the inverter, is provided with a control portion performing rectangular wave control and non-rectangular wave control on the inverter in a switched manner. The control portion has an emergency switching condition for switching control from the rectangular wave control to the non-rectangular wave control, as a determination reference, and when the emergency switching condition is satisfied while the rectangular wave control is being executed (YES at step S5), the control portion instructs the boosting converter to lower target output voltage (S7). Preferably, the control portion determines that the emergency switching condition is satisfied when a q-axis current supplied from the inverter to the motor exceeds a prescribed threshold value.
Abstract:
A boost converter (12) boosts a DC voltage of a DC power supply (B). An inverter (14) converts the output voltage of the boost converter into an AC voltage. An AC motor (M1) is driven by the output voltage of the inverter (14). A control device (30) which controls the boost converter (12) reduces an output voltage instruction value of the boost converter (12) in the case where the rotation speed of the AC motor (M1) is decreased and an absolute value of a variation rate of the rotation speed is not less than a predetermined value. The inverter (14) is controlled in the control mode selected from a plurality of control modes including three modes of a sine wave PWM control mode, an overmodulation PWM control mode and a rectangular wave control mode. The control device (30) of the boost converter reduces the output voltage instruction value of the boost converter (12) only in the case where the control mode of the inverter (14) is the rectangular wave control mode or the overmodulation control mode.
Abstract:
A controller obtains a planned travel distance from a current position of a vehicle to a preset charging point from a car navigation system (S20), and based on the obtained planned travel distance, sets upper and lower limit values for controlling SOC of an electric storage lower as it comes closer to the charging point (S30). The controller controls the SOC of the electric storage such that the SOC is within the set upper and lower limits of SOC control (S40).
