Abstract:
Control mode switching determination is made as a part of a main loop (control period for overall control of an AC electric motor. When switching from the rectangular wave voltage control mode to PWM control mode is determined, the change in voltage phase of the rectangular wave voltage is inhibited from the timing of control mode switching determination until the next execution of the main loop until the timing at which the control mode is actually switched, to maintain voltage phase of the rectangular wave voltage at the time of control mode switching determination. Consequently, in a drive controller for an AC electric motor allowing switching between control modes, control mode can appropriately be switched without destabilizing the operation of the AC electric motor.

Abstract:
A triangular-wave current flows through a reactor of a DC/DC converter for converting voltages between increased and reduced levels. Surges are reduced, which are developed in an output voltage serving as a control voltage when the triangular-wave current changes across a zero value at which the current direction is changed. When a primary current flowing through the reactor changes across 0 [A] (zero value) at which the direction is changed, within an adjustment range, a feedback coefficient by which to multiply the error between the control voltage and a target voltage is multiplied by k (k>1) so as to increase a feedback amount. Surges developed in the control voltage due to a dead time when the primary current changes across 0 [A] are reduced.
Abstract:
An ECU activates a shutdown permission signal and provides it to an AND gate when a shutdown signal is inactive. Thus, when an abnormality sensing device does not sense an abnormality, the ECU always keeps the shutdown permission signal active. The AND gate performs logical AND between a signal provided from the abnormality sensing device and the shutdown permission signal to provide the shutdown signal to inverters. When a limp-home run permission signal becomes active while the shutdown signal is active, the ECU inactivates the shutdown permission signal.
Abstract:
A power supply device for a vehicle includes a battery, a power line (power supply line and ground line, a connection unit, a charger that is an electric power supply unit, an accessory load, a voltage sensor and a control device. When the accessory load is operating, the control device sends signals to the connection unit to turn off all of three system main relays. Thereby, battery is electrically disconnected from charger. The control device further produces a power command based on a predetermined target voltage and a voltage detected by the voltage sensor such that the detected voltage attains the target voltage.

A vehicle (100) includes a motor generator (MG) and an inverter (14) driving the motor generator (MG). A power source apparatus for the vehicle includes a battery (B) as an electric storage device, a step-up converter (12) stepping up a voltage of the electric storage device and supplying it to the inverter, and a controller (30) indicating a target step-up voltage in accordance with a target state of operation of the motor generator (MG) to the step-up converter (12). If it is determined that a current operation state signal of the motor generator (MG) is abnormal, the controller (30) increases the target step-up voltage to a maximum value. Preferably, the vehicle (100) further includes a resolver (20) detecting rotation speed of a rotor of motor generator (MG). The controller (30) determines that the operation state signal is abnormal if an output of the resolver (20) does not satisfy a prescribed condition.

A power supply system for driving a vehicle includes a battery, a boost converter boosting the voltage of the battery, a capacitor to which the voltage boosted by the boost converter is applied across the electrodes, system main relays provided between the capacitor and the output of the boost converter for connection and disconnection between the capacitor and the boost converter, and a control device controlling the boost converter and the system main relays. The control device, after giving an instruction for disconnection to the system main relays, causes the boost converter to change the voltage of the output to determine whether the system main relays are normally disconnected.
