    Abstract: A method of controlling an electric machine having a separately excitable rotor and stator includes pulsing the electric machine and controlling the electric machine to an OFF state. Pulsing the electric machine includes exiting the rotor with direction current and the stator with a stator biasing current at the same time to generate magnetic flux in the rotor via two separate paths. Pulsing the electric machine may also include terminating the stator basing current when a desired magnetic flux is generated in the rotor. Pulsing the electric machine may include proving a stator flux to the stator such that the electric machine provides a pulse torque.

    Abstract: A variety of methods, controllers and electric machine systems are described that facilitate pulsed control of electric machines to improve the energy efficiency of the electric machine when conditions warrant. Selected transitions between pulsing output levels are controlled to provide a cubic or higher order transition torque profile. In various implementations, cubic, quintic or higher order transition profiles are use. The use of such transition torque profiles can improve NVH characteristics of the electric machine while providing energy efficient pulse transitions.

    Abstract: A method of predicting torque modulation parameters of an electric machine based on operating conditions of the electric machine includes generating a data set for torque modulation parameters of an electric machine for the different operating conditions of the electric machine. The method also includes relating the torque modulation parameters to the operating conditions of the electric machine with a model and loading the model into a controller of the electric machine. The method also includes predicting the torque modulation parameters of the electric machine for the operating conditions of the electric machine using the model in real-time. The method may include adjusting the torque modulation parameters of the electric machine based on the predicted torque modulation parameters.

    Abstract: A variety of methods, controllers and electric machine systems are described for pulse control of electric machines (e.g., electric motors and generators). To improve the energy conversion efficiency of the machine, pulse control involves determining if the machine should operate in a continuous mode or pulse mode, and if the latter, defining a magnitude, duty cycle, and frequency for the pulses. One or more tables, indexing by a wide range of speeds and torque requests, is/are used to define the pulsing frequency or a pulsing frequency pattern.

    Abstract: Modulated pulse control of electric machines to deliver a desired output in a more energy efficient manner by either (a) operating the electric machine in a continuous mode when a requested torque demand is greater than the peak efficiency torque of the electric machine or (b) in a pulsed modulation mode when the requested torque demand is less than the peak efficiency torque of the electric machine. When operating in the pulsed modulation mode, the inverter may be deactivated to further improve the system efficiency when field weakening is not required to mitigate or eliminate generation of a retarding torque in situations when Back Electromagnetic Force (BEMF) exceeds a supply voltage for the inverter of the machine.
