Abstract
A drive system with an open-end winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (OW-PMSM) fed by a dual inverter and powered by two independent power sources is suitable for electric vehicles. By using an energy conversion device as primary power source and an energy storage element as secondary power source, this configuration can not only lower the DC-bus voltage and extend the driving range, but also handle the power sharing between two power sources without a DC/DC (direct current to direct current) converter. Based on a drive system model with voltage vector distribution, this paper proposes a desired power sharing calculation method and three different voltage vector distribution methods. By their selection strategy the optimal voltage vector distribution method can be selected according to the operating conditions. On the basis of the integral synthesizing of the desired voltage vector, the proposed voltage vector distribution method can reduce the inverter switching frequency while making the primary power source follow its desired output power. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed methods, which improve the primary power source’s energy efficiency by regulating its output power and lessen inverter switching loss by reducing the switching frequency. This system also provides an approach to the energy management function of electric vehicles.
Highlights
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) has been widely used as drive motor on electric vehicles for its high power density, outstanding low-speed torque output and high efficiency [1,2,3,4,5].the back EMF increases rapidly along with motor speed due to the uncontrollable constant magnetic field of the permanent magnet, which means a higher DC-bus voltage and a high-level flux-weakening control are required [6,7,8]
To validate to proposed control methods, we ran a simulation of the open-end winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (OW-PMSM) drive system
This paper, aims at an OW-PMSM drive system fed by dual inverter for electric vehicles, in which each inverter is powered by an independent power source
Summary
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) has been widely used as drive motor on electric vehicles for its high power density, outstanding low-speed torque output and high efficiency [1,2,3,4,5]. The back EMF (electromotive force) increases rapidly along with motor speed due to the uncontrollable constant magnetic field of the permanent magnet, which means a higher DC-bus (direct current) voltage and a high-level flux-weakening control are required [6,7,8]. Limited by the restricted energy of power battery with present technology, an extra energy source is often required to reach an acceptable driving range.
