摘要： A vapor-compression multi-evaporator cooling system comprises a cooling control system and two or more evaporators each coupled to an expansion valve. Each evaporator is selectively enabled or disabled during operation. When an evaporator is enabled, the evaporator transfers heat into a working fluid within the system. When an evaporator is disabled, the evaporator does not exchange any appreciable amount of heat within the system. The cooling control system includes a cooling controller, an adjustable compressor, a condenser, and a variable speed fan that provides selectable amounts of cooling to the condenser. During operation, the cooling controller adjusts the compressor operation and fan speed to maintain stable operation of the cooling system. To compensate for enabling or disabling of evaporators, the cooling controller adjusts compressor operation and fan speed to provide more or less compression and more or less condenser cooling to maintain stable and efficient operation of the cooling system.

摘要： Pre-loading drivetrain to minimize electric vehicle rollback and increase drive responsiveness. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes (a) detecting that an electric vehicle is stationary, a brake is engaged, and an accelerator is not engaged, and (b) controlling a vehicle motor to transition from a first mode to a second mode in response to (a). In the first mode, the motor is controlled to output torque in response to the accelerator position, and in the second mode, the motor is controlled to output torque sufficient to preload the electric vehicle. The method also includes (c) detecting the brake is transitioning away from being engaged and the accelerator is not engaged, and (d) controlling the motor to operate in a third mode in response to (c). In the third mode the motor is controlled to output torque sufficient to maintain the electric vehicle stationary.

摘要： A system comprises a plurality of power converters, a plurality of energy storage systems, a first common node, a second common node, and zero-reference voltage node. Each power converter is coupled between one energy storage system and the first and second common nodes. The system operates to regulate power between the power converters and the first and second common nodes. Each power converter is a bi-directional power converter and each energy storage system is a battery pack. In one example, the first common node is regulated to a voltage VSPAN, and the second common node is regulated to a voltage VSCN which is the mean of all voltages output by the battery packs. In another example, the first common node is regulated to a voltage −VSPAN, and the second common node is regulated to a voltage +VSPAN. No power converter processes more than voltage VSPAN yielding high-efficiency power conversion.

摘要： A system comprises an EVSE and an electric vehicle having a precharge mode. To charge a battery, the vehicle is connected to the EVSE. In some cases, the battery is unable to energize power buses. For example, if the battery is too cold and has insufficient charge, then the battery will not energize the power buses. If the battery cannot energize the power buses, then a precharge mode is enabled. During the precharge mode, charge is pumped onto two power buses until a setpoint voltage is reached. For example, a precharge circuit pumps charge onto one power bus and a power converter pumps charge from that bus onto a second bus. Once the setpoint voltage is reached, a current source charger is enabled, and energy stored on both buses is used to facilitate the turn-on of the charger, the precharge mode is disabled, and the EVSE charges the battery.

摘要： A characteristic, such as State Of Health (SOH) or State Of Charge (SOC), is estimated for an Energy Storage System (ESS) by supplying a pre-determined signal to the ESS, measuring a response signal output by the ESS, and obtaining an impedance spectrum of the ESS. In one example, the ESS is one of several electrochemical battery packs of an electric vehicle. The pre-determined signal is a current signal generated by a switching power converter that transfers charge from the battery pack to other battery packs or transfers charge from the other battery packs onto the battery pack. The pre-determined signal is generated without disrupting any load supplied by the battery packs. The battery pack outputs a voltage signal in response to receiving the pre-determined current signal. A processor obtains an impedance spectrum using the current and voltage signals, and thereby obtains an SOH and SOC estimate of the battery.

摘要： A system includes a power source, a power converter, a leakage current cancelation circuit, a load, and a ground node. The power converter is coupled to the power source and supplies the load. During operation of the power converter, a common mode current flows from the load to the ground node via a leakage capacitance. The leakage current cancelation circuit receives at least one signal indicative of the common mode current and generates a leakage cancelation current that is injected into at least one node of the system. The leakage cancelation current has a magnitude opposite a magnitude of the common mode current. For example, the leakage current cancelation circuit receives supply voltage signals output by the power converter, and generates and supplies the leakage cancelation current onto input nodes of the power converter such that a current level on the ground node is between −3.0 milliamperes and +3.0 milliamperes.

摘要： Charging apparatus and methods are provided that support multiple charging devices. In an embodiment, a charging apparatus includes a secondary signal generator (SSG) and an output circuit. The SSG receives charging control signals and generates one or more secondary charging control signals. The output circuit outputs the charging control signals to a primary charging device and the one or more secondary charging control signals to one or more secondary charging devices, thereby enabling the use of multiple charging devices in battery applications. In an embodiment, the secondary charging signals are pulse width modulated to control the current output of the secondary charging devices to avoid over-current conditions.
