摘要： An electric vehicle accessory motor drive power supply system (40) that utilizes a single power supply design to provide efficient variable speed motor control to both brushless and brush-type DC motors (42,44). The power supply system includes at least one of each type of motor along with a first DC-DC converter (46) that provides operating power to the brushless motor (42) and a second DC-DC converter (48) that provides operating power to the brush-type motor (44). Both converters (46,48) have a power input (52) connected to the electric vehicle's high voltage bus (50) and each includes a data input (54) for receiving a speed control signal (SC) indicative of desired motor speed, as well as an output (56) for providing a motor drive signal to its associated DC motor (42,44). Each of the converters (46,48) is operable in response to its received speed control signal to convert operating power from the high voltage bus (50) into a lower voltage variable motor drive signal that is provided to its associated motor (42,44) via its output (56). The variable drive signal can be either a variable DC voltage signal or a pulse-width modulated signal. With this arrangement, a single converter design, including a single speed control interface, can be utilized to operate both brush-type and brushless motors. Furthermore, the system permits more efficient operation of the brushless motors since it obviates the need for speed control electronics on the motor itself and therefore eliminates the relatively inefficient use of cascaded PWM stages.

摘要： An apparatus for controlling the load dump voltage of a permanent magnet (PM) alternator having a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) bridge. The apparatus includes a voltage divider, a peak detector, and a comparator. The voltage divider attenuates the bridge output voltage, which is further fed through a peak detector to hold the peak value for improved stability. The comparator changes states when the bridge output exceeds a predetermined voltage level (e.g., 55 volts) that is less than the load dump threshold limit (e.g., 60 volts), but greater than the normal operating voltage (e.g., 42 volts). The comparator output change-in-state deactivates a gate pulse generator, thereby suppressing further operation of the SCR bridge. Voltage transients that may otherwise occur at the bridge output for the remainder portion of a half cycle from the PM alternator are clamped using a varistor or zener diode.

摘要： A three region control strategy for a permanent magnet motor is presented. In a first control region, the permanent magnet motor is operated at, a 120° conduction square wave mode at reduced phase current, and below a no-load speed. The motor phase current commutation causes eddy current losses in the rotor magnets and core which are insignificant due to the low phase currents and relatively low rotor speed. Meanwhile, the inverter switching losses are kept low as two switches are in use (on/off) for each current commutation during the 120° conduction mode. In a second control region, the permanent magnet motor is operated at a 180° conduction sinusoidal wave mode with high phase currents. The 180° conduction sinusoidal wave mode minimizes the commutation loss. In a third control region, the permanent magnet motor is operated above its no-load speed or in a field weakening mode. At these higher speeds the slot ripple and commutation losses on the rotor increase, and the demagnetizing component of the armature reaction increases due to field weakening. Commutation losses are minimized through sinusoidal current operation. In the field weakening mode, the phase current conduction angle is set to 180° and the phase currents become sinusoidal.
摘要翻译：介绍了永磁电动机的三区控制策略。在第一控制区域中，永磁电动机以相对于减小的相电流在120°导通方波模式下工作，并且低于空载速度。电动机相电流换向导致转子磁体和磁芯中的涡流损耗由于低相电流和相对较低的转子转速而不显着。同时，在120°导通模式期间，对于每个电流换向，两个开关正在使用（开/关），逆变器开关损耗保持较低。在第二控制区域中，永磁电动机在具有高相电流的180°导通正弦波模式下操作。 180°导通正弦波模式使换向损耗最小化。在第三控制区域中，永磁电动机在空载速度或弱磁模式下运转。在这些更高的速度下，转子上的槽波动和换向损耗增加，并且由于磁场弱化，电枢反应的退磁分量增加。通过正弦电流操作使换向损耗最小化。在弱磁模式中，相电流导通角设定为180°，相电流变为正弦。

摘要： A method and device for controlling the torque of a permanent magnet (PM), synchronous, alternating-current (AC) motor, wherein the motor is powered by an inverter connected to a direct-current (DC) power source, is proposed. The method includes the steps of communicating a torque command signal from a user to a microcontroller, sensing the alternating-current phase currents of the motor and communicating electrical signals representing data concerning the phase currents to the microcontroller, sensing the position of the rotor of the motor and communicating electrical signals representing data concerning the position of the rotor to the microcontroller, and utilizing the microcontroller to implement a modulation technique to generate electrical switching signals for creating electrical sinusoidal waveforms. In addition, the method also includes the step of utilizing the microcontroller to implement a vector control technique to generate electrical control signals for adjusting the frequency and magnitude of the sinusoidal waveforms according to the phase current data, the rotor position data, the voltage supplied by the power source, and the torque command signal. In this particular step, generating the control signals includes the step of referring to look-up tables in an electronic memory only when operating the motor in a constant torque mode. Lastly, the method also includes the step of utilizing the microcontroller to communicate the switching signals for creating sinusoidal waveforms to the inverter. In this way, the inverter is able to generate and transmit sinusoidal waveforms, as dictated by the switching signals, to the motor for optimal torque control.
