Field Oriented Control of Dual Mechanical Port Machine for Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A dual mechanical port machine (DMPM) is used as an electrically variable transmission (EVT) in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). In the conventional HEV, this machine is replaced by a planetary gearbox and two electric machines and makes this structure simpler. This paper presents field oriented control (FOC) for DMPM. For HEV application, drive efficiency and wide operating speed range are important. The control strategy, which uses the maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) method at low speed and flux weakening (FW) method at high speed are proposed. The model of DMPM considering the magnetic coupling between two air gaps has been developed in MATLAB/Simulink and the proposed control strategy is applied to DMPM. The simulation results have been provided with a brief discussion at the end

Flexible Energy Conversion Control Strategy for Brushless Dual-Mechanical-Port Dual-Electrical-Port Machine in Hybrid Vehicles

Due to the advantages of high torque density and compact mechanical structure, brushless dual-mechanical-port dual-electrical-port (BLDD) PM machine has become a promising-alternative in series-parallel HEVs. However, two sets of windings in the same core may also result in flux cross coupling, which deteriorate control performance. Through special design of the magnetic circuit, the two sets of windings in the stator side are decoupled. In this paper, the mathematical model of BLDD-PM machine is analyzed firstly. Then, based on energy management system and the model of machine, the decoupled vector control algorithm for outer and inner rotor is developed. Next, common operation states under city road condition for hybrid vehicles have been summarized. According to operation state of HEV, the power flow analysis in the BLDD-PM machine system has been done. To validate the analysis results, experimental test under different operation condition has been conducted. Test results show good control performance of the BLDD-PM prototype and verify the correctness of analysis. Index Terms-BLDD-PM machine, power flow analysis, HEV
