SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SINGLE CHANNEL FAULT ENCODING FOR INVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106378 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SINGLE CHANNEL FAULT ENCODING FOR INVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The system described in the abstract is a sophisticated inverter for converting DC power from a battery to AC power to drive a motor. The inverter includes a point-of-use controller and a phase controller to detect faults, determine fault types, encode fault response groups, transmit fault response groups, receive encoded fault response groups, decode fault response groups, and output decoded fault response groups.

• Point-of-use controller:

   - Detects faults
   - Determines fault types
   - Determines fault response groups
   - Encodes fault response groups
   - Transmits encoded fault response groups via a communication interface

• Phase controller:

   - Receives encoded fault response groups from the point-of-use controller via the communication interface
   - Determines the fault response group
   - Decodes the determined fault response group
   - Outputs the decoded fault response group

Original Abstract Submitted

a system comprises: an inverter configured to convert dc power from a battery to ac power to drive a motor, wherein the inverter includes: a point-of-use controller configured to: detect a fault; determine a fault type of the detected fault from among n fault types; determine a fault response group to which the determined fault type belongs from among m fault response groups; encode the determined fault response group; and transmit the encoded fault response group via a communication interface; and a phase controller configured to: receive the encoded fault response group from the point-of-use controller via the communication interface; determine the fault response group; decode the determined fault response group; and output the decoded fault response group.
