ELECTRIC MACHINE SPEED DEPENDENT VARIABLE FREQUENCY PULSED TORQUE CONTROL FOR ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239328 titled 'ELECTRIC MACHINE SPEED DEPENDENT VARIABLE FREQUENCY PULSED TORQUE CONTROL FOR ELECTRIC MACHINE
The abstract describes systems and methods for commanding an electric drive system for an electric or hybrid vehicle. In one example, the drive system is commanded by a controller that supplies a pulsed torque command varying in frequency as a function of electric machine speed when a driver requests a constant driver demand torque.
- Simplified Explanation:
- The patent application discusses controlling an electric drive system in vehicles. - A controller provides a pulsed torque command that changes in frequency based on the electric machine speed. - This system ensures a constant driver demand torque is maintained.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Controller supplying pulsed torque command. - Varying frequency based on electric machine speed. - Ensuring constant driver demand torque.
- Potential Applications:
- Electric and hybrid vehicles. - Automotive industry. - Transportation sector.
- Problems Solved:
- Maintaining constant driver demand torque. - Efficient control of electric drive systems.
- Benefits:
- Improved performance. - Enhanced efficiency. - Better control over torque.
- Commercial Applications:
- Optimizing electric drive systems in vehicles. - Potential for use in electric vehicle manufacturing. - Impact on transportation industry.
- Questions about Electric Drive System Technology:
1. How does the pulsed torque command system improve vehicle performance? - The pulsed torque command system optimizes torque delivery, enhancing overall vehicle performance.
2. What are the key advantages of varying torque frequency based on electric machine speed? - By adjusting torque frequency, the system can better respond to driver demand and improve efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for commanding an electric drive system for an electric or hybrid vehicle are described. in one example, the drive system is commanded by a controller that supplies a pulsed torque command that varies in frequency as a function of electric machine speed when a driver of a vehicle requests a constant driver demand torque.
