Another match method focuses on improving available space considering reasonable layout of vehicle to enlarge rated energy capacity for on-board energy storage unit, which can keep the longitudinal dynamics performance almost unchanged but can’t reach lowest fuel consumption. Considering the characteristics of driving motor, method of electric powertrain matching utilizing conventional longitudinal dynamics for driving system and cut-and-try method for energy storage system is proposed for passenger cars converted from traditional ones. Through combining the utilization of vehicle space which contributes to the on-board energy amount, vehicle longitudinal performance requirements, vehicle equivalent fuel consumption level, passive safety requirements and maximum driving range requirement together, a comprehensive optimal match method of electric powertrain for battery-powered electric vehicle is raised. In simulation, the vehicle model and match method is built in Matlab/simulink, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) is chosen as a test condition. The simulation results show that 2.62% of regenerative energy and 2% of energy storage efficiency are increased relative to the traditional method. The research conclusions provide theoretical and practical solutions for electric powertrain matching for modern battery-powered electric vehicles especially for those converted from traditional ones, and further enhance dynamics of electric vehicles.展开更多

A...For a distributed drive electric vehicle(DDEV) driven by four in-wheel motors, advanced vehicle dynamic control methods can be realized easily because motors can be controlled independently, quickly and precisely. And direct yaw-moment control(DYC) has been widely studied and applied to vehicle stability control. Good vehicle handling performance: quick yaw rate transient response, small overshoot, high steady yaw rate gain, etc, is required by drivers under normal conditions, which is less concerned, however. Based on the hierarchical control methodology, a novel control system using direct yaw moment control for improving handling performance of a distributed drive electric vehicle especially under normal driving conditions has been proposed. The upper-loop control system consists of two parts: a state feedback controller, which aims to realize the ideal transient response of yaw rate, with a vehicle sideslip angle observer; and a steering wheel angle feedforward controller designed to achieve a desired yaw rate steady gain. Under the restriction of the effect of poles and zeros in the closed-loop transfer function on the system response and the capacity of in-wheel motors, the integrated time and absolute error(ITAE) function is utilized as the cost function in the optimal control to calculate the ideal eigen frequency and damper coefficient of the system and obtain optimal feedback matrix and feedforward matrix. Simulations and experiments with a DDEV under multiple maneuvers are carried out and show the effectiveness of the proposed method: yaw rate rising time is reduced, steady yaw rate gain is increased, vehicle steering characteristic is close to neutral steer and drivers burdens are also reduced. The control system improves vehicle handling performance under normal conditions in both transient and steady response. State feedback control instead of model following control is introduced in the control system so that the sense of control intervention to drivers is relieved.展开更多

The former is based on a fractional-order proportional-integral(PI) unit, with a non-integer order integral action, while the latter can be of integer or non-integer type. To satisfy robustness and dynamic performance specifications, the feedback controller is designed by a loop-shaping technique in the frequency domain. In particular, optimality of the feedback system is pursued to achieve input-output tracking. The setpoint pre-filter is designed by a dynamic inversion technique minimizing the difference between the ideal synthesized command signal(i.e., a smooth monotonic response) and the prefilter step response. Experimental tests validate the methodology and compare the performance of the proposed architecture with well-established control schemes that employ the classical PIbased symmetrical optimum method with a smoothing pre-filter.展开更多

In order to get the hemisphere space scattering characteristic on the sample surface, usually a motor drives the sample tilting, then the incident zenith angle is changed and needs to be the compensated by another motor. We mathematically deduce the expression of compensation angle when the incident zenith angle is changed by the rotation of motor. After the incident angle is compensated, the scattering zenith angle and azimuth angle are deduced too. The uncertainty of the system is 0.75%. Scattering measurements are performed on copper sample with visible light under different temperatures.展开更多

文摘Electric drive systems for new energy cars are complex systems that should have multivariate,strong coupling,and non-linear characteristics and should also involve the multiphysics field.The singular simulation software used at present in the modeling of electric drive systems cannot simulate the influences of all the physics fields on the operating system.The co-simulation model used in this paper was based on a specific type of car.The motor control algorithm model was built in MATLAB/Simulink,the electromagnetic finite element model of the motor was built in ANSYS EM-Maxwell,and the motor controller hardware circuit was built in ANSYS EM-Simplorer.To make real-time connections among these software platforms,a multi-software co-simulation platform was built,and the co-simulation platform’s simulation results were input into STAR CCM+software to enable finite element modeling of the motor and running of thermal analysis.When compared with the electric drive system model built using single Simulink software,the simulation results from this co-simulation platform were more realistic and were shown to be closer to reality when the dynamic characteristics of the electric drive system’s power semiconductor switching devices and the motor’s electromagnetic characteristics were considered.Finally,by benchmarking the multiphysics field co-simulation platform simulation results using dyno bench test results,the validity of the co-simulation platform was verified and the development of the multiphysics field co-simulation of the basic electric drive system was complete.
文摘Model predictive controls(MPCs) with the merits of non-linear multi-variable control can achieve better performance than other commonly used control methods for permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) drives.However,the conventional MPCs have various issues,including unsatisfactory steady-state performance,variable switching frequency,and difficult selection of appropriate weighting factors.This paper proposes two different improved MPC methods to deal with these issues.One method is the two-vector dimensionless model predictive torque control(MPTC).Two cost functions(torque and flux) and fuzzy decision-making are used to eliminate the weighting factor and select the first optimum vector.The torque cost function selects a second vector whose duty cycle is determined based on the torque error.The other method is the two-vector dimensionless model predictive current control(MPCC).The first vector is selected the same as in the conventional MPC method.Two separate current cost functions and fuzzy decision-making are used to select the second vector whose duty cycle is determined based on the current error.Both proposed methods utilize the space vector PWM modulator to regulate the switching frequency.Numerical simulation results show that the proposed methods have better steady-state and transient performances than the conventional MPCs and other existing improved MPCs.

文摘An electric seeder for small-size vegetable seeds was designed based on the power drive and the optical fiber detection technology.The seeder is driven by electric power during the sowing process.At the same time,using the fiber sensor technology to monitor the sowing condition,the seeder is more efficient with high seeding precision in terms of different seed sizes.In order to achieve the precision seeding for the 2-10 mm seeds,the driving motor is equipped in the rear crackle.The power drive reduces pollution and dyeing.Also the other components of the electric seeder were modularly designed.The seeder was designed with buckle,which could be quickly disassembled on the sowing machine to replace the sowing wheel.It can quickly adjust row spacing and sowing depth during sowing process to meet the requirements of agricultural planting.Field test was carried out for coriander,pakchoi,and radish on the accuracy and monitoring of the system,respectively.The results showed that during the field operation,the sowing precision of the sowing machine was 95%.When the seeder worked at the speeds of 3 km/h and 4 km/h,the relative error of the monitoring precision of the system was less than 6%.This system can meet the real-time monitoring requirements of the seed metering device and improve the quality of the sowing work.

文摘Low accuracy planting uniformity affects yield.Seed meter type and forward speed typically interfere with the planting uniformity accuracy of motor-driven seeding systems.Two types of maize precision planters equipped with motor-driven planting systems are investigated in this study to ascertain the rule of planting uniformity in both simulated and field speeds.The simulated speed increases from 5 to 12 km/h at a 1 km/h interval in a laboratory environment.The test results show that the quality of feed index(QTFI)of the two planters decreased by 16.79%and 9.88%.This is primarily attributed to the increase in the miss index(MISS)by 11.62%and 9.70%,respectively.The field speed was set to four levels from 5 to 12 km/h in a field environment.The plant spacing scatter distribution results were analyzed,and the results of the two planters indicated that the average positive difference of the two planters linearly increased with the forward speed,and the negative difference of the two planters did not exhibit a linear correlation.The number of positive moving average points was 2.49 times greater than that of the negative moving average points of the finger pick-up maize precision planter,and 4.49 times in the air-suction maize precision planter.The results indicated that the increase of the positive difference of plant spacing is the major effect factor in the field planting uniformity of the two motor-driven maize precision planters.In addition,the plant spacing corresponded to the distribution frequency of the two planters in field was close to the target seed spacing of 25 cm with a max coefficient of variation(CV)of 21.55%and 20.66%,respectively,and those plant spacing values corresponded to max distribution frequency of the two planters at the four level field speeds were(24.69±0.63)cm and(25.63±0.32)cm,respectively.However,the multiples index(MUL)changed randomly affected by the increasing speed.The research results provide a direction for the optimization design of motor-driven maize precision planters.

文摘Variable seeding by sowing decision can improve the utilization rate of resources.In order to achieve more accurate position control and sowing rate control,precision sowing decision control system was developed,and the integral separation Proportional Integral Derivative(PID)control algorithm of metering disc speed and grid based dead reckoning method were proposed.In order to test the performance of the system,the experiment of the influence of integral switching on step response and the experiment of seeding response based on simulated sowing decision were carried out.The results showed that average lag distance based on dead reckoning was 72.2 cm less than that of non-dead reckoning;system response distance of integral separation PID control algorithm was 43.1 cm shorter than that of ordinary PID control algorithm.The field experiment showed that the error of the monitoring sowing rate relative to the actual sowing rate was 3.5%,the average transition distance within the speed range of 3-9 km/h was 139.5 cm,and the standard deviation was 12.8 cm.The developed seeding control system improves the accuracy of seeding based on sowing decision,and provides a technical reference for low-cost sowing decision based control system in China.

文摘High-speed Brushless DC Motors(BLDCMs)usually adopt a sensorless control strategy and operate in three-phase six-state drive mode.However,the sampling errors of the rotor position and the driving method increase the Internal Power Angle(IPA),resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the system.Conventional IPA reduction strategies are either sensitive to motor parameters,or ignore diode freewheeling during the commutation process,or require additional current sensors.In this paper,a new strategy to reduce the IPA is proposed.Firstly,a Zero-Crossing Point(ZCP)detection method for the back-EMF without filter is proposed to reduce the sampling errors of the rotor position.Secondly,the relationship between the non-energized terminal voltage and the ZCP of the corresponding back-EMF is analyzed.The non-energized terminal voltage that has completed the diode freewheeling is divided into two triangles by half of the bus voltage.When the IPA is suppressed,the areas of the two triangles are equal.Thirdly,an advanced angle for reducing the IPA is obtained through a PI regulator which can eliminate the deviation between the two areas.Finally,both a simulation model and an experimental circuit are built to verify the proposed control strategy.

文摘When using a single reference to measure the bi-directional scattering distribution function (BSDF), the incident zenith angle of the tested sample must be identical to that of the reference. In order to get the hemisphere space scattering characteristic on the sample surface, usually a motor drives the sample tilting, then the incident zenith angle is changed and needs to be the compensated by another motor. We mathematically deduce the expression of compensation angle when the incident zenith angle is changed by the rotation of motor. After the incident angle is compensated, the scattering zenith angle and azimuth angle are deduced too. The uncertainty of the system is 0.75%. Scattering measurements are performed on copper sample with visible light under different temperatures.
