    摘要: A torque map generation system includes a motor, an inverter that drives the motor, a controller that controls the inverter, a torque sensor coupled to the motor, a power analyzer coupled to the torque sensor and a torque map generator that measures a current vector value of the motor by switching a MTPA (Maximum Torque Per Ampere) method and a square wave method based on a voltage utilization ratio of the inverter, wherein the torque map generator utilizes a measurement result by the MTPA method when the torque map generator uses the square wave method.

    摘要: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes calculating, by a processing device, a motor acceleration error based at least in part on a motor torque and a motor speed. The method further includes calculating, by the processing device, a regression fit line based at least in part on the motor acceleration error. The method further includes identifying, by the processing device, a zero point using the regression fit line. The method further includes comparing, by the processing device, the zero point to a datum reference to determine a difference. The method further includes integrating, by the processing device, the difference to determine the lash angle. The method further includes controlling, by the processing device, the motor based at least in part on the lash angle.

    摘要: Device for determining the angular position of a rotor of a rotary electric machine on the basis of signals delivered by a plurality of position sensors, including a circuit producing a control loop for estimating position of the rotor, delivering at output a signal representative of the position, and a circuit for dynamic normalization by the amplitude of the first harmonic of each signal originating from a position sensor. The circuit receives as input each signal originating from a position sensor, and at least one image of the signal representative of the position of the rotor and is configured to demodulate each signal by the image of the signal, determine, at the end of this demodulation, amplitude of the first harmonic of this signal originating from a position sensor, and normalize each signal by dividing it by the amplitude of the first harmonic of the previously determined signal.

    摘要: Methods and systems for monitoring and optimizing utilization of batteries for electric vehicles are described. Data of battery usage of electric vehicles are monitored using battery monitoring sensors at the electric vehicles for a plurality of users who share use of electric vehicles. Battery usage metrics are determined for the batteries of the electric vehicles based on the data of battery usage and determining user impact metrics based on measured quantities relating to driving of the electric vehicles for the plurality of users, the user impact metrics being indicative of degrees of driving severity placed on the vehicles associated with use habits of particular users. The battery usage metrics and the user impact metrics for the plurality of users are analyzed at a computer processing system to determine a particular user to assign to a particular electric vehicle in a given time period to counteract battery degradation of the battery in a particular electric vehicle, and a particular user is paired with the particular electric vehicle.

    摘要: Methods and systems for activating electric vehicles are provided. One method includes, in response to a first command to activate the vehicle, transitioning the vehicle from an inactive state to a wake state where a controller of the vehicle is activated and the vehicle is prevented from being propelled by an electric motor of the vehicle. The method also includes, in response to receiving a second command to activate the vehicle after receiving the first command, transitioning the vehicle from the wake state to a ready state where the vehicle is permitted to be propelled by the electric motor.

    摘要: A motor vehicle, in particular an at least partly electrically driven motor vehicle, has a battery device with at least one battery cell. The battery device is arranged in a floor region of the motor vehicle and has a protective device for protecting the battery device from mechanical action. The protective device has a protective plate, which is arranged in such a way that it covers the battery device at least in some regions, so that any mechanical actions are absorbed by the protective plate. The protective device also has an acoustic monitoring device, which monitors the protective plate acoustically and with which a signal can be output when a noise characteristic of a mechanical impairment of the protective plate is registered. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring the protective device.
