This paper introduces a design and implementation of electrically assisted power steering (EAS) using BLDC motor for a vehicle.
The control architecture consists of two layers of control, namely the vehicle speed associated control and the torque assist
control. In the higher level of control architecture, the vehicle speed controller works as an assistance level controller
for the steering effort. In the lower level, the torque controller gives the effort level control. This has been realized
by torque sensor and vehicle sensor interfaced in the DSP. For implementing in the system, a DSP-based BLDC motor controller
with three-phase inverter module is specially designed using Hall-effect sensor feedback and a single dc-link current sensor.
This work is implemented in a Light Commercial Vehicle having a recirculating ball type gear. This is for the first time (EAS)
being implemented for this type of vehicle any where in the world. Generally, EAS having clutch to disconnect the motor in
high speed or abnormal conditions from the gear box. In this implementation the motor is directly coupled to gearbox without
clutch and all abnormalities are handled by the processor. This is implemented without modifying the vehicle supply system
like changing the existing alternator or rating of the battery and using the existing sensors. The design is such a way that
the feel of the driver assistance can be varied easily at any time. The performance of the control system is experimentally
verified and it is tested in one of the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV). 相似文献
Abstract This study analyzes a load torque estimation problem for an electric machinery servo system using the recursive input estimation (RIE) algorithm. This study also presents four novel estimation models, which have different numbers of sensors, considers the process and the measurement noise to estimate load torque without a torque sensor. The proposed algorithm is a novel estimation technique for solving force feedback and state estimation problems for an electric machinery servo control system. In this work, the DC servomotor system is utilized as an electric machinery servo system, and four important RIE characteristics were verified by numerical simulation results: (i) Adaptive forgetting factor in the RIE algorithm can estimate load torque more effectively than constant forgetting factor; (ii) The significant variation of control input and/or load torque impact affects the estimation precision; (iii) The high‐performance load torque estimation model can be established based only on the given control input and techogenerator sensor; (iv) Using different degrees of model errors, the estimation of the performance tendency toward good or bad for control input and load torque are the same. This characteristic shows that good estimated performance for an unknown load torque can be confirmed based on the strength of good control input estimated performance. In other words, model error can be identified via the deterministic control input and its estimation results. The proposed models may have practical applications for solving disturbance compensation problems in electric machinery servo systems. 相似文献
Hybrid-power gas engine heat pump (HPGHP) combines hybrid power technology with gas engine heat pump, which can keep the gas engine working in the economical zone. In this paper, a steady-state model of the HPGHP in heating condition has been established, the optimal torque curve control strategy is proposed to distribute power between the gas engine and battery pack. The main operating parameters of the HPGHP system are simulated on Matlab/Simulink and validated by experimental data, such as operating temperature, coefficient of performance (COP), fuel-consumed rate, etc. Heating capacity and COP of the heating pump system are validated under different ambient temperatures and water flow rates. The simulation and experiment results shows acceptable agreement, the maximum difference is respectively 8.9%, 5.9%, 9.5% and 8.2% for engine torque, motor torque, reclaimed heat and fuel-consumed rate. Based on the simulation results, HPGHP has the lowest fuel-consumed rate of 283 g (kWh)−1 at engine speed of 3000 rpm; the PER of HPGHP system is about 15.9% and 11.4% higher than the GHP under the same load in Mode C and D. 相似文献
The objective of this paper is to develop a generic electric vehicle battery charging framework using wind energy as the direct energy source. A robust model for a small vertical axis wind turbine based on an artificial neural network algorithm is used for predicting its performance over a wide range of operating conditions. The proposed framework can be implemented at any location worldwide where full prediction of the wind signature is perfectly obtained. In this paper, a small vertical axis wind turbine has been experimentally characterized at different operating conditions, where measured data, output power, and torque have been used to build the model. Once the model has been developed, the model is inserted into the MATLAB/Simulink software tool to predict the charging performance of a battery for an electric vehicle. An rpm controller has been used to achieve the maximum generated power from the wind turbine across the day with various wind speeds. Hence, the generated power is fed to the EV battery charger to implement the constant current constant voltage charging protocol. The charging current reached the desired value in a settling time of 4.5 s, whatever the intermittency of the wind energy. The proposed application of wind energy to EV provides sufficient constant power supported by the utility grid.
The design of the interaction cavity of a 170 GHz gyrotron operating in the TE34,10 mode is presented in this article. An in-house developed code GCOMS and Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code MAGIC are used for the mode selection and beam-wave interaction simulations, respectively. The cold cavity analysis and beam-wave interaction computation are carried out to analyze the eigenmode and output power, respectively. A thorough parametric analysis of the interaction cavity geometry and electron beam parameters is also carried out with respect to the output power and frequency. The results show the capability of the interaction cavity, designed for the TE34,10 mode, to produce more than 1 MW of RF power of a gyrotron at the operating frequency of 170.03 GHz. 相似文献
