1 1 Power Electronics

2 Lecture 1 Introduction & Basic Switching Electric Drives Control 2

3 We want torque! We are mainly interested in the mechanical torque on the electrical machine shaft But, the torque is the result of a complex interaction of electric voltages and currents, magnetic fluxes and mechanical layout Our source is (usually) a DC Voltage, that... we convert to AC with PWM and feed to the electrical machine to... control the machine currents such that the mechanical torque becomes the one we want. Against us we have: A machine that require voltages that increase with speed A battery with limited and almost constant voltage A converter that needs to be controlled in a microsecond time scale Electric Drives Control 3

4 How we do it? We start knowing: The desired torque Lots of system states, like speed, DC link voltage, phase currents, battery SOC,... We calculate: The traction machine currents needed The voltages needed to set these currents The modulation pattern needed to set these voltages We modulate the swithes accordingly! Torque Ref Torque control Current refs Voltage refs Switch states Output Voltage Current Control Modulation This course DC Link Voltage feedback PEC Current, Speed and Position feedback Electric Drives Control 4

5 Why Power Electronics? The efficiency of a linear amplifier (converter) has a theoretical upper limit of 78.5 % This is sufficient in many low power applications, such as home audio In trains the rated power may be as high as 4-8 MW For an efficiency of 78.5 % the losses would be MW This means that huge amounts of power and money would be lost... but the main problem would be thermal management, i.e. handling the heat power Typically, the efficiency of a power electronic switch mode converter is >98 %

6 Simple low power amplifiers A B och AB Eff = 20 25% Eff = 60 % Electric Drives Control 6

7 Class D Audio Amplifiers

8 What is Power Electronics used for? All kinds of electrical drives where electrical power is transfered to mechanical and variable speed is required such as Traction applications such as trains, electrical vehicles and ship propulsion Pumps and fans All kinds of electrical drives where electrical power is transfered to mechanical and position control (servo) is required such as Robots, cranes Power system applications such as HVDC (up to 3000 MW), Transistor based HVDC Feeding and priming power from renewable energy sources (solar, wind,...) Active power filters, reactive power compensation,... Power supplies Computers, tv-sets,... Battery chargers for computers, mobile phones, hand-held tools,... - Back-up power, i.e. uninteruptable power supplies Many other applications

9 Electrical Motor Drives

10 Typical Motor Drive Applications - Except pumps, fans, cranes, Traction: for example trains and hybrid vehicles Robotics Series Hybrid Prallel Hybrid Series-Parallel Hybrid

11 Energy Conversion in Hybrid Vehicles Electric Drives Control 11

12 Torque Volvo s main system Diesel engine Electric motor 70 kw cont, 120 kw peak 400 Nm cont, 800 Nm peak AMT gearbox Energy storage 600 VDC Both Speed

13 Potential Fuel Saving Refuse Truck 20 % 5 % Long Haul Truck City Bus Wheel loader % %

14 Electric Drive is Good! Electric Traction Motors Are at least twice as energy efficiency as combustion engines Need almost no service, no sparkplugs, no oil changes.. Are quiet Let out no exhaust Are much smaller than a combustion engine for the same rating Can recover energy when slowing down or going downhill

15 But Storing Energy is a double problem... Time to charge 250 km Battery to store 250 km 5 minutes 150 kg diesel-tank 7 days 2500 kg battery 9 hours 2500 kg battery 4 hours 2500 kg battery

16 The Energy Path

17 Who needs an Automatic Charging Connection...? Commercial Vehicles May be Opportunity Charged up to times a day The power level is high! Automatic connection absolutely necessary!!! Autonomous private (?) vehicles Maybe a Spotify/Netflix/Uber kind of vehicle Must be able to autonomously arrange washing, charging, workshop visit,... Usually connected times per Future Charging Concepts day

18 The reinvented trolley reduce the need for batteries AND is automatic! Future Charging Concepts

19 Elonroad Elways -90 % battery size! Alstom/Volvo Future Charging Concepts

20 Vision Future Charging Concepts

21 Societal value... 4x ERS cost If ALL cars in Sweden were a Tesla : 472 meter 2 million m 3 batteries If ALL HDT were equipped fo 4h full electric mode 325 meter 0.2 millioner m 3 batteries IF we stack these as a cone...? With the same base as the Eiffel-tower...? m 47 meter 125 m Future Charging Concepts

22 Alternatives OFF Board High Power Charger High cost off board (currently 7 k /kw, excl installation) Low cost on board Robotic connector included ON Board High Power Charger Low cost off board (<< 1k /kw, excluding installation) Moderate cost On Board (Renault 150 for 43 kw by integration!!!) Robotic Connector To Be Developed

23 Renault Traction System Renault logic: Energy Infrastructure MUST be dense. DC connection for high power charging NOT the right way to go grid voltage, NOT battery voltage. Low Cost High Power AC infrastructure needed, with On Board Charger The Power level will increase Today 43 kw, tomorrow >80 kw Robotized Connection necessary
