System and method for electrical power conversion suited for driving an electric motor
Electrical power conversion systems and methods suited for driving electric motors, and related systems such as propulsion systems, and vehicles employing same, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, the electrical power conversion system includes a plurality of series coupled inverters, each including respective first and second DC input terminals and also including respective AC output ports by which the inverters can respectively be coupled at least indirectly to motor winding sets. Additionally, the system includes a controller coupled to the inverters and configured to generate control signals that are respectively provided to the inverters. The control signals tend to cause respective AC output powers output from the respective AC output ports to be equal or substantially equal in a manner that tends to result in respective DC link voltage portions applied between the respective DC input terminals of the respective inverters being or becoming equal or substantially equal.
Portable power supply system for an electrically driven work machine and a work machine equipped with such a power supply system
The invention concerns a portable power supply system (30) intended to supply a remotely controlled, electrically driven work machine (1) with electrical power, where the work machine is of the type that demonstrates a propulsion means that includes continuous tracks (8b) and is equipped with a maneuverable arm (10) intended to carry a tool at its free end, and electric motor (19) that is connected to a hydraulic pump (20) and is intended to supply the operating means (8c, 10a) of the machine with a hydraulic medium, whereby the work machine is intended to be connected under normal operation to a primary source of power (30a) via an electrical cable (2′), which primary source of power includes a fixed alternating current electricity distribution grid at the location. In order to be able to supply the current that is required it comprises a DC energy-storage arrangement (29) that, including a secondary source of power (30b), can store energy and, when necessary, supply energy in electrical form; a coupling arrangement (31, 33, 34, 34′) that makes it possible to choose between connecting the primary (30a) or the secondary (30b) source of power to the electric motor in order to drive the same.
