Vehicle with electrical machine and method for operating the same
A vehicle is provided with a multiphase electrical machine, a first onboard electrical sub-system having a first nominal DC voltage, and a second onboard electrical sub-system having a second nominal DC voltage. The electrical machine includes a rotor, a first stator system and a second stator system. The first onboard electrical sub-system includes a first inverter with a first link capacitor. The first stator system is associated with the first inverter. The second onboard electrical sub-system includes a second inverter with a second link capacitor. The second stator system is associated with the second inverter. The first stator system is configured in a star configuration. The second stator system is configured in a star configuration or in a delta configuration. A transfer circuit connects the star point of the first stator system to a higher potential of the second onboard electrical sub-system.
Control arrangement of a multi-stator machine
A control arrangement of a multiple-stator machine, comprising a frequency converter for each of the plurality of stators and a controller for each frequency converter, wherein a controller of a frequency converter is realized to generate control signals for that frequency converter on the basis of current values relating to that stator, and to generate a compensation current value for a further controller on the basis of the received current values in the event of an open-circuit fault in a frequency converter; to receive a compensation current value from a further controller; and to compute a voltage reference for a subsequent transform stage of the controller on the basis of the received current values is provided. The invention further describes a current control module of a frequency converter controller of such a multi-stator machine; a multi-stator machine; and a method of performing fault-tolerant control of a multi-stator machine.
