Method and apparatus for charging multiple energy storage devices
An electric vehicle includes a controller configured to receive sensor feedback from a high voltage storage device and from a low voltage storage device, compare the sensor feedback to operating limits of the respective high and low voltage storage device, determine, based on the comparison a total charging current to the high voltage storage device and to the low voltage storage device and a power split factor of the total charging current to the high voltage device and to the low voltage device, and regulate the total power to the low voltage storage device and the high voltage storage device based on the determination.
Rotor of a variable-reluctance synchronous motor
A process for assembling a rotor of a variable-reluctance synchronous motor, characterised in that it comprises the steps of: i. preparing a plurality of discs having a through-cavity for each polar sector for housing at least a magnet; ii. positioning the discs in sequence along an axis of rotation for forming the rotor, so that the through-cavities are aligned to one another; iii. preparing magnets having an identical depth that is smaller than the depth of the rotor, and a frontal section that is identical to or smaller than the area of the cavity; iv. calculating the number of magnets to be inserted, for each polar sector, in a sequence so as to occupy only part of the total depth of the rotor as a function of the performances to be obtained; v. inserting the calculated number of magnets in a series of cavities aligned for each polar sector. The invention also relates to a rotor of a variable-reluctance synchronous motor assembled using the process set out above.
