A method for controlling an electric motor is described herein. The method includes setting a current limit, a speed limit and a torque limit. The method also includes sensing a DC link current, comparing the sensed DC link current with the current limit and adjusting the torque limit based on the comparison with the current limit to provide an adjusted torque limit. The method also includes sensing the speed of the electric motor, comparing the speed with the speed limit and further adjusting the adjusted torque limit based on the comparison with the speed limit.

A drive device includes a motor, a decelerator connected to the motor, a differential connected to the motor via the decelerator, a housing that accommodates the motor, the decelerator, and the differential, an oil pump that includes a motor assembly and a pump assembly that is rotated by the motor assembly, and sends, to the motor, oil accommodated in the housing, a rotation sensor to detect rotation of the pump assembly, and a controller to control the motor. The controller limits an output of the motor based on a detection result of the rotation sensor.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for controlling an electric vehicle's electric motor output. The method obtains electric vehicle data, user-related data, and receives input from at least one sensor. A controller is utilized to evaluate the electric vehicle data, the user-related data, and the input from the at least one sensor, and automatically tailor an output power curve of an electronic motor to obtain a best performance for the electric vehicle for a given rate of conservation of a battery power.

A method for inspecting a traction power network is provided based on a platform which includes a device body of an inspection device for a traction power network apparatus. A power switch is disposed on an outer surface of the device body near a front end thereof, in which a sensitive galvanometer is disposed on the power switch. One end of the sensitive galvanometer is fixedly connected to a temperature sensor coupled to a controller. The controller is coupled to a 4G first communication module coupled to a 4G network. The 4G network is coupled to a processing platform coupled to the 4G network through a 4G second communication module. Other methods and structures are combined to avoid deficiencies in the prior art, such as poor speed and long time in the temperature signal transmission and avoid a controller without meeting requirements for efficient and timely temperature signal transmission.

A battery load management system and methods of managing a battery load, e.g., in a vehicle, may be directed to a converter that steps down electrical power from an input voltage to a reduced voltage. An electrical bus in electrical communication with the converter may be configured to supply electrical power received from the converter at the reduced voltage to a plurality of electrical loads. A controller may be configured to detect a load shed trigger, and in response to the detection select one or more low-priority loads included in the plurality of electrical loads. The controller may also be configured to reduce electrical power consumption by the one or more low-priority loads.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a vehicle that includes an electric machine as a propulsion source. In one example, a motor stall assessment level is generated based on an amount of time that the motor is stalled and an amount of torque that is generated by the motor. Mitigating actions may be performed if the motor stall assessment level exceeds a threshold level or value.

A torque-speed curve or data of load that is used as a standard to determine an external condition in which an electric vehicle is operating such as incline or no incline, head wind or no headwind, high temperature or low temperature. The system compares samples of actual torque-speed of load data to the standard. Based on the comparison, the system determines the external condition (going up a hill, traveling into a headwind, operating at high temperature) or an abnormal operation of the vehicle powertrain, for example, low tire pressure, elevated friction, wheels out of alignment. Based on the determination, the system takes an action to govern a maximum torque output of the motor to control temperature of the vehicle battery; to raise a wind deflector; to govern maximum speed of the vehicle to reduce danger resulting from low tire pressure, elevated powertrain friction or out of alignment wheels; or to initiate an indication of abnormal conditions.
