A windshield wiper system includes a three-phase motor, the three-phase inverter, a brake circuit, and a controller. The controller transmits commutation signals to the three-phase inverter to drive the motor according to an inboard-to-outboard speed profile and to drive the motor according to an outboard-to-inboard speed profile. The controller activates the brake circuit based on the inboard-to outboard speed profile, or the outboard-to-inboard speed profile, and a direct current bus voltage.

A method and system for reducing rollback in a counterbalancing system as a holding brake is released is disclosed. A limited amount of movement of a drive shaft is present in the holding brake. A motor drive provides current to the motor with the holding brake set such that a torque is applied at the drive shaft. The current is controlled to generate torque in both directions. The limited amount of movement in the brake may be used to determine a direction and magnitude of torque required to support a mechanical load being applied to the motor. The motor drive then provides a current to generate the necessary torque required to support the load prior to releasing the holding brake.

A control method for a hybrid power system. The method is applied to a hybrid power system composed of an engine (10) and a motor (20). A motor stator (21) of the motor (20) is connected to a driving shaft (40) of a motor vehicle by means of a transmission mechanism (32) such that, when rotated, the driving shaft (40) drives the motor stator (21) to rotate; the motor (20) is used to determine output torque according to the rotating speed of the motor and transmit same to the driving shaft (40); the rotating speed of the motor is equal to the difference between the rotating speed of the motor rotor (22) and the rotating speed of the motor stator (21). The method comprises, according to operating parameters of the hybrid power system and operating parameters of the motor vehicle, controlling a motor controller to provide a drive signal to the motor stator such that the operating parameters of the motor meet a first preset formula, thereby avoiding the possibility of the motor operating at zero rotating speed or within a low rotating speed range under various operating conditions, avoiding the occurrence of problems with the motor such as efficiency and torque response being poor under such operating states, and improving user experience. Also provided is a control system for achieving a control method for a hybrid power system.
