Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical architecture for the conversion of a DC voltage to an AC voltage, and vice versa.
- This architecture can be embedded in an electric or hybrid vehicle, and be used to convert the supply voltage supplied by an electrical network into a DC voltage supplying an electrical energy storage unit in order to charge the latter.
- the architecture can be used to convert the DC voltage supplied by this electrical energy storage unit into an alternating voltage supplying the stator of an electric machine for propelling the vehicle or an alternating voltage transferred to the polyphase electrical network. .
- the invention responds to this need with the aid of an electrical architecture for the conversion of a DC voltage into an AC voltage, and vice versa, comprising:
- a DC / AC voltage converter comprising a plurality of arms connected in parallel, each arm comprising two switching cells
- each H-bridge for each H-bridge a dedicated control member, so that all the switching cells of said H-bridge are controllable by this control member, each control member being intended for, in particular, configured to communicate with a control unit distant through a potential barrier.
- each H-bridge has a control member dedicated to said bridge.
- the architecture is thus compartmentalised into several compartments relatively independent of each other, each compartment including an H bridge and the control member which is dedicated thereto. Due to this relatively independent compartmentalisation, an anomaly occurring within a compartment does not affect the operation of the other compartments, so that the operation of the architecture and / or the safety of the people in the vicinity of the compartment These can be guaranteed.
- each compartment may further comprise a phase of the electric stator winding of the electric machine for propelling the vehicle.
- low voltage means voltages less than or equal to 12 V and “high voltage” means voltages greater than or equal to 60 V.
- the architecture may include the remote control unit.
- the remote control unit is in a low voltage environment while the converter and the control members of the H-bridges are in a high voltage environment, these two environments being separated by the potential barrier.
- a failure on the control of a phase of the electrical stator winding of the electric machine that is to say a failure on the H-bridge dedicated to said phase or on the control member of the electric machine. switching cells of said bridge, does not prevent further propulsion by this vehicle engine or the continued charging of the electric power storage unit, when this charging operation reuses the electric stator winding of the electric machine.
- Each control member may comprise a first source of electrical energy and a second source of electrical energy, distinct from the first source of electrical energy. Thanks to the availability for the power supply of two different energy sources, any anomaly affecting one of the energy sources does not prevent the operation of the controller which can then be powered by the other source of electrical energy. This can guarantee a safer operation of the architecture.
- the second source of electrical energy comprises the electrical energy storage unit supplying the electric motor, and a DC / DC voltage converter making it possible to adapt the value of the voltage across the terminals of this storage unit. electrical energy to a value compatible with the power supply of a control member.
- the first source of voltage is for example a low voltage source, such as the electrical energy source of the on-board network when the architecture is embedded on a vehicle.
- a DC / DC voltage converter can lower the value of the voltage supplied by this low voltage source.
- the low voltage source supplies, for example, all the control elements.
- a DC / DC voltage converter is used to lower the value of the voltage supplied by this low voltage source, there may be as many such converters as there are control members.
- the first and second sources above are for example common to all control members.
- Each control member may comprise at least one of:
- a digital processing unit configured to communicate with the remote control unit
- a device for measuring at least one electrical quantity in the H-bridge in particular a voltage or a current
- the digital processing unit is for example configured to exploit the temperature measurements and / or electrical quantities in the H-bridge. If necessary, these measurements thus exploited are transmitted to the remote control unit, so that that the latter can generate instructions which, once received and processed by each control member, allow the latter to control the switches of the H bridge to which it is dedicated.
- These measurements can make it possible to detect the occurrence of one or more anomalies in each compartment of the architecture and the instructions developed on the basis of these measurements make it possible to comply with the aforementioned constraints in terms of security.
- These setpoints are, for example, duty cycle values to be applied to the controllable switches of the switching cells.
- a first control mode Prior to the detection of one or more anomalies in the architecture, a first control mode can be applied to the switching cells and, due to the detection of the anomaly or anomalies, a second control mode can be developed and be then applied to all or part of the switching cells to meet the security requirements above.
- the second control mode can be generic, the same set being applied as soon as an anomaly is detected in the architecture, regardless of the nature of this anomaly.
- the second control mode can be adapted to the detected anomaly, that is to say that the instructions applied may differ depending on the nature of the detected anomaly and / or according to their number.
- Each control member of an H bridge of the DC / AC voltage converter can communicate with the other control elements of the other H-bridges of said
- the digital processing unit of each control member may be configured to communicate with a digital processing unit of the remote control unit via a common link to the control members and passing through said potential barrier.
- One of the digital processing units of the control members is preferably master of this communication, the digital processing unit of the remote control unit and the other digital processing units of the other control members then being slaves.
- a processing unit is master when it initiates the triggering of communication via the link.
- H-bridges in the event of failure or malfunction at the remote control unit or any other component in the low-voltage environment, H-bridge controls may continue to operate and control switching of the DC / AC voltage converter by applying a mode of operation not requiring interaction with the remote control unit.
- the aforementioned partitioning of the architecture also makes it possible to overcome to a certain extent anomalies occurring on components of the high-voltage environment.
- the control of each H-bridge may be independent of the control of the other H-bridges of the architecture.
- the link allowing the communication between the remote control unit and the control devices of the DC / AC voltage converter may be a synchronous full duplex serial link. It can be a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) type link. The potential barrier can be traversed by the link.
- SPI Serial Peripheral Interface
- a single potential barrier can be interposed between the remote control unit and the control members of the H bridges of the converter.
- Each switching cell can be realized using a bidirectional current switch, for example a field effect transistor or an IGBT type transistor with an antiparallel mounted diode.
- the architecture is devoid of a DC / DC voltage converter interposed between the electrical energy storage unit and the DC / AC voltage converter, so that the Continuous interface of this DC / AC voltage converter can be connected to the terminals of the electrical energy storage unit.
- the digital processing units of the control members may be programmable logic circuits (FPGAs in English) and the digital processing unit of the remote control unit may be a microcontroller.
- the architecture uses three FPGAs and a microcontroller to perform the entire command switching cells of the converter.
- the architecture may comprise a DC / DC voltage converter comprising a high voltage interface and a low voltage interface, one of the high voltage interface and the low voltage interface being connected to the DC / AC voltage converter.

- an arm extending between two terminals defining the low-voltage interface, said arm comprising two controllable switching cells, in series and separated by a mid-point,
- a coil having one end connected to the midpoint of the branch and the other end connected to the positive terminal of the high voltage interface.
- This embodiment in several branches interleaved DC / DC voltage converter can better distribute the power between the different branches, and thus extend the life of the switching cells of this converter.
- the switching cells of the DC / DC voltage converter can be obtained or not by means of bidirectional current switches. These switching cells are for example identical to those of the DC / AC voltage converter.
- the DC / DC voltage converter may comprise an even number of branches, and the branches may be paired, the coil of one branch of a pair being magnetically coupled with the coil of the other branch of said pair.
- the architecture may comprise, for each pair of branches, a control member adapted to control all the switching cells of said pair of branches.
- the DC / DC voltage converter and its control are compartmentalized and there is a certain independence from one compartment to another.
- Each compartment comprises a pair of branches and the associated control member. In this way, any anomaly in one compartment does not affect the other compartments.
- each control member of a pair of branches of the DC / DC voltage converter may comprise a first source of electrical energy and a second source of electrical energy distinct from the first source of electrical energy.
- each control member of a pair of branches of the DC / DC voltage converter may comprise at least one of:
- a digital processing unit configured to communicate with the remote control unit
- the double power supply available can thus ensure that these measurements and treatments will be carried out when needed.
- the above measurements can be used to detect the occurrence of one or more anomalies in the pair of branches while a first control mode of the switching cells of the DC / DC voltage converter is applied.
- a second control mode can be developed and applied to all or part of the switching cells of said converter, similar to what has already been discussed in connection with the DC / AC voltage converter.
- Each control member of a pair of branches may comprise a digital processing unit configured to communicate with the digital processing unit of the remote control unit and this communication can be done via the link above which is then common :
- At least one of the digital processing units of a controller is preferably master for this communication.
- the master operation of a digital processing unit assigned to the control of switching cells of the high voltage environment reduces the consequences for the anomaly converters (s) occurring in the low voltage environment.
- the digital processing units of the control members may be programmable logic circuits (FPGAs in English) and the digital processing unit of the remote control unit may be a microcontroller.
- control members are FPGAs and the remote control unit uses a microcontroller
- the architecture then uses six FPGAs and a microcontroller to perform all the control of the switching cells of the converters.
- continuous / continuous can be equal to the number of arms of the DC / AC voltage converter and the architecture then comprises as many control members driving the switching cells of the DC / AC voltage converter as control members driving the cells switching of the DC / DC voltage converter.
- the number of branches of the DC / DC voltage converter is equal to the number of arms of the DC / AC voltage converter, and each control member dedicated to an H bridge also drives all the switching cells of a pair of branches of the DC / DC voltage converter.
- control members play both the role of the control members of the architecture devoid of DC / DC voltage converter according to the first embodiment of the invention and the role of the components. control of the branch pair switching cells of the architecture according to the first sub-mode of the second exemplary implementation of the invention which has just been described.
