Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Antriebsbatterie für den n-phasigen Betrieb eines Elektromotors, welche mindestens 2 * n Batteriestränge aufweist sowie ein Antriebssystem und ein Verfahren zum Betrieb des Antriebssystems. The present invention relates to a drive battery for the n-phase operation of an electric motor having at least 2 * n battery strings and a drive system and a method for operating the drive system.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Für aktuelle und zukünftige Automobilgenerationen spielt die Elektromobilität eine immer wichtiger werdende Rolle. Elektroantriebe kommen entweder komplett als Alternative zum bekannten Verbrennungsmotor oder als Electromobility is playing an increasingly important role for current and future generations of automobiles. Electric drives come either completely as an alternative to the known internal combustion engine or as
Unterstützung des Verbrennungsmotors in sogenannten Hybrid-Fahrzeugen zum Einsatz. Im Stand der Technik sieht das Konzept dieser Antriebe momentan eine Traktionsbatterie beziehungsweise eine Antriebsbatterie mit in Serie Support of the internal combustion engine in so-called hybrid vehicles used. In the prior art, the concept of these drives currently sees a traction battery or a drive battery in series
geschalteten Batteriezellen, einem entsprechenden Zwischenkreis mit einem Zwischenkreiskondensator und einem Inverter vor, der die connected battery cells, a corresponding intermediate circuit with a DC link capacitor and an inverter before, the
Zwischenkreisspannung, also die Gleichspannung, in die erforderliche n-Phasen-, meist jedoch 3-Phasen-Sinusspannung umwandelt. DC link voltage, ie the DC voltage, in the required n-phase, but usually converts 3-phase sinusoidal voltage.
Die Antriebsbatterien des Standes der Technik beinhalten typischerweise eine Vielzahl an Lithium-Ionen-Batteriezellen, welche nur in einem sehr The drive batteries of the prior art typically include a plurality of lithium-ion battery cells, which only in a very
eingeschränkten Temperatur- beziehungsweise Spannungsbereich betrieben werden dürfen. Ferner dürfen Lithium-Ionen-Batteriezellen nicht über eine vorbestimmte Schwelle hinaus geladen beziehungsweise unter eine restricted temperature or voltage range may be operated. Furthermore, lithium-ion battery cells may not be charged beyond a predetermined threshold or below a
vorbestimmte Schwelle entladen werden. Um sicherstellen zu können, dass die Batteriezellen stets in den aus den zuvor genannten Bedingungen ableitbaren Arbeitspunkten betrieben werden, kommt in den Antriebsbatterien des Standes der Technik oft Sensorik in Form von Überwachungsschaltungen zum Einsatz. Die Spannung und Temperatur einer jeden Batteriezelle wird dazu durch eine Überwachungsschaltung erfasst und die Information über diese Größen an eine zentrale Einheit weitergeleitet. Oft sind in derartigen Überwachungsschaltungen auch Mittel zum aktiven oder passiven Balancing der Batteriezellen vorgesehen, über welche der Ladezustand der Batteriezellen untereinander angeglichen wird. Die Überwachungsschaltungen sind typischerweise zusammen mit den be discharged predetermined threshold. In order to be able to ensure that the battery cells are always operated in the operating points which can be derived from the abovementioned conditions, sensor technology in the form of monitoring circuits is often used in the drive batteries of the prior art. The voltage and temperature of each battery cell is detected by a monitoring circuit and forwarded the information about these quantities to a central unit. Often, means for active or passive balancing of the battery cells are provided in such monitoring circuits, via which the state of charge of the battery cells is equalized with each other. The monitoring circuits are typically along with the
Batteriezellen verbaut. Von der Antriebsbatterie wird die sogenannte Battery cells installed. From the drive battery, the so-called
Zwischenkreisspannung, bei welcher es sich um eine Gleichspannung von meist ca. 400 bis 500 V handelt, bereitgestellt beziehungsweise in den Inverter geleitet.DC link voltage, which is a DC voltage of usually about 400 to 500 V, provided or directed into the inverter.
Der Inverter, bei welchem es sich um einen sogenannten Pulswechselrichter (PWR) handelt, wandelt die Gleichspannung in eine meist 3-phasige The inverter, which is a so-called pulse inverter (PWR) converts the DC voltage into a mostly 3-phase
Wechselspannung, welche direkt an die E-Maschine beziehungsweise den Elektromotor geleitet wird. Abhängig von der Frequenz, welche diese AC voltage, which is passed directly to the electric motor or the electric motor. Depending on the frequency, this one
Wechselspannung aufweist, dreht der Elektromotor und variiert die Has alternating voltage, the electric motor rotates and varies the
Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges. Der Pulswechselrichter arbeitet in der Regel mit sogenannten Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), welche in einer B6-Brückenkonfiguration angeordnet und somit auch zur Erzeugung negativer Spannungen der meist drei Phasen in der Lage sind.  Speed of the vehicle. The pulse inverter generally operates with so-called insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), which are arranged in a B6 bridge configuration and thus also capable of generating negative voltages of the mostly three phases.
Ein alternatives Konzept zu der zuvor beschriebenen Topologie ist das sogenannte„ALETO"-Konzept, welches wiederum zwei unterschiedliche An alternative concept to the topology described above is the so-called "ALETO" concept, which in turn is two different ones
Konfigurationen vorsieht, welche als Direktinverter- (DINV-) und Configurations provided as direct inverter (DINV) and
Direktkonverter-(DICO-) Konzepte bekannt sind. Beide diese Konzepte greifen in die bisherige, zuvor beschriebene Topologie der Antriebsbatterie ein. Direct Converter (DICO) concepts are known. Both of these concepts intervene in the previous, previously described topology of the drive battery.
Beispielsweise wird die Antriebsbatterie bei dem Direktinverter-Konzept in einzelne Batteriemodule, zum Beispiel zu jeweils 12 Batteriezellen aufgeteilt, welche jeweils zu der Antriebsbatterie hinzuschaltbar beziehungsweise von der Antriebsbatterie entkoppelbar, also quasi nach Art eines Bypasses überbrückbar ausgeführt sind. Eine Weiterentwicklung dieses„ALETO' -Konzeptes ist mit dem sogenannten„Smart-CeH"-Konzept gegeben. Hier werden nicht mehr  For example, the drive battery in the direct inverter concept into individual battery modules, for example, each divided into 12 battery cells, which can be switched on respectively to the drive battery or decoupled from the drive battery, so almost bridged in the manner of a bypass. A further development of this "ALETO" concept is given with the so-called "Smart-CeH" concept
Batteriemodule mit einer bestimmten Anzahl von in Reihe geschalteter Battery modules with a certain number of series connected
Batteriezellen von der Antriebsbatterie entkoppelbar beziehungsweise zu dieser hinzuschaltbar ausgeführt, sondern jede Batteriezelle wird separat geschaltet, ist also separat zu der Antriebsbatterie hinzuschaltbar beziehungsweise von dieser entkoppelbar, gleich wie die Batteriemodule bei dem„ALETO"-Prinzip. Die Hinzuschaltung beziehungsweise Entkopplung der einzelnen Batteriezellen erfolgt dabei, wie schon bei dem Batteriedirektinverter- beziehungsweise dem Batteriedirektkonverter-Prinzip, über Schaltmittel, welche in einer Battery cell of the drive battery decoupled or designed to be hinzuschaltbar, but each battery cell is switched separately, so it can be switched separately from the drive battery or decoupled from this, same as the battery modules in the "ALETO" principle. The Hinzuschaltung or decoupling of the individual battery cells is carried out, as in the Batteriedirektinverter- or the battery direct converter principle, via switching means, which in one
Koppelschaltung, meist in einer Halbbrücken- oder Vollbrückenkonfiguration miteinander und mit der jeweiligen Batteriezelle verschaltet sind. Die Schaltmittel dieser Koppelschaltungen müssen stets den gesamten Strangstrom, welcher derzeit beispielsweise einen Betrag von 480 Ampere übersteigen kann, zu führen in der Lage sein. Derart hohe Ströme stellen jedoch eine starke Belastung für die Schaltmittel der Koppelschaltung dar, welcher im Stand der Technik mit einer meist kostspieligen Auslegung der Schaltmittel der Koppelschaltung Rechnung getragen werden muss. Coupling circuit, usually in a half-bridge or full bridge configuration with each other and are connected to the respective battery cell. The switching means of these coupling circuits must always be able to lead the entire phase current, which may currently exceed, for example, an amount of 480 amperes. However, such high currents are a heavy burden on the switching means of the coupling circuit, which must be taken into account in the prior art with a most costly design of the switching means of the coupling circuit.
