Dabei weisen diese Fahrzeuge eine 800-Volt-Fahrzeugbatterie auf, mit welcher ein Bordnetz und/oder eine elektrische Antriebsmaschine mit Energie versorgt werden kann. Beispielsweise ist dies in der DE 102019005621 A1 und der DE 102009052680 A1 offenbart. Damit die elektrische Maschine des Fahrzeuges das Fahrzeug antreiben kann, benötigt diese eine Wechselspannung.

One object of the present invention is to be able to charge an electrical energy store of an at least partially electrically operated vehicle more simply and independently of the voltage level of a charging station. This object is achieved by an electric drive system and a method according to the independent patent claims. Useful developments result from the dependent claims.
Ein Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Antriebssystem für ein Fahrzeug, mitOne aspect of the invention relates to an electric drive system for a vehicle, with
- einer ersten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine und einer zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine zum Antreiben zumindest einer Antriebsachse des Fahrzeugs,- a first electric three-phase machine and a second electric three-phase machine for driving at least one drive axle of the vehicle,
- einem elektrischen Energiespeicher zum elektrischen Versorgen der ersten und zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine während eines Fährbetriebs des Fahrzeugs, wobei ein erster Wechselrichter der ersten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine und ein zweiter Wechselrichter der zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine jeweils mit dem elektrischen Energiespeicher gekoppelt sind, und - An electrical energy storage device for supplying electricity to the first and second three-phase electrical machine while the vehicle is driving, a first inverter of the first three-phase electrical machine and a second inverter of the second three-phase electrical machine being coupled to the electrical energy storage device, and
- einem fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschluss zum elektrischen Koppeln des elektrischen Energiespeichers mit einer fahrzeugexternen Ladeeinheit, wobei - An on-board charging connection for electrically coupling the electrical energy store with an off-board charging unit, wherein
- in Abhängigkeit von dem ersten und/oder zweiten Wechselrichter eine Ladespannung des fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschlusses in eine Versorgungsspannung zum Laden des elektrischen Energiespeichers umwandelbar ist. - As a function of the first and/or second inverter, a charging voltage of the on-board charging connection can be converted into a supply voltage for charging the electrical energy store.
Durch die Verwendung der beiden Wechselrichter des vorgeschlagenen elektrischen Antriebssystems können elektrisch betriebene Fahrzeuge mit einer Spannungslage von 800 Volt effizient und einfach an 400-Volt- oder 500-Volt-Ladestationen geladen werden. Folglich kann mithilfe des vorgeschlagenen elektrischen Antriebssystems die Abwärtskompatibilität eines elektrisch betriebenen Fahrzeuges verbessert werden, sodass ein elektrisch betriebenes Fahrzeug mit einer Batteriespannung von 800 Volt auch an Ladesäulen mit 400 Volt geladen werden kann. Durch die Verwendung der beiden Wechselrichter der elektrischen Drehstrommaschine können zusätzliche Spannungswandler oder anderweitige Schaltungsanordnungen für das Laden an einer 400-Volt-Ladesäule verzichtet werden. Somit können mithilfe des vorgeschlagenen elektrischen Antriebssystems elektrisch angetriebene Fahrzeuge auch bei einer im Vergleich zu einer Batteriespannung niedrigeren Spannungslage einer Ladestation effizient und einfach geladen werden. Durch den Verzicht von zusätzlichen Schaltanordnungen wird durch diese Abwärtskompatibilität eine Gewichtsreduzierung und Kostenreduzierung erreicht. By using the two inverters of the proposed electric drive system, electrically operated vehicles with a voltage level of 800 volts can be charged efficiently and easily at 400 volt or 500 volt charging stations. Consequently, using the proposed electric drive system, the downward compatibility of an electrically powered vehicle can be improved, so that an electrically powered vehicle with a battery voltage of 800 volts can also be charged at charging stations with 400 volts. By using the two inverters of the electrical three-phase machine, additional voltage converters or other circuit arrangements for charging at a 400-volt charging station can be dispensed with. Thus, with the aid of the proposed electric drive system, electrically driven vehicles can be charged efficiently and easily even when the voltage level of a charging station is lower than that of a battery. By dispensing with additional switching arrangements, a reduction in weight and cost is achieved as a result of this downward compatibility.
Mit anderen Worten kann das elektrische Antriebssystem des Fahrzeuges, insbesondere eines zumindest teilweise elektrisch angetriebenen Fahrzeugs, pro Antriebsachse zwei elektrische Antriebsmaschinen beziehungsweise elektrische Drehstrommaschinen aufweisen. Insbesondere können pro Antriebsachse beziehungsweise Achse des Fahrzeuges zwei elektrische Maschinen angeordnet sein. Somit kann insbesondere beispielsweise jedes Rad des Fahrzeugs, insbesondere jede Achse des Fahrzeuges, individuell mit einer eigenen elektrischen Maschine angetrieben und gesteuert werden. Dies bietet zum einen den zusätzlichen Vorteil, dass auf ein mechanisches Differentialgetriebe verzichtet werden kann und dieses durch ein elektrisches Differential, welches durch die elektrische Maschine bereitgestellt wird, ersetzt werden kann. Dadurch können insbesondere eine Gewichtseinsparung und Kosteneinsparung des Fahrzeuges erreicht werden. Ein Vorteil der Verwendung von mehreren elektrischen Maschinen pro Antriebsachse beziehungsweise Achse ist die Umsetzung des „Torque-Vectoring“. In other words, the electric drive system of the vehicle, in particular of an at least partially electrically driven vehicle, can have two electric drive machines or electric three-phase machines per drive axle exhibit. In particular, two electrical machines can be arranged per drive axle or axle of the vehicle. Thus, for example, each wheel of the vehicle, in particular each axle of the vehicle, can be driven and controlled individually with its own electric machine. On the one hand, this offers the additional advantage that a mechanical differential gear can be dispensed with and this can be replaced by an electric differential, which is provided by the electric machine. In this way, in particular, weight savings and cost savings of the vehicle can be achieved. One advantage of using several electrical machines per drive axle or axis is the implementation of "torque vectoring".
Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, werden beispielsweise die beiden Antriebswechselrichter einer Fahrzeugachse des Fahrzeuges für den Ladevorgang zweckentfremdet. Somit erfüllen diese Antriebswechselrichter in ihrer Primärfunktion das elektrische Versorgen der elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen und in einer Sekundärfunktion wird das Laden des elektrischen Energiespeichers an einer Ladestation mit einer im Vergleich zu der Spannungslage des Fahrzeugs geringeren Spannungslage ermöglicht. In other words, for example, the two drive inverters of a vehicle axle of the vehicle are misused for the charging process. Thus, in their primary function, these drive inverters fulfill the electrical supply of the electrical three-phase machines and in a secondary function the charging of the electrical energy store at a charging station with a voltage level that is lower than the voltage level of the vehicle is made possible.
Des Weiteren können für den Ladevorgang an der Ladestation die Induktivitäten der elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen genutzt werden, sodass für das Hochsetzen der niedrigeren Spannung der Ladestation kein zusätzlicher Bauraum für große und schwere Drosseln benötigt werden. Durch den Einsatz der beiden elektrischen Antriebsdrehstrommaschinen für das Laden an einer Gleichstromladequelle können EMV- Störungen beziehungsweise elektromagnetische Störgrößen in Richtung der Gleichstromladequelle (DC-Ladedose) gering gehalten werden und das benötigte EMV- Filter in Richtung der DC-Ladedose kann kleiner und günstiger ausgelegt werden. Das EMV-Filter dient normalerweise dazu, die Ladesäule gegenüber Störgrößen beziehungsweise Schwankungen zu schützen. Durch die Verwendung der beiden Wechselrichterder Drehstrommaschinen und insbesondere Induktivitäten der Drehstrommaschinen kann auf ein solches EMV-Filter verzichtet werden. Somit ergibt sich eine zusätzliche Reduzierung an Kosten und Gewicht. Furthermore, the inductances of the electrical three-phase machines can be used for the charging process at the charging station, so that no additional installation space for large and heavy chokes is required to boost the lower voltage of the charging station. By using the two electric drive three-phase machines for charging at a DC charging source, EMC interference or electromagnetic interference in the direction of the DC charging source (DC charging socket) can be kept low and the required EMC filter in the direction of the DC charging socket can be designed smaller and cheaper . The EMC filter is normally used to protect the charging station from interference or fluctuations. By using the two inverters of the three-phase machines and in particular the inductivities of the three-phase machines, such an EMC filter can be dispensed with. This results in an additional reduction in costs and weight.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn einer der beiden Wechselrichter beim Laden an einer 400- Volt-Ladesäule als Hochsetzsteller verwendet wird und der andere Wechselrichter schaltet den notwendigen Strompfad, insbesondere getaktet, durch. Somit wird zumindest ein Wechselrichter als Hochsetzsteller verwendet, um die 400 Volt der Ladesäule auf die 800 Volt der Fahrzeugbatterie anzuheben. Somit können auch zusätzliche Komponenten für die Abwärtskompatibilität bei einem 400-Volt-Ladevorgang entfallen, da die bereits im Fahrzeug vorhandenen Wechselrichter zweckentfremdet werden. Folglich kann auf zusätzliche Komponenten verzichtet werden, da die Wechselrichter des elektrischen Antriebssystems neben ihrer Primärfunktion eine zusätzliche Funktionalität für das Laden an einer 400-Volt-Ladesäule aufweisen. It is particularly advantageous if one of the two inverters is used as a step-up converter when charging at a 400 volt charging station and the other inverter switches through the necessary current path, in particular clocked. Thus, at least one inverter is used as a step-up converter to convert the 400 volts of the charging station to the 800 volts to raise the vehicle battery. This means that additional components for downward compatibility with a 400 volt charging process can also be omitted, since the inverters already in the vehicle are misused. As a result, additional components can be dispensed with, since the inverters of the electric drive system have an additional functionality for charging at a 400-volt charging station in addition to their primary function.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines elektrischen Antriebssystems eines Fahrzeugs, wobei Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating an electric drive system of a vehicle, wherein
- während eines Fährbetriebs des Fahrzeugs zumindest eine Antriebsachse des Fahrzeugs mit einer ersten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine und einer zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine angetrieben wird, wobei - During a ferry operation of the vehicle, at least one drive axle of the vehicle is driven by a first three-phase electric machine and a second three-phase electric machine, wherein

- für einen Ladebetrieb des Fahrzeugs ein fahrzeugseitiger Ladeanschluss des Fahrzeugs mit der ersten und zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine elektrisch gekoppelt wird, und - For a charging operation of the vehicle, a vehicle-side charging connection of the vehicle is electrically coupled to the first and second electrical three-phase machine, and
- in Abhängigkeit von dem ersten und zweiten Wechselrichter eine Ladespannung des fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschlusses in eine Versorgungsspannung zum Laden des elektrischen Energiespeichers umgewandelt wird. - Depending on the first and second inverter, a charging voltage of the vehicle-side charging connection is converted into a supply voltage for charging the electrical energy store.
Durch das vorgeschlagene Verfahren kann ein elektrisches Antriebssystem neben seiner Primärfunktion für das Antreiben des Fahrzeuges mittels elektrischer Drehstrommaschinen für einen Ladebetrieb des Fahrzeuges zweckentfremdet werden, sodass das elektrische Antriebssystem eine Primärfunktion zum Versorgen der elektrischen Drehstrommaschine für das Antreiben eines Fahrzeuges und eine Sekundärfunktion für das Laden eines 800-Volt-Fahrzeuges an einer 400-Volt-Ladestation aufweist. With the proposed method, an electric drive system can be used for a charging operation of the vehicle in addition to its primary function for driving the vehicle using electric three-phase machines, so that the electric drive system has a primary function for supplying the electric three-phase machine for driving a vehicle and a secondary function for charging a 800 volt vehicle to a 400 volt charging station.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt beispielsweise eine schematische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Antriebssystems 1 eines Fahrzeugs. Dabei handelt es sich um ein elektrisches Antriebssystem eines Elektrofahrzeugs oder eines Hybridfahrzeugs. Beispielsweise weist das Fahrzeug eine Spannungslage von 800 Volt auf. Bei dieser Spannungslage ist die Spannung, insbesondere eine Batteriespannung Ueatt, eines elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 des Fahrzeuges zu verstehen. Dabei weist die Batteriespannung Ueatt des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 einen Spannungsbereich von 770 Volt bis 830 Volt auf. Insbesondere kann die Batteriespannung Ueatt je nach Ladezustand des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 und/oder eines Schaltungsaufbaus des elektrischen Antriebssystems 1 und/oder eines Betriebszustands des elektrischen Antriebssystems 1 schwanken. Insbesondere weist der elektrische Energiespeicher eine Batteriespannung Ußatt mit im Wesentlichen einer Spannung von 800 Volt auf. 1 shows, for example, a schematic representation of an electric drive system 1 according to the invention of a vehicle. This is an electric drive system of an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle. For example, the vehicle has a voltage level of 800 volts. In this voltage level, the voltage, in particular a battery voltage Ue att , of an electrical energy store 2 of the vehicle is to be understood. In this case, the battery voltage Ue att of the electrical energy store 2 has a voltage range of 770 volts to 830 volts. In particular, the battery voltage Ue att depending on the state of charge of the electrical energy store 2 and / or a circuit structure of the electric drive system 1 and / or an operating state of the electric Drive system 1 fluctuate. In particular, the electrical energy store has a battery voltage Ußatt with a voltage of essentially 800 volts.
Mit „im Wesentlichen“ ist in dieser Anmeldung eine Toleranz von +/- 5 Prozent, insbesondere +/- 10 Prozent, zu verstehen. Insbesondere sind bei den angegebenen Spannungswerten Toleranzen und/oder Messtoleranzen von 5%, insbesondere 10% zu berücksichtigen. In this application, “essentially” means a tolerance of +/- 5 percent, in particular +/- 10 percent. In particular, tolerances and/or measurement tolerances of 5%, in particular 10%, must be taken into account for the specified voltage values.
Insbesondere sind mit dem elektrischen Antriebssystem 1 alle Komponenten und/oder Systeme zu verstehen, welche für das Antreiben beziehungsweise Fortbewegen des Fahrzeuges benötigt werden. Insbesondere kann zu dem elektrischen Antriebssystem 1 das Fahrzeuggestellt, der elektrische Energiespeicher 2, ein fahrzeugseitiger Ladeanschluss 3, zumindest eine Antriebsachse 4, der elektrische Energiespeicher 2 und zumindest eine erste elektrische Drehstrommaschine 5 und eine zweite elektrische Drehstrommaschine 6 gehören. Folglich kann mithilfe des elektrischen Antriebssystems 1 eine Fortbewegungsfahrt des Fahrzeuges durchgeführt werden. In particular, the electric drive system 1 means all components and/or systems that are required for driving or moving the vehicle. In particular, the electric drive system 1 can include the vehicle body, the electric energy store 2, a vehicle-side charging connection 3, at least one drive axle 4, the electric energy store 2 and at least a first electric three-phase machine 5 and a second electric three-phase machine 6. Consequently, locomotion travel of the vehicle can be performed with the aid of the electric drive system 1 .
Insbesondere weist das elektrische Antriebssystem 1 zumindest eine Antriebsachse 4 auf. Dabei handelt es sich um die Achse, welche insbesondere von den elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 angetrieben werden. Insbesondere können das Fahrzeug beziehungsweise das elektrische Antriebssystem 1 mehrere Antriebsachsen aufweisen. Insbesondere kann es sich bei dem Fahrzeug um einen Personenkraftwagen mit einer oder zwei Antriebsachsen oder um einen Lastkraftwagen mit mehreren Antriebsachsen handeln. In particular, the electric drive system 1 has at least one drive axle 4 . This is the axis which is driven in particular by the electric three-phase machines 5, 6. In particular, the vehicle or the electric drive system 1 can have multiple drive axles. In particular, the vehicle can be a passenger car with one or two drive axles or a truck with several drive axles.
Insbesondere weist diese zumindest eine Antriebsachse 4 die beiden elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 auf. Folglich kann jede Antriebsachse des Fahrzeuges zumindest zwei elektrische Drehstrommaschinen aufweisen. Anders ausgedrückt kann beispielsweise jedes Rad der Antriebsachse mit einer eigenen elektrischen Maschine, also die beiden Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6, angetrieben werden. Insbesondere kann jeder Reifen des Fahrzeuges durch eine eigene elektrische Antriebsmaschine angetrieben beziehungsweise gesteuert werden. In particular, this at least one drive axle 4 has the two electric three-phase machines 5 , 6 . Consequently, each drive axle of the vehicle can have at least two electric three-phase machines. In other words, for example, each wheel of the drive axle can be driven with its own electric machine, ie the two three-phase machines 5, 6. In particular, each tire of the vehicle can be driven or controlled by its own electric drive unit.
Beispielsweise können die erste elektrische Drehstrommaschine 5 und die zweite elektrische Drehstrommaschine 6 zusammen beziehungsweise gemeinsam an einer Hinterachse oder an einer Vorderachse als Antriebsachse angeordnet sein. Somit können beispielsweise pro Achse zwei elektrische Drehstrommaschinen angeordnet sein. Beispielsweise kann sowohl die Hinterachse als auch die Vorderachse zwei Drehstrommaschinen aufweisen. Insbesondere sind die beiden Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 entweder an der Hinterachse oder an der Vorderachse angeordnet, je nachdem, ob es sich bei der Hinterachse oder bei der Vorderachse um die Antriebsachse des Fahrzeuges handelt. Dabei kann beispielsweise mit der ersten Drehstrommaschine 5 ein erstes Rad 7 der Antriebsachse 4 und mit der zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine 6 ein zum ersten Rad 7 verschiedenes zweites Rad 8 der Antriebsachse 4 angetrieben werden. For example, the first three-phase electric machine 5 and the second three-phase electric machine 6 can be arranged together or jointly on a rear axle or on a front axle as a drive axle. Thus, for example, two electric three-phase machines can be arranged per axis. For example, both the rear axle and the front axle can have two three-phase machines. In particular, the two three-phase machines 5, 6 are arranged either on the rear axle or on the front axle, depending on whether the rear axle or the front axle is the drive axle of the vehicle. For example, a first wheel 7 of the drive axle 4 can be driven with the first three-phase machine 5 and a second wheel 8 of the drive axle 4 that is different from the first wheel 7 can be driven with the second electric three-phase machine 6 .
Damit die beiden elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 die Antriebsachse 4 antreiben können, werden diese von dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 mit Energie versorgt beziehungsweise gespeist. Da es sich bei der Batteriespannung Ußatt um eine Gleichspannung handelt, aber die elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 eine Wechselspannung benötigen, weisen die elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 jeweils einen Wechselrichter 9, 10 auf. Dabei weist die erste elektrische Drehstrommaschine 5 den ersten Wechselrichter 9 und die zweite elektrische Drehstrommaschine 6 den zweiten Wechselrichter 10 auf. Bei den Wechselrichtern 9, 10 handelt es sich insbesondere um einen Stromrichter, Inverter oder Drehrichter. Mithilfe der Wechselrichter 9, 10 kann die Batteriespannung Ußatt jeweils in eine Wechselspannung zum Versorgen beziehungsweise Betreiben der Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 umgewandelt beziehungsweise gerichtet werden. So that the two electrical three-phase machines 5, 6 can drive the drive axle 4, they are supplied or fed with energy by the electrical energy store 2. Since the battery voltage U ßatt is a DC voltage, but the electrical three-phase machines 5, 6 require an AC voltage, the electrical three-phase machines 5, 6 each have an inverter 9, 10. The first electric three-phase machine 5 has the first inverter 9 and the second electric three-phase machine 6 has the second inverter 10 . The inverters 9, 10 are in particular a power converter, inverter or rotary converter. With the help of the inverters 9, 10, the battery voltage U ßatt can be converted or directed into an alternating voltage for supplying or operating the three-phase machines 5, 6.
Insbesondere sind die beiden Wechselrichter 9, 10 mit dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 verbunden beziehungsweise gekoppelt. Beispielsweise können hierzu die beiden Wechselrichter 9, 10 jeweils über ihre Eingangsseiten gemeinsam mit dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 verbunden werden. Somit können beide Wechselrichter 9, 10 gleichzeitig, insbesondere mit identischen, Batteriespannungen Ußatt versorgt werden. In particular, the two inverters 9, 10 are connected or coupled to the electrical energy store 2. For example, the two inverters 9, 10 can each be connected to the electrical energy store 2 via their input sides. Both inverters 9, 10 can thus be supplied simultaneously, in particular with identical battery voltages Ußatt.
Insbesondere können die Wechselrichter 9, 10 als Antriebswechselrichter bezeichnet werden. Insbesondere kann es sich bei dem Wechselrichter 9, 10 um S3L-Inverter oder 3- Level-Wechselrichter handeln. In particular, the inverters 9, 10 can be referred to as drive inverters. In particular, the inverter 9, 10 can be an S3L inverter or a 3-level inverter.
Damit der elektrische Energiespeicher 2 aufgeladen werden kann, ist dieser mit dem fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschluss 3 elektrisch gekoppelt. Bei dem fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschluss 3 handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Ladedose beziehungsweise um eine Ladesteckdose des Fahrzeuges. An dem fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschluss kann insbesondere eine fahrzeugexterne Ladeeinheit 11 angeschlossen werden. Bei der fahrzeugexternen Ladeeinheit 11 kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Ladestation oder eine Ladesäule handeln. Insbesondere handelt es sich bei der Ladeeinheit 11 um eine Gleichstromladequelle zum Bereitstellen einer Gleichspannung. Insbesondere wird mit der Ladeeinheit 11 eine Ladespannung UL dem fahrzeugseitigen Ladeanschluss 3 bereitgestellt. So that the electrical energy store 2 can be charged, it is electrically coupled to the charging connection 3 on the vehicle. The vehicle-side charging connection 3 is in particular a charging socket or a charging socket of the vehicle. In particular, a vehicle-external charging unit 11 can be connected to the vehicle-side charging connection. The vehicle-external charging unit 11 can be, for example, a charging station or trade a charging station. In particular, the charging unit 11 is a DC charging source for providing a DC voltage. In particular, the charging unit 11 provides a charging voltage UL to the charging connection 3 on the vehicle side.
Um nun den elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 effizient aufladen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Ladespannung UL einen im Wesentlichen gleichen Spannungswert wie die Batteriespannung Ußatt aufweist. Mit anderen Worten ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Batteriespannung Ußatt und die Ladespannung UL 800 Volt aufweisen. Da dies nicht immer der Fall ist, können die beiden Wechselrichter 9, 10 und insbesondere die elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 für den Fall zweckentfremdet werden, wenn mit der Ladeeinheit 11 nur eine Ladespannung L kleiner 500 Volt zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. Somit wird in diesem Fall eine Abwärtskompatibilität des elektrischen Antriebssystems 1 benötigt. Damit nun hier auf zusätzliche Ladeeinheiten, wie Spannungswandler oder Bordlader, verzichtet werden kann, werden die elektrischen Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 und insbesondere die Wechselrichter 9, 10 für diesen Ladebetrieb zweckentfremdet. Dabei wird für den Ladebetrieb des Fahrzeuges und insbesondere des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 entweder der erste Wechselrichter 9 oder der zweite Wechselrichter 10 als Aufwärtswandler beziehungsweise Hochsetzsteller betrieben. In order to now be able to charge the electrical energy store 2 efficiently, it is advantageous if the charging voltage UL has a voltage value that is essentially the same as the battery voltage U ßatt . In other words, it is advantageous if the battery voltage Ußatt and the charging voltage UL are 800 volts. Since this is not always the case, the two inverters 9, 10 and in particular the electric three-phase machines 5, 6 can be used for other purposes in the event that the charging unit 11 can only provide a charging voltage L of less than 500 volts. In this case, downward compatibility of the electric drive system 1 is therefore required. So that additional charging units, such as voltage converters or on-board chargers, can now be dispensed with here, the electrical three-phase machines 5, 6 and in particular the inverters 9, 10 are misused for this charging operation. In this case, either the first inverter 9 or the second inverter 10 is operated as a step-up converter or step-up converter for the charging operation of the vehicle and in particular of the electrical energy store 2 .
Bei dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Fahrzeugbatterie oder um ein Batteriesystem oder mehrere Teilbatterien oder um eine Hochvolt-Batterie handeln. The electrical energy store 2 can be, for example, a vehicle battery or a battery system or a number of partial batteries or a high-voltage battery.
Damit nun die Wechselrichter 9, 10 für den Ladebetrieb des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 verwendet werden können, kann das elektrische Antriebssystem 1 eine Schaltvorrichtung 12 beziehungsweise Schalteinrichtung beziehungsweise Schaltmatrix aufweisen. Mit dieser Schaltvorrichtung 12 kann entweder ein direkter Ladevorgang des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 durch die Ladeeinheit 11 oder indirekt über die Wechselrichter 9, 10 eingestellt beziehungsweise geschaltet werden. So that the inverters 9, 10 can now be used for the charging operation of the electrical energy store 2, the electrical drive system 1 can have a switching device 12 or switching device or switching matrix. With this switching device 12, either a direct charging process of the electrical energy store 2 by the charging unit 11 or indirectly via the inverters 9, 10 can be set or switched.
In der Fig. 1 ist nun der Fall eines 800-Volt-DC-Ladens dargestellt. Hier ist die Schaltvorrichtung 12 in einer ersten Schaltstellung geschaltet. In diesem Fall ist der fahrzeugseitige Ladeanschluss 3 beziehungsweise die Ladeeinheit 11 direkt mit dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 verbunden beziehungsweise gekoppelt, sodass der elektrische Energiespeicher 2 mittels der Ladespannung UL aufgeladen werden kann. Dieses direkte 800-Volt-DC-Laden ist in der Fig. 1 mit dem Stromflussrichtungspfeil 13 dargestellt. In der nachfolgenden Fig. 2 ist nun beispielhaft ein 400-Volt-DC-Ladevorgang des elektrischen Energiespeichers 2 dargestellt. Dabei sind die Ausführungen zu dem elektrischen Antriebssystem identisch zu denen aus der Fig. 1. 1 now shows the case of 800 volt DC charging. Here the switching device 12 is switched to a first switching position. In this case, the vehicle-side charging connection 3 or the charging unit 11 is connected or coupled directly to the electrical energy store 2 so that the electrical energy store 2 can be charged using the charging voltage UL. This direct 800 volt DC charging is shown in FIG. 1 with the arrow 13 showing the direction of current flow. In the following FIG. 2, a 400 volt DC charging process of the electrical energy store 2 is now shown as an example. The explanations for the electric drive system are identical to those from FIG. 1.
In diesem Falle ist nun die Schaltvorrichtung 12 in eine zur ersten Schaltstellung verschiedene zweite Schaltstellung geschaltet. Somit ist in der zweiten Schaltstellung der fahrzeugseitige Ladeanschluss 3 mit der ersten und zweiten elektrischen Drehstrommaschine 5, 6 und den Wechselrichtern 9, 10 elektrisch verbunden beziehungsweise gekoppelt. In diesem Falle kann in Abhängigkeit von dem ersten und/oder zweiten Wechselrichter 9, 10 die Ladespannung UL, welche in diesem Fall 400 Volt betragen kann, in eine Versorgungsspannung UV umgewandelt beziehungsweise hochtransformiert werden. Folglich kann der Spannungswert der Ladespannung UL so hochtransformiert werden, dass als Versorgungsspannung UV ein Spannungswert von 800 Volt vorliegt. Mit dieser Versorgungsspannung kann nun der elektrische Energiespeicher 2 geladen werden. Hierzu ist beispielsweise in der Fig. 2 mit den Stromflussrichtungspfeilen 14 der Stromfluss von der Ladeeinheit 11 über die Drehstrommaschinen 5, 6 und die Wechselrichter 9, 10 zu dem elektrischen Energiespeicher 2 dargestellt. Insbesondere ist hierbei zumindest einer der beiden Wechselrichter 9, 10 als Hochsetzsteller betrieben. Der andere Wechselrichter 9, 10 wird hierbei taktend beziehungsweise als Taktvorgeber betrieben. Mit dem Stromflussrichtungspfeil 15 ist hier der Stromfluss der taktgebenden Bauelemente dargestellt. Die Stromflussrichtungspfeile 15 des getakteten Betriebs sind hierbei gestrichelt dargestellt. In this case, the switching device 12 is switched to a second switching position that is different from the first switching position. Thus, in the second switching position, the vehicle-side charging connection 3 is electrically connected or coupled to the first and second electrical three-phase machine 5, 6 and the inverters 9, 10. In this case, depending on the first and/or second inverter 9, 10, the charging voltage UL, which in this case can be 400 volts, can be converted or stepped up into a supply voltage UV. Consequently, the voltage value of the charging voltage UL can be stepped up so that a voltage value of 800 volts is present as the supply voltage UV. The electrical energy store 2 can now be charged with this supply voltage. For this purpose, for example, in FIG. In particular, at least one of the two inverters 9, 10 is operated as a step-up converter. The other inverter 9, 10 is operated in a clocked manner or as a clock generator. The current flow of the clock-generating components is shown here with the current flow direction arrow 15 . The current flow direction arrows 15 of clocked operation are shown in dashed lines.
Beispielsweise können für den Hochsetzbetrieb und den taktgebenden Betrieb des ersten und/oder zweiten Wechselrichters 9, 10 die verschiedenen Halbleiterschalter der Wechselrichter 9, 10 angesteuert werden. Beispielsweise können die Wechselrichter 9, 10 hierfür IGBTs oder MOSFETs aufweisen. Bezugszeichenliste For example, the various semiconductor switches of the inverters 9, 10 can be controlled for the step-up operation and the clocking operation of the first and/or second inverter 9, 10. For example, the inverters 9, 10 can have IGBTs or MOSFETs for this purpose. Reference List
