- the boost converter output side 124 is referred to as the high voltage side of the circuit.
- System 100 also includes a first passive storage device 130, such as an ultracapacitor for example, connected to a second channel 128 of the low-side of the boost converter through an inductor (not shown).
- a unidirectional conducting apparatus 132 such as a diode for example, is poled to conduct current from the high energy battery input channel of the boost converter to the ultracapacitor 130.
- the passive storage device 130, the unidirectional conducting apparatus, and the contactor 134 are wired in series between the positive DC bus 112 and the negative DC link 114 on the boost converter low voltage side 122.
- Ultracapacitor as used herein represents a capacitor comprised of multiple capacitor cells connected in a series arrangement where the capacitor cells each have a capacitance that is greater than 500 Farads.
- Ultracapacitors are often referred to as "double-layer" capacitors or supercapacitors.

- system 100 also includes a uni-directional current device 150 that is poled to allow current flow from the first storage unit 110 to the high voltage side 124 of the traction boost converter 120, a pre-charge circuit 152 and at least one DC contactor 154.
- the uni-directional current device 150 is a diode.
- uni-directional current device 150 facilitates channeling current from the pre-charge circuit 152 to the high-side 124 of the traction boost converter 120 to at least partially pre-charge the high-side ultracapacitor 140 from it's initial assumed discharge state, and also provides power to the motor 146 during a "Limp-home" mode of operation in event of failure of the boost converter system.
- the high-side ultracapacitor 140 is quickly pre-charged using pre- charge circuit 152 to approximately the nominal voltage of the high-specific battery 110 that is coupled on the low-side 122 of the boost converter 120. Energy for this initial pre-charge function is provided by the high-specific energy battery 110 and may be completed while the vehicle is stationary within a few seconds of the operator initiating start-up via the ignition switch command, for example.
- DC contactor 154 is energized and it's associated power contactors are electrically closed.
- the traction drive i.e. motor 146 may be enabled such that the vehicle may be operated at a relatively slow speed.
- the power provided to the motor 146 may be supplemented, using the traction drive, using a heat engine for example in a hybrid vehicle, or by using additional storage units if the vehicle is an all electric vehicle.
- the low-side ultracapacitor 130 is pre-charged using energy from the high-side 124 and also energy from the high- specific energy battery 110, through uni-directional current device 150.
- the pre-charge of the low-side inputs of the boost converter are completed, i.e. ultracapacitor 130 is at least partially charged, DC contactor 134 is closed and the pre- charge of ultracapacitor 140 continues via the boost converter 120.
- maximum voltage of ultracapacitor 130 is approximately two times the nominal voltage of the high-specific energy battery 110.
- ultracapacitor 130 is configured to operate from it's maximum voltage down to approximately 50% of it's maximum voltage such that approximately 75% of total stored or usable energy within ultracapacitor 130 is utilized.
- diode 132 conducts such that the boost converter is increasing the voltage from the battery 110 to the DC link voltage using two channels of the boost converter thereby allowing approximately twice the rated power compared to a single channel of the boost converter to facilitate increasing the operation speed of the vehicle.
- Figure 5 illustrates a system 200 that is substantially similar to system 100 shown in Figure 4. As such numbers used to indicate components in Figure 4 will be used to indicate the similar component in Figure 5.
- dynamic retarder 142 is not coupled on the high voltage side of boost converter 120, rather the dynamic retarder 142 is coupled on the low voltage side of boost converter 120 through a third channel.
- dynamic retarder 142 controllably varies the effective power dissipation on the DC link 124 through control of the boost converter and thereby limit the DC voltage developed across the Inverter DC link 124 with respect to 114.
- FIG. 6 is a graphical illustration of both system 100 and 200 shown during normal operation wherein the DC Link voltage is shown as a function of the motor speed and torque, and wherein the dotted lines represent the exemplary reference values for the associated energy storage component voltages.
- the full torque of the drive for an exemplary AC motor design, is achievable by ramping the reference voltage from some predetermined minimum value to a predetermined maximum reference value at a motor speed of approximately 50% of rated speed. From 50% to 100% rated motor speed, the reference DC Link voltage is held substantially constant.
- ultracapacitor 140 voltage fluctuates above and below the reference line as energy is being extracted from or supplied to the device. As the ultracapacitor 140 voltage, i.e.
- the closed loop control provides additional energy, primarily from ultracapacitor 130, provided it is within it's normal operating range (SOC).
- SOC normal operating range
- the lower efficiency battery 110 is utilized to provide additional energy.
- the high- specific energy battery 110 provides the energy, since the energy stored in both ultracapacitors 130 and 140 is substantially depleted. Also, during the limp-home mode, the energy provided the propel the vehicle will be supplement using battery 110.
- Figure 7 is a system 300 that is substantially similar to system 100 shown in Figure 4. As such numbers used to indicate components in Figure 4 will be used to indicate the similar component in Figure 7.
- system 300 also includes an alternator 302, rectifier 304, and a 12 volt Starting Lighting and Ignition (SLI) battery 308 that are utilized to charge the high-specific energy battery 110 through a DC-DC converter 306.
- the converter 306 facilitates isolating the voltage supplied to the battery 110 from the vehicle chassis.
- alternator 302 is coupled to and driven by a known engine 310 within the vehicle.
- the charge power level of battery 110 may be limited, based on the current rating of the alternator 302 and it's associated circuits and also due to the alternator's relatively low efficiency. However, this feature will provide some low- level charging, especially while the vehicle is idling or at low speed operation.
- transient energy for operation at high motor speed and torque primarily uses a high voltage ultracapacitor in a high efficiency mode, and such that transient energy for operation at moderate speed and torque primarily uses a combination of a high voltage and moderate voltage ultracapacitors, and transient energy for operation at low motor speed and the full range of motor .torque is provided primarily by combination of low voltage battery and the moderate voltage ultracapacitor. As such, ultracapacitor cell balancing issues are minimized by using both multiple ultracapacitor energy storage units with high and moderate voltage requirements
- the systems described herein facilitate decoupling the DC link voltage from the moderate and low voltage energy storage components which allows improved system performance and efficiency by utilizing the proper energy storage system and associated control as a function of motor speed and torque.

Description
VEHICLE PROPULSION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to vehicle drive systems and, more particularly, to battery powered drive systems such as are used in battery powered electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles.
Figure 1 illustrates a known alternating current (AC) electric drive system that is used in battery electric vehicles and also hybrid vehicles. As shown, the energy storage unit, which may be a battery, is electrically connected to the direct current (DC) link of an DC- AC traction inverter.
Figure 2 illustrates a known hybrid drive system that includes a first battery that is coupled to the low, voltage side of the boost converter and a second battery that is coupled to the high voltage side of the boost converter. During operation, this configuration may allow a high specific-energy battery to be used as the energy storage unit, where the voltage rating of the low-side energy storage unit is generally lower than the DC link of the DC- AC traction inverter.
Figure 3 illustrates a known hybrid drive system that includes a high specific-energy battery, an ultracapacitor, and a diode that is poled to allow! current flow when the ultracapacitor voltage is lower than the voltage of the battery when arranged in the configuration shown in Figure 3. The configuration in Figure 3 allows increased levels of power to be transmitted from the battery to the DC link through a two- channel boost converter, where each channel or phase has the same maximum power rating.
While the above described systems are effective during various driving conditions, they may be less effective when the vehicle is operated at relative low speeds as seen during typical urban driving. As a result, the performance or fuel efficiency of the vehicle may be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Described herein are control and power storage systems that may be utilized with an electric or hybrid vehicle. Hybrid vehicle as used herein represents a vehicle that utilizes a combination of an electric motor and a heat engine to provide propulsive force to the vehicle. Moreover, as used herein, an electric vehicle represents a vehicle that includes a motor and a plurality of batteries, wherein the batteries provide the propulsive force to operate the vehicle.
The systems include an alternating current (AC) traction drive, a first energy storage system electrically connected to the traction drive through a direct current (DC) link, a second energy storage system electrically connected to the traction drive such that the voltage output from the energy storage system is decoupled from the DC link using a bi-directional boost converter, and a uni-directional current device that is poled to conduct current from low voltage side of the boost converter to the high voltage side of the boost converter.
Specifically, Figure 4 illustrates a vehicle propulsion system 100 that includes a first storage unit 110 that has an input or negative terminal that is coupled to a first bus 114 also referred to a negative DC link, and an output or positive terminal that is electrically coupled to a second bus 124 also referred to a positive DC link. In the exemplary embodiment, the first storage unit 110 is a high specific energy battery that is electrically coupled between the positive and negative DC links 124 and 114 respectively. As such, the negative terminal of high energy battery 110 and ultracapacitor 130 are each electrically coupled to the negative DC link 114 of an inverter 144 on the high voltage side of the boost converter 144.
System 100 also includes a boost converter circuit 120 to boost the voltage available ■from the first storage unit 110. The boost converter circuit 120 may include an inductor (not shown) that couples the first bus 112 to a semiconductor switching device. A second semiconductor switching device couples to the high side 124 of the boost converter 120 that is referred to as the DC Link. The term DC link or sometimes Inverter DC link is used herein to refer to the positive and negative DC busses 112 with respect to 114. The negative portion of the DC link is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the high specific energy battery 110 and the negative terminal of ultracapacitor 140, and the negative terminal of the DC-AC Inverter 144 More specifically, the boost converter 120 has an input side- 122 that sees a voltage that is approximately equivalent to the voltage of the first storage unit 110 and converts this voltage to a second higher voltage that is seen at the boost converter output side 124. Thus the boost converter output side 124 is referred to as the high voltage side of the circuit.
System 100 also includes a first passive storage device 130, such as an ultracapacitor for example, connected to a second channel 128 of the low-side of the boost converter through an inductor (not shown). A unidirectional conducting apparatus 132, such as a diode for example, is poled to conduct current from the high energy battery input channel of the boost converter to the ultracapacitor 130. As shown, the passive storage device 130, the unidirectional conducting apparatus, and the contactor 134 are wired in series between the positive DC bus 112 and the negative DC link 114 on the boost converter low voltage side 122. Ultracapacitor as used herein represents a capacitor comprised of multiple capacitor cells connected in a series arrangement where the capacitor cells each have a capacitance that is greater than 500 Farads. Ultracapacitors are often referred to as "double-layer" capacitors or supercapacitors. In the exemplary embodiment, ultracapacitor 130 has 63 cells connected in series where each cell has voltage rating of 2.7 volts and a capacitance value that is greater than 1000 Farads per cell.
System 100 also includes a second passive storage device 140 that is coupled between the positive DC link 124 and the negative DC link 114 in parallel with the boost converter 120. Specifically, the passive storage device 140 is coupled in parallel with
the high voltage side 124 of the boost converter 120. In the exemplary embodiment, the second storage device 140 is an ultracapacitor.
System 100 also includes a dynamic retarder system 142 that is coupled between the positive DC link 124 and the negative DC link 114 in parallel with the second storage device 140, and an inverter 144 that is coupled to a load 146. In the exemplary embodiment, the dynamic retarder system 142 may include a high power dissipation grid resistor, a serially connected switching device, and a flyback diode that is connected in anti-parallel with the switching device to controllably vary the effective resistance impressed on the DC link 124 and thereby limit the DC voltage developed on link 124 when the motor 146 is operated in a regenerative mode returning electric power to the link through the inverter 144.
In one embodiment, inverter 144 is a DC-to-AC inverter for supplying alternating current and load 146 is an AC motor. Optionally, inverter 144 is a DC chopper or pulse width modulation circuit for providing direct current, and load 146 is a DC motor. System 100 also includes a control system referred to herein as a Vehicle Systems Control (VSC) portion that is configured to operate system 100 in various modes that will be discussed later herein.
In the exemplary embodiment, system 100 also includes a uni-directional current device 150 that is poled to allow current flow from the first storage unit 110 to the high voltage side 124 of the traction boost converter 120, a pre-charge circuit 152 and at least one DC contactor 154. In the exemplary embodiment, the uni-directional current device 150 is a diode. In use, uni-directional current device 150 facilitates channeling current from the pre-charge circuit 152 to the high-side 124 of the traction boost converter 120 to at least partially pre-charge the high-side ultracapacitor 140 from it's initial assumed discharge state, and also provides power to the motor 146 during a "Limp-home" mode of operation in event of failure of the boost converter system.
During operation, the high-side ultracapacitor 140 is quickly pre-charged using pre- charge circuit 152 to approximately the nominal voltage of the high-specific battery
110 that is coupled on the low-side 122 of the boost converter 120. Energy for this initial pre-charge function is provided by the high-specific energy battery 110 and may be completed while the vehicle is stationary within a few seconds of the operator initiating start-up via the ignition switch command, for example. After the initial pre- charge of the ultracapacitor 140 is complete, DC contactor 154 is energized and it's associated power contactors are electrically closed. At this point in time, the traction drive, i.e. motor 146 may be enabled such that the vehicle may be operated at a relatively slow speed. If the system 100 receives a command from the operator, via the VSC 148 for example, that an increase in vehicle speed is desired, the power provided to the motor 146 may be supplemented, using the traction drive, using a heat engine for example in a hybrid vehicle, or by using additional storage units if the vehicle is an all electric vehicle.
More specifically, during a normal mode of operation, the low-side ultracapacitor 130 is pre-charged using energy from the high-side 124 and also energy from the high- specific energy battery 110, through uni-directional current device 150. When the pre-charge of the low-side inputs of the boost converter are completed, i.e. ultracapacitor 130 is at least partially charged, DC contactor 134 is closed and the pre- charge of ultracapacitor 140 continues via the boost converter 120. During operation, maximum voltage of ultracapacitor 130 is approximately two times the nominal voltage of the high-specific energy battery 110. Moreover, during normal operation, ultracapacitor 130 is configured to operate from it's maximum voltage down to approximately 50% of it's maximum voltage such that approximately 75% of total stored or usable energy within ultracapacitor 130 is utilized. In event that that the usable energy stored by ultracapacitor 130 is exhausted and the operator continues to demand additional power to operate the vehicle, diode 132 conducts such that the boost converter is increasing the voltage from the battery 110 to the DC link voltage using two channels of the boost converter thereby allowing approximately twice the rated power compared to a single channel of the boost converter to facilitate increasing the operation speed of the vehicle.
Figure 5 illustrates a system 200 that is substantially similar to system 100 shown in Figure 4. As such numbers used to indicate components in Figure 4 will be used to
indicate the similar component in Figure 5. In system 200 dynamic retarder 142 is not coupled on the high voltage side of boost converter 120, rather the dynamic retarder 142 is coupled on the low voltage side of boost converter 120 through a third channel. In this configuration, dynamic retarder 142 controllably varies the effective power dissipation on the DC link 124 through control of the boost converter and thereby limit the DC voltage developed across the Inverter DC link 124 with respect to 114.
Figure 6 is a graphical illustration of both system 100 and 200 shown during normal operation wherein the DC Link voltage is shown as a function of the motor speed and torque, and wherein the dotted lines represent the exemplary reference values for the associated energy storage component voltages. As shown, the full torque of the drive, for an exemplary AC motor design, is achievable by ramping the reference voltage from some predetermined minimum value to a predetermined maximum reference value at a motor speed of approximately 50% of rated speed. From 50% to 100% rated motor speed, the reference DC Link voltage is held substantially constant. As shown, ultracapacitor 140 voltage fluctuates above and below the reference line as energy is being extracted from or supplied to the device. As the ultracapacitor 140 voltage, i.e. State of Charge approaches the limit, the closed loop control provides additional energy, primarily from ultracapacitor 130, provided it is within it's normal operating range (SOC). When, ultracapacitor 130 is unable to provide the energy, the lower efficiency battery 110 is utilized to provide additional energy. For example, during operation while climbing steep grades for an extended time period, the high- specific energy battery 110 provides the energy, since the energy stored in both ultracapacitors 130 and 140 is substantially depleted. Also, during the limp-home mode, the energy provided the propel the vehicle will be supplement using battery 110.
Figure 7 is a system 300 that is substantially similar to system 100 shown in Figure 4. As such numbers used to indicate components in Figure 4 will be used to indicate the similar component in Figure 7. As such, system 300 also includes an alternator 302, rectifier 304, and a 12 volt Starting Lighting and Ignition (SLI) battery 308 that are utilized to charge the high-specific energy battery 110 through a DC-DC converter 306. In the exemplary embodiment, the converter 306 facilitates isolating the voltage
supplied to the battery 110 from the vehicle chassis. In the exemplary embodiment, alternator 302 is coupled to and driven by a known engine 310 within the vehicle. During operation, the charge power level of battery 110 may be limited, based on the current rating of the alternator 302 and it's associated circuits and also due to the alternator's relatively low efficiency. However, this feature will provide some low- level charging, especially while the vehicle is idling or at low speed operation.
The systems described herein facilitate providing a highly efficient utilization of the ultracapacitor/battery energy storage system. Specifically, transient energy for operation at high motor speed and torque primarily uses a high voltage ultracapacitor in a high efficiency mode, and such that transient energy for operation at moderate speed and torque primarily uses a combination of a high voltage and moderate voltage ultracapacitors, and transient energy for operation at low motor speed and the full range of motor .torque is provided primarily by combination of low voltage battery and the moderate voltage ultracapacitor. As such, ultracapacitor cell balancing issues are minimized by using both multiple ultracapacitor energy storage units with high and moderate voltage requirements
Therefore, the systems described herein facilitate decoupling the DC link voltage from the moderate and low voltage energy storage components which allows improved system performance and efficiency by utilizing the proper energy storage system and associated control as a function of motor speed and torque. The system weight, and thus the weight of the vehicle, is minimized by using a low-voltage, light weight battery as one component of the energy storage. During, All-Electric mode of operation, and also during Limp-Home mode, the systems provide increased range in comparison to configurations that use only ultracapacitor energy storage systems. Moreover, the overall system cost is reduced by sizing the energy storage units to simultaneously achieve the desired performance within component size and weight limits for the electric drive system, and the pre-charge function of the high-side ultracapacitor energy storage is achieved in less time than if the pre-charge function is performed from a conventional high voltage battery.
While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
