A hydromechanical variable transmission (HMT) has advantages of continuous variation and high efficiency. So it is one of the ideal transmissions of heavy vehicles. The continuous speed varying process involves speed governing in range and range shift. Integrated control strategy of the HMT is proposed in this paper. The algorithm of the asymmetric saturated incremental proportional integral derivative (PID) speed control strategy in range and range shift conditions are derived. And this paper presents the range shift logic and range shift control strategies. A controller model is built in Matlab Simulink and cosimulated with the model of vehicle equipped with a two-range HMT. The HMT prototype hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) platform of the integrated control strategy is built. The HILS results show that the range shift process is smooth and speed fluctuation does not happen. In the throttle stable stage, the engine speed is adjusted to the near optimal speed, and its change rules are in accordance with simulation results. The integrated control strategy is reasonable.

The Hydro-mechanical variable transmission (HMT) is an infinitely variable and high efficient multi-power flow transmission, whose stepless speed ratio changing process includes speed ratio changing in range and power shift. In this paper, a HMT control strategy is proposed that includes four components: speed control strategy in range, power shift condition, power shift logics and power shift control strategies. The simulation results of the two-range HMT demonstrate that the proposed control strategy can stabilize the engine speed to the target operating area near the optimal speed and can satisfy demands of the vehicle acceleration, slide and brake.

In order to eliminate the effect on the grid current caused by the background harmonic voltage and the reference signal on the grid connected multi-inverter, this paper adopts the double closed-loop feed-forward control strategy. This strategy is based on the inductor voltage and the grid-connected current, and the integrated control strategy of quasi-proportional resonance loop parallel to a specific harmonic compensation loop. Based on the closed-loop model of multiple inverters, the change curves of the transfer function of the two control strategies are compared with the feed-forward control and the composite proportional resonance. The two corresponding control methods are used to analyze the current quality of the multi-inverter impact. Finally, the MATLAB/Simulink simulation model is set up to verify the proposed control strategies. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve better tracking of the sinusoidal command signal at the fundamental frequency, and enhance the anti-interference ability of the system at the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonic frequency.

Given the transmission efficiency fluctuation and response lag problem of hydromechanical continuous variable transmission combined with the complex and variable working environment of a tractor, an integrated control strategy of engine throttle compensation–hydromechanical continuous variable transmission speed regulation is adopted for dual-flow transmission control. On the basis of the estimation of working resistance, a fuzzy algorithm is used to design the throttle compensation law. Considering the maximum driving power of a tractor as the target of variable speed control, an hydromechanical continuous variable transmission efficiency model is established, and the control law of an hydromechanical continuous variable transmission displacement ratio with the maximum driving power of the tractor under any working condition is determined. On the basis of the wavelet neural network proportional–integral–derivative algorithm, the control law of the hydromechanical continuous variable transmission speed regulation is designed, and the parameters of proportional–integral–derivative control are corrected in real time during the control process. Based on MATLAB/Simulink modelling and simulation and the real vehicle verification test, results showed that the influence of hydromechanical continuous variable transmission efficiency fluctuation on the driving power of the entire vehicle, the response lag of the pump-controlled motor system, and the effect of the leakage on the variable speed control and the fluctuation of the working resistance are solved by studying the hydromechanical continuous variable transmission variable speed transmission control strategy. This strategy improves the stability of the tractor speed and ensured the quality of the work, thereby improving the ability of the tractor to adapt to complex working environments.

This paper presents a Fuzzy Logic Control Strategy (FLCS) for an Extended-range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) with series structure. The control strategy design objective of the E-REV is fuel economy. Based on the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery and the desired power for driving, the power required by the vehicle is split between the engine/generator set and the battery by the FLCS. The engine can be operated consistently in a very high efficiency area and the SOC of the battery can be maintained at a reasonable level. Some standard driving cycles and two control strategies of Power Follower Control Strategy (PFCS) and FLCS were simulated with AVL-Cruise and Matlab/Simulink to analyze the vehicle performance. Some simulation results are compared and discussed: the FLCS indicates better performance in terms of fuel consumption.

This paper presents a general integrated procedure of fabricating a Hybrid Electric Motorcycle (HEM). Firstly, a simple model designed and simulated using ADVISOR2002 and the proposed model is exported to MATLAB/SIMULINK. Secondly, the controller schematic and its optimized control strategy are described. In addition, the ratings of the components including the batteries, electric motor, and internal combustion engine (ICE) are calculated based on the design. A 125 cc ICE motorcycle is selected for conversion to HEM. A brushless DC (BLDC) motor assembled in front wheel as accessory propellant. The nominal powers are 8.2 kW at 8500 rpm and 500 W for the ICE and BLDC respectively. The original motorcycle has a Continues Variable Transmission (CVT) that is the best choice for the HEM power transmission because it can operate in automatic handling mode and has high efficiency. Moreover, by using CVT the ICE can be started while it is running at 15 km/h. Finally, the three operating modes of the HEM, the servo motors, and the LCD panel were explained.

To solve the problems of large current stress, difficult soft-switching of all switches, and slow dynamic response of dual active bridge converters, a multi-objective unified optimal control strategy based on triple-phase-shift control was proposed. The forward power flow global modes of triple-phase-shift control were analyzed, and three high-efficiency modes were selected to establish the analytical models of current stress and soft-switching. Combined with these models, the optimal solutions in different modes were derived by using the cost function-optimization equation to overcome the limitation of the Lagrange multiplier method, such that the DAB converter achieved the minimum current stress, and all switches operated in the soft-switching state over the entire power range. At the same time, the virtual power component was introduced in the phase-shift ratio combination, which improved the dynamic response of output voltage under the input voltage or load steps changed by power control. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can optimize the performance of the DAB converter from three aspects, such as current stress, soft-switching, and dynamic response, which achieves multi-objective optimization of the steady-state and dynamic performance of DAB converters.

Multiphase permanent-magnet motors have received a lot of attention in the past few years owing to the merits of high power density, high efficiency and high fault-tolerant capability. Particularly, high fault tolerance is very desirable for safety-critical applications. This paper proposes an improved space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) fault-tolerant control for five-phase permanent-magnet motors. First, generalized five-phase SVPWM fault-tolerant control is deduced and analyzed based on single-phase open-circuit fault, thus obtaining various SVPWM fault-tolerant control strategies and yielding a greatly increased capacity to enhance fault-tolerant performance of motor. Then, an improved SVPWM fault-tolerant control strategy with increased DC bus voltage utilization and reduced current harmonics is proposed and compared with the traditional one. Last, effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy is verified by both simulation and experimental results on a five-phase permanent-magnet motor.

Abstract In the last few years, one considerable factor for the viability and interest in the closed-cycle gas turbine (GT) systems for nuclear or conventional power plant application is its potential to maintain high cycle performance at varying operating conditions. However, for this potential to be realized, more competitive analysis and understanding of its control strategy are importantly required. In this paper, the iterative procedure for three independent control strategies of a 40 MW single-shaft intercooled-recuperated closed-cycle GT incorporated to a generation IV nuclear reactor is been analyzed and their performance at various operating conditions compared. The rationale behind this analysis was to explore different control strategies and to identify potential limitations using each independent control. The inventory control strategy offered a more viable option for high efficiency at changes in ambient and part-load operations, however, operational limitations in terms of size and pressure of inventory tank, rotational speed for which the centrifugal forces acting on the blade tips could become too high, hence would affect the mechanical integrity and compressor performance. The bypass control responds rapidly to load rejection in the event of loss of grid power. And more interestingly, the results showed the need for a mixed or combined control instead of a single independent technique, which is limited in practice due to operational limits.
