Description
第1蓄電部の正極端子に電気的に接続可能な高電位側電気経路と、
第2蓄電部の負極端子に電気的に接続可能な低電位側電気経路と、
前記高電位側電気経路に電気的に接続された上アームスイッチ、及び前記低電位側電気経路に電気的に接続された下アームスイッチを有するインバータと、
前記上アームスイッチ及び前記下アームスイッチの接続点に電気的に接続されたモータと、
を備える電力変換装置において、
前記第1蓄電部の負極端子と前記第2蓄電部の正極端子とを電気的に接続する蓄電部間電気経路に設けられた蓄電部間スイッチと、
前記第1蓄電部及び前記第2蓄電部の負極端子同士の電気的な接続と、前記第1蓄電部及び前記第2蓄電部の正極端子同士の電気的な接続とのうち、少なくとも一方の電気的な接続を行うバイパススイッチと、
前記蓄電部間スイッチ及び前記バイパススイッチのうち、いずれか一方のスイッチをオン操作する前に他方のスイッチがオン固着しているか否かを判定する制御部と、を備える。
以下、本開示に係る電力変換装置を具体化した第1実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態の電力変換装置は、電気自動車やハイブリッド車等の電動車両、電動航空機、電動船等に搭載され、電動移動体システムを構成する。
・図6~8を用いて説明したオン固着判定は、電力変換装置の起動時ではなく、電力変換装置の終了時に行ってもよい。電力変換装置の終了時、すなわち、充電が完了した後は、各スイッチはオフ状態に制御されるため、起動時と同じ方法でオン固着を判定することができる。ただし、電力変換装置の終了時には充電を行ったことにより平滑コンデンサ21に電荷が溜まっている。したがって、電力変換装置の終了時にオン固着を判定するためには、平滑コンデンサ21を放電させて平滑コンデンサ21の電圧を0Vにする必要がある。平滑コンデンサ21を放電させる方法としては、例えば、インバータ20及びモータ10にd軸電流を流して放電させる方法が挙げられる。なお、電力変換装置の起動時には平滑コンデンサ21の電圧は0Vであるため、このような放電工程は不要である。
以下、図10~13を参照して第2実施形態について説明する。第2実施形態が第1実施形態と異なるのは、電力変換装置の起動時に制御対象となるスイッチである。第1実施形態と重複する構成については符号を引用してその説明は省略する。以下、相違点を中心に説明する。
・図10~12を用いて説明したオン固着判定は、電力変換装置の起動時ではなく、電力変換装置の終了時に行ってもよい。電力変換装置の終了時、すなわち、充電が完了した後は、各スイッチはオフ状態に制御されるため、起動時と同じ方法でオン固着を判定することができる。ただし、電力変換装置の終了時には充電を行ったことにより平滑コンデンサ21に電荷が溜まっている。したがって、電力変換装置の終了時にオン固着を判定するためには、平滑コンデンサ21を放電させて平滑コンデンサ21の電圧を0Vにする必要がある。平滑コンデンサ21を放電させる方法は、第1実施形態の変形例と同様である。
以下、図14を参照して第3実施形態について説明する。第1実施形態と重複する構成については符号を引用してその説明は省略する。以下、相違点を中心に説明する。図14は、第3実施形態における電力変換装置の構成図である。図14に示すように、電力変換装置は、少なくとも電池間スイッチ40の両端電圧を検出する電池間スイッチ電圧センサ76、負極間バイパススイッチ50の両端電圧を検出するバイパススイッチ電圧センサ77、第1蓄電池31の正極端子及び第2蓄電池32の正極端子間の電圧である端子間電圧を検出する端子間電圧センサ78、高電位側電気経路22H及び低電位側電気経路22L間の電圧であるPN間電圧を検出するPN間電圧センサ79、のいずれか1つを備える。
・図15~18を用いて説明したオン固着判定は、電力変換装置の起動時ではなく、電力変換装置の終了時に行ってもよい。電力変換装置の終了時、すなわち、充電が完了した後は、各スイッチはオフ状態に制御されるため、起動時と同じ方法でオン固着を判定することができる。
以下、第4実施形態について説明する。先の実施形態では、電池間スイッチ40及び負極間バイパススイッチ50のオン固着を判定し、電池間スイッチ40及び負極間バイパススイッチ50がオン固着していないと判定した場合に充電を開始すると説明した。電池間スイッチ40及び負極間バイパススイッチ50がオン固着していないと判定した後で、充電を開始する前にその他のスイッチが故障しているか否かを判定してもよい。以下では、直列モード、並列モード及び直列中性点モードのそれぞれについて、判定方法の一例を説明する。
以下、第5実施形態について、第1実施形態との相違点を中心に図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態では、図25に示すように、電力変換装置は、第2蓄電池32の正極端子と高電位側電気経路22Hとを接続する正極間バイパススイッチ51を備える一方、先の図1に示した負極間バイパススイッチ50を備えていない。また、電力変換装置は、モータ側電気経路25と高電位側電気経路22Hとの間に中性点コンデンサ91及び中性点コンデンサ91の電圧を検出するNC電圧センサ75Aを備える一方、先の図1に示した中性点コンデンサ90及びNC電圧センサ75を備えていない。また、モータ側電気経路25は、電機子巻線11の中性点と、電池間電気経路24のうち電池間スイッチ40よりも第1蓄電池31側の部分とを接続する。モータ側電気経路25には、モータ側スイッチ61が設けられている。また、第1蓄電池31の電圧は200Vであり、第2蓄電池32の電圧は400Vである。
・電池間スイッチ40や正極間バイパススイッチ51のオン固着について、図27に示すフローチャートに沿って判定してもよい。以下、フローチャートについて説明する。フローチャートの開始時点における各スイッチの初期状態は、制御装置100からのオフ指令を受けている状態である。
以下、第6実施形態について、第5実施形態との相違点を中心に図面を参照しつつ説明する。図28に示すように、電力変換装置は、少なくとも電池間スイッチ40の両端電圧を検出する電池間スイッチ電圧センサ86、正極間バイパススイッチ51の両端電圧を検出するバイパススイッチ電圧センサ87、第1蓄電池31の負極端子及び第2蓄電池32の負極端子間の電圧である端子間電圧を検出する端子間電圧センサ88、高電位側電気経路22H及び低電位側電気経路22L間の電圧であるPN間電圧を検出するPN間電圧センサ89、のいずれか1つを備える。
・図29~32を用いて説明したオン固着判定は、電力変換装置の起動時ではなく、電力変換装置の終了時に行ってもよい。電力変換装置の終了時、すなわち、充電が完了した後は、各スイッチはオフ状態に制御されるため、起動時と同じ方法でオン固着を判定することができる。
以下、第7実施形態について、第1実施形態との相違点を中心に図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態では、図33に示すように、電力変換装置は、第2蓄電池32の正極端子と高電位側電気経路22Hとを接続する正極間バイパススイッチ51を更に備える。
以下、第8実施形態について、第5実施形態との相違点を中心に図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態では、図34に示すように、電力変換装置は、第1蓄電池31の負極端子と低電位側電気経路22Lとを接続する負極間バイパススイッチ50を更に備える。
以下、第9実施形態について、上記各実施形態との相違点を中心に図面を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態では、図35に示すように、モータ側スイッチとして、電機子巻線11の中性点と第1蓄電池31の負極端子とを接続するスイッチに加え、電機子巻線11の中性点と第2蓄電池32の正極端子とを接続するスイッチが備えられている。
