Based on current research into the mathematical model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the feedback linearization theory, a control strategy established upon feedback linearization is proposed. The Lie differential operation is performed on the output variable to obtain the state feedback of the nonlinear system, and the dynamic characteristics of the original system are transformed into linear dynamic characteristics. A current controller based on the input–output feedback linearization algorithm is designed to realize the input–output linearization control of the PMSM. The current controller decouples the d–q axis current from the flux linkage information of the motor and outputs a control voltage. When the motor speed reaches above the base speed, the field-forward and straight-axis current components are newly distributed to achieve field weakening control, which can realize the smooth transition between the constant torque region and weak magnetic region. Simulation and experimental results show the feasibility and viability of the strategy.

Due to the symmetrical structure, consistent working characteristics in the forward and reverse operations, and good soft-switching characteristics, bidirectional CLLLC resonant converters are widely used in electric vehicles and other fields. To meet the requirements of the on-board charger, this paper uses a bidirectional CLLLC resonant converter as the rear-stage of the on-board charger. The converter uses a constant voltage and constant current control in the forward operation and voltage and current double-closed-loop control in the reverse operation. Aiming at the problem whereby the voltage gain range of the bidirectional CLLLC resonant converter is relatively narrow under frequency-conversion control, the paper proposed a hybrid control method of frequency conversion and phase shift. Frequency-conversion control is used when the voltage gain is high, and phase-shift control is used when the voltage gain is low. The output voltage range of the converter is effectively broadened, and zero voltage switching and zero current switching can be realized in the full load range to improve operating efficiency. A 3.3 kW bidirectional CLLLC resonant converter simulation system is built in the simulation software. The simulation results verify the correctness and feasibility of the designed circuit and control method.

This paper presents a single-phase and three-phase compatible isolated on-board charger for electric vehicles. The charger is compatible with the single-phase and three-phase AC voltage input and is composed of two-stage circuits. Based on the three-phase six-switch power factor correction (PFC) circuit, by switching on and off, the front stage is transformed into a cascade topology of a totem-pole PFC circuit and boost circuit. The rear stage is a full-bridge LLC resonant converter. In the single-phase or three-phase working mode, the front-stage control strategy is a double closed-loop control. The current inner loop controller is improved for the three-phase six-switch PFC circuit. The PI controller and repetitive controller are connected in parallel to form the current inner loop compound controller, which can effectively reduce the total harmonic distortion of the input current. By using simulation software MATLAB/Simulink, the circuit model was built. The simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

Low-temperature preheating, fast charging, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities are important factors for the further development of electric vehicles (EVs). However, for conventional two-stage chargers, the EV charging/discharging instructions and grid instructions cannot be addressed simultaneously for specific requirements, pulse heating and variable-current charging can cause high-frequency power fluctuations at the grid side. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bidirectional grid-friendly charger for EVs operated under pulse-current heating and variable-current charging. The DC bus, which serves as the medium connecting the bidirectional DC–DC and bidirectional DC–AC, typically employs capacitors. This paper analyzes the reasons why the use of capacitors in the DC bus cannot satisfy the grid and EV requirements, and it proposes a new DC bus configuration that utilizes energy storage batteries instead of capacitors. Due to the voltage-source characteristics of the energy storage batteries, EV instructions and grid instructions can be flexibly and smoothly scheduled by using phase-shift control and adaptive virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control, respectively. In addition, the stability of the control strategy is demonstrated using small signal modeling. Finally, typical operating conditions (such as EV pulse preheating, fast charging with variable current, and grid peak shaving and valley filling) are selected for validation. The results show that in the proposed charger, the grid scheduling instructions and EV charging/discharging instructions do not interfere with each other, and different commands between EVs also do not interfere with each other under a charging pile with dual guns. Without affecting the requirements of EVs, the grid can change the proportion of energy supply based on actual scenarios and can also obtain energy from either EVs or energy storage batteries. For the novel charger, the pulse modulation time for EVs consistently achieves a steady state within 0.1 s; thus, the pulse modulation speed is as much as two times faster than that of conventional chargers with identical parameters.

The high-frequency signal injection-type maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) algorithm is usually employed to control the operation of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs). The MTPA algorithm exhibits good dynamic performance and anti-interference ability. However, due to the injection of a high-frequency current signal, problems such as torque ripple and additional loss are encountered. Therefore, in this paper, a virtual signal injection control (VSIC) method that does not require actual injection is proposed for solving the aforementioned problems while yielding good performance. However, in the control process of the proposed method, the d-axis inductance parameter affects the accuracy of the torque information, resulting in errors in the system. To solve this problem, an online identification algorithm of model reference adaptive systems (MRAS) based on the Popov super stability theory as the basis for the design of the adaptive law is proposed in this paper. The d-axis inductance parameter of the motor is obtained in real-time and then introduced into the control system by using the VSIC method. Finally, VSIC-type MTPA control based on inductance identification is realized. The proposed algorithm does not depend on the design parameters of the motor and exhibits good dynamic response and anti-interference performance.
