MRI: Acquisition of Instruments for the Research of the Control and Diagnosis of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

目的：本课题旨在建立固定式插电式混合动力汽车测试/仿真系统。该系统将以所要求的仪器为基础，用于支持各种研究活动，包括永磁电机的智能控制；容错电源变换器；电池功率和热管理，以及电池进行性损伤的数字诊断。此外，该项目将为工程教育提供最先进的插电式混合动力设计/测试设施。智力优势：拟议的项目计划将插电式混合动力汽车的控制/诊断技术和评估/测试培训纳入研究和教育中，以满足美国汽车工业当前和未来的需求，以及美国能源依赖的范式转变。建议的办法将调查：1。基于智能直接转矩控制的电机驱动性能改进2. 电源变换器故障检测/补偿方案；3. 电池热管理与电池进行性损伤的数字化诊断。更广泛的影响：密歇根大学迪尔伯恩分校独特地坐落在三大汽车公司（通用、福特和克莱斯勒）和众多小型汽车公司之间。他们需要一个离他们很近的机构，能够提供掌握新技术的合格人员。拟议的项目和仪器的收购将为与当地汽车公司合作创造机会。拟议项目的成果不仅将提供与当今汽车行业相关的有用和必要的研究和教育经验，而且还将通过提供更多合格的学生来帮助支持该行业。

Objective: The proposed project aims at establishing the stationary PHEV test/emulation system. This system, based on the acquisition of requested instruments, will be used to support various research activities, including intelligent controls of permanent magnet motors; fault tolerant power converters; battery power and thermal management, and digital diagnosis of progressive damage in the battery. In addition, the project will provide a state-of-the-art PHEV design/testing facility in engineering education.Intellectual Merit: The proposed project plans to incorporate control/diagnosis technology and evaluation/test training for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the research and education to meet the current and future demands of the U.S. automotive industry and the paradigm shift in U.S. energy dependency. The proposed approaches will investigate: 1. Performance improvement of the electric motor drive based on intelligent direct torque control; 2. Power converter fault detection/compensation schemes; 3. Battery thermal management and digital diagnosis of progressive damage in batteries. Broader Impacts: The University of Michigan-Dearborn is uniquely housed in the midst of the Big 3 (GM, Ford, and Chrysler) and numerous small automotive companies. They need an institution in close proximity capable of supplying qualified personnel in the new technology. The proposed project and acquisition of the instruments will create opportunities to co-operate with local automotive companies. The outcomes of the proposed project will not only offer a useful and needed research and educational experience that is relevant to the automotive industry of the day, but they will also help to bolster the industry by providing more qualified students.
