A power supply system according to embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented based on a power system for an electric vehicle described in the following.
The power system and an electric vehicle having the same according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described in the following with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the power system for the electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a power battery 10, a charge-discharge socket 20, a motor M, a three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, a motor control switch 40, a charge-discharge control module 50 and a control module 60.
The three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 has a first DC terminal a1 connected with a first terminal of the power battery 10 and a second DC terminal a2 connected with a second terminal of the power battery 10.

The control module 60 is connected with the motor control switch 40 and the charge-discharge control module 50 respectively and is configured to control the motor control switch 40 and the charge-discharge control module 50 according to a current working mode of a power system, such that the electric vehicle can switch between a driving mode and a charge-discharge mode.
Moreover, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the current working mode of the power system may include the driving mode and the charge-discharge mode. In other words, the working mode of the electrical vehicle may include the driving mode and the charge-discharge mode. It should be noted that the charge-discharge mode means that the electric vehicle is either in a charging mode or in a discharging mode.
When the power system is in the driving mode, the control module 60 controls the motor control switch 40 to turn on to drive the motor M normally, and controls the charge-discharge control module 50 to turn off. It should be noted that the motor control switch 40 may also include two switches K3 and K4 connected with a two-phase input to the motor, or even one switch, provided that the control on the motor may be realized. Therefore, other embodiments will not be described in detail herein.
When the power system is in the charge-discharge mode, the control module 60 controls the motor control switch 40 to turn off to stop the motor M and controls the charge-discharge control module 50 to turn on so as to start the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, such that an external power source can charge the power battery 10 normally. The first DC terminal a1 and the second DC terminal a2 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 are connected with a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a DC bus of the power battery 10 respectively.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 includes a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, and a first IGBT1 to a twelfth IGBT12.
Specifically, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in series, the first capacitor C1 has a first terminal connected with the first terminal of the power battery 10 and a second terminal connected with a first terminal of the second capacitor C2, and the second capacitor C2 has a second terminal connected with the second terminal of the power battery 10, in which a first node J1 is defined between the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, in other words, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected between the first DC terminal a1 and the second DC terminal a2 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30. The first IGBT1 and a second IGBT2 are connected in series and are connected between the first DC terminal a1 and the second DC terminal a2 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, in which a second node J2 is defined between the first IGBT1 and the second IGBT2. A third IGBT3 and a fourth IGBT4 are connected in series and are connected between the first node J1 and the second node J2. A fifth IGBT5 and a sixth IGBT6 are connected in series and are connected between the first DC terminal a1 and the second DC terminal a2 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, in which a third node J3 is defined between the fifth IGBT5 and the sixth IGBT6. A seventh IGBT7 and an eighth IGBT8 are connected in series and are connected between the first node J1 and the third node J3. A ninth IGBT9 and a tenth IGBT10 are connected in series and are connected between the first DC terminal a1 and the second DC terminal a2 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, in which a fourth node J4 is defined between the ninth IGBT9 and the tenth IGBT10. An eleventh IGBT11 and a twelfth IGBT12 are connected in series and are connected between the first node J1 and the fourth node J4. The second node J2, the third node J3 and the fourth node J4 are configured as the AC terminal a3 of the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module.
As shown in FIG. 2, the power system for the electric vehicle further includes a first common-mode capacitor C11 and a second common-mode capacitor C12. The first common-mode capacitor C11 and the second common-mode capacitor C12 are connected in series and connected between the first terminal and the second terminal of the power battery 10, in which a node between the first common-mode capacitor C11 and the second common-mode capacitor C12 is grounded.
Generally, a leakage current is large in an inverter and grid system without transformer isolation. Compared with a conventional two-level system, the power system according to embodiments of the present disclosure adopts the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30. By using a three-level control and connecting the first common-mode capacitor C11 and the second common-mode capacitor C12 between the first terminal and the second terminal of the power battery 10, a common-mode voltage can be reduced by half in theory and the large leakage current problem generally existing in controllers can also be solved. A leakage current at an AC side can also be reduced, thus satisfying electrical system requirements of different countries.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the power system for the electric vehicle further includes a filtering module 70, a filtering control module 80 and an EMI-filter module 90.
The filtering module 70 is connected between the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 and the charge-discharge control module 50, and is configured to eliminate a harmonic wave. As shown in FIG. 2, the filtering module 70 includes inductors LA, LB, LC connected in parallel and capacitors C4, C5, C6 connected in parallel, in which the inductor LA is connected with the capacitor C6 in series, the inductor LB is connected with the capacitor C5 in series and the inductor LC is connected with the capacitor C4 in series.
A shown in FIG. 2, the filtering control module 80 is connected between the first node J1 and the filtering module 70, and the control module 60 controls the filtering control module 80 to turn off when the power system is in the driving mode. The filtering control module 80 may be a capacitor switching relay and may include a contactor K10. The EMI-filter module 90 is connected between the charge-discharge socket 20 and the charge-discharge control module 50 and is mainly configured to filter interference of conduction and radiation.
It should be noted that a position of the contactor K10 in FIG. 2 is merely exemplary. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the contactor K10 may be disposed at other positions, provided that the filtering module 70 can be turned off by using the contactor K10. For example, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the contactor K10 can be connected between the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 and the filtering module 70.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the charge-discharge control module 50 further includes a three-phase switch K8 and/or a single-phase switch K7 configured to implement a three-phase or a single-phase charge-discharge.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the power system is in the driving mode, the control module 60 controls the motor control switch 40 to turn on so as to drive the motor M normally, and controls the charge-discharge control module 50 to turn off. In this way, a direct current from the power battery 10 is inverted into an alternating current via the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 and the alternating current is transmitted to the motor M. The motor M can be controlled by a revolving transformer decoder technology and a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) control algorithm.
When the power system is in the charge-discharge mode, the control module 60 controls the motor control switch 40 to turn off so as to stop the motor M, and controls the charge-discharge control module 50 to turn on, such that the external power source such as a three-phase current or a single-phase current can charge the power battery 10 normally via the charge-discharge socket 20. In other words, by detecting a charge connection signal, an AC grid power system and a vehicle battery management information, a controllable rectification function may be implemented via the bidirectional DC-AC module 30, and the power battery 10 may be charged by the single-phase power source and/or the three-phase power source.
With the power system for the electric vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure by adopting the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module, the common-mode voltage and the leakage current are reduced. Because of employing the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 in the energy device, a common-mode voltage is reduced, a leakage current is decreased and a harmonic wave is weakened. Furthermore, a DC-DC voltage increasing and decreasing module is not necessarily required in the energy control device, thus realizing a high power charging, reducing a bus voltage, improving a driving efficiency and shortening a charging time. For example, the driving efficiency may be up to 97%, and the charging time may be shortened to about 10 minutes. Besides, with the power system according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric vehicle may be charged without a dedicated charging pile, thus reducing cost and facilitating popularization of the electric vehicle. Furthermore, the electric vehicle may be directly charged with an AC electricity without the dedicated charging pile, which significantly facilitate the use and popularization of the electric vehicle.

After step 504, the control module 60 controls the motor control switch 40 to turn on, the power system is in the driving mode, the control module 60 samples the whole vehicle information and drives the motor M according to the whole vehicle information.
A motor driving control function is performed. As shown in FIG. 6, the control module 60 sends a PWM signal to control the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30, so as to invert the DC electricity from the power battery 10 into the AC electricity and transmit the AC electricity to the motor M. Subsequently, the control module 60 obtains a rotor location via a resolving transformer and samples the bus voltage and B-phase and C-phase currents of the motor so as to make the motor M operate precisely. In other words, the control module 60 adjusts the PWM signal according to the B-phase and C-phase current signals of the motor sampled by a current sensor and feedback information from the resolving transformer, such that the motor M may operate precisely.
Thus, by sampling the throttle, brake and gear information of the whole vehicle and determining a current operation state of the vehicle, an accelerating function, a decelerating function and an energy feedback function can be implemented, such that the whole vehicle can operates safely and reliably under any condition, thus ensuring the safety, dynamic performance and comfort of the vehicle.

(1) Connection Confirmation and Start of Charge-Discharge Function
As shown in FIG. 7, a process of determining whether to start the charge-discharge function of the power system includes the following steps.
At step 701, the physical connection between the connection assembly 1002 and the charge-discharge socket 20 is finished.
At step 702, a power supply apparatus determines whether the charge connection signal (i.e. the CC signal) is normal, if yes, step 703 is executed; if no, step 702 is returned for another determining.
At step 703, the power supply apparatus determines whether a voltage of a CP detecting point is 9V. If yes, step 706 is executed; if no, step 702 is returned for another determining. 9V is a predetermined value and is just exemplary.
At step 704, the control module 60 determines whether the charge connection signal (i.e. the CC signal) is normal. If yes, step 705 is executed; if no, step 704 is returned for another determining.
At step 705, the output charge connection signal and a charge indicator lamp signal are pulled down.
At step 706, the power system performs the charge or discharge function, that is, the power system is in the charge-discharge mode.
As shown in FIG. 8, a process of controlling the power system in the charging mode includes following steps.
At step 801, it is determined whether the power system starts to operate totally after being powered. If yes, step 802 is executed; if no, step 801 is returned for another determining.
At step 802, a resistance of a CC (charge connection) detecting point is detected, so as to determine a capacity of the connection assembly 1002.
At step 803, it is determined whether a PWM signal with a constant duty ratio at the CP detecting point is detected. If yes, step 804 is executed; if no, step 805 is executed.
At step 804, a message indicating the charge connection is normal and the charge is prepared is sent out and a message indicating BMS permits the charge and a charge contactor turns on is received, and step 806 is executed.
At step 805, a fault occurs in the charge connection.
At step 806, the control module 60 turns on an internal switch.
At step 807, it is determined whether an AC external charging apparatus does not send a PWM wave in a predetermined time such as 1.5 seconds. If yes, step 808 is executed; if no, step 809 is executed.
At step 808, it is determined that the external charging apparatus is an external national standard charging post and the PWM wave is not sent out during the charge.
At step 809, the PWM wave is sent to the power supply apparatus.
At step 810, it is determined whether an AC input is normal in a predetermined time such as 3 seconds. If yes, step 813 is executed; if no, step 811 is executed.
At step 811, a fault occurs in the AC external charging apparatus.
At step 812, the fault is processed.
At step 813, the power system enters the charging stage.
In other words, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, after the power supply apparatus and the control module 60 detect themselves and no fault occurs therein, the capacity of the connection assembly 1002 may be determined by detecting a voltage of the CC signal, and it is determined whether the connection assembly 1002 is connected totally by detecting the CP signal. After it is determined that the connection assembly 1002 is connected totally, the message indicating the charge connection is normal and the charge is prepared is sent out, and the three-phase switch K8 is controlled to turn on and thus the charge or discharge is prepared, i.e., functions such as the AC charge function (G to V, grid to vehicle), the off-grid on-load function (V to L, vehicle to load), the grid connection function (V to G, vehicle to grid) and the vehicle-to-vehicle charging function (V to V, vehicle to vehicle), may be set via the dashboard.
(2) AC Charge Function (G to V)
When the power system receives a charging instruction from the dashboard 102, the control module 60 sets a proper charging power according to a power supply capability of the charging pile and a capacity of a charging cable. Moreover, the control module 60 samples information of a grid, determines an electric system of the grid and selects control parameters according to the electric system of the grid. After the control parameters are selected, the control module 60 controls the contactor K10 to turn on and then controls the three-phase switch K8 to turn on. At this time, the control module 60 controls the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 to rectify the AC electricity. A minimum charging current is selected from a maximum charging current allowed by the battery manager, a maximum current flow capacity allowed by the charging pile and a maximum output power of the control module and used as a predetermined target charging current and a closed-loop current control is performed on the power system, such that the on-vehicle power battery can be charged.
(3) Off-Grid on-Load Function (V to L)
When the power system receives a V to L instruction from the dashboard 102, it is first determined whether a state of charge (SOC) of the power battery 10 is in an allowable discharging range. If yes, an output electric system is selected according to the V to L instruction. A maximum output power is selected intelligently and control parameters are given according to the rated current of the connection assembly 1002, and then the power system enters a control process. First, the control module 60 controls the three-phase switch K8 and the contactor K10 to turn on and the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 inverts the DC electricity into the AC electricity, and thus electric apparatuses may be powered by the AC electricity directly via a dedicated charge socket.
(4) Grid Connection Function (V to G)
When the power system receives a V to G instruction from the dashboard 102, it is first determined whether the state of charge (SOC) of the power battery 10 is in the allowable discharging range. If yes, an output electric system is selected according to the V to G instruction.
A maximum output power is selected intelligently and controls parameters are given according to the rated current of the connection assembly 1002, and the power system enters a control process. First, the control module 60 controls the three-phase switch K8 and the contactor K10 to turn on and controls the three-phase bidirectional DC-AC module 30 to invert the DC electricity into the AC electricity. And the control module 60 performs the closed-loop current control on the power system according to a predetermined target discharging current and the phase currents fed back from a current sampling, so as to implement the grid connection discharging.
(5) Vehicle-to-Vehicle Charging Function (V to V)
The V to V function requires a dedicated connection plug. When the power system determines that the charge connection signal (i.e. CC signal) is effective and the connection plug is a dedicated charge plug for the V to V function by detecting a level of the connection plug, the power system is prepared for an instruction from the dashboard. For example, assuming vehicle A charges vehicle B, the vehicle A is set in a discharging state, i.e. the vehicle A is set to perform the off-grid on-load function. The control module in vehicle A sends the message indicating the charge connection is normal and the charge is prepared to the battery manager 103. The battery manager 103 controls a charge or discharge circuit to perform the pre-charging, and sends the message indicating the charge is permitted and the charging contactor turns on to the control module after the pre-charging is finished. Then, the power system performs the discharging function and sends the PWM signal. After the vehicle B receives the charging instruction, the power system therein detects a CP signal which determines that the vehicle A is prepared to supply power, and the control module 60 sends a normal connection message to the battery manager. After receiving the message, the battery manager 103 finishes the pre-charging process and informs the control module 60 that the whole power system is prepared for the charge. Then, the vehicle-to-vehicle charging function (V to V) starts, and thus vehicles can charge each other.
In other words, after the power system is powered, when the V to V instruction from the dashboard 102 is received by the control module 60, the charge connection signal and relevant information on whole vehicle battery management are detected, and the vehicle is set in an AC power output state and sends the CP signal by simulating a charging box, so as to communicate with the vehicle to be charged. For example, a vehicle A is set in the discharging mode and the control module 60 therein simulates the power supply apparatus to implement functions thereof, and the vehicle B to be charged is connected with the vehicle A via a dedicated charging wire, and thus the vehicle-to-vehicle charging function is implemented.
In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a process of controlling the power system when the charging of the electric vehicle is finished includes the following steps.
At step 1301, the power supply apparatus turns off a power supply switch to stop outputting the AC electricity, and then step 1305 is executed.
At step 1302, the control module stops the charge and performs the unloading, and step 1303 is executed.
At step 1303, after the unloading is finished, the internal switch turns off and a charge finishing message is sent out.
At step 1304, a power outage request is sent out.
At step 1305, the charge is finished.
As shown in FIG. 10, a power supply apparatus 301 is connected with a vehicle plug 303 of an electric vehicle 1000 via a power supply plug 302, so as to charge the electric vehicle 1000. The power system of the electric vehicle 1000 detects a CP signal via a detecting point 3 and detects a CC signal via a detecting point 4, and the power supply apparatus 301 detects the CP signal via a detecting point 1 and detects the CC signal via a detecting point 2. After the charge is finished, the internal switches S2 in both the power supply plug 302 and the vehicle plug 303 are controlled to turn off.
In another embodiment, a plurality of power systems connected in parallel can be used in the electric vehicle to charge the power battery. For example, two power systems connected in parallel are used to charge the power battery, and the two power systems use a common control module.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a charging system for the electric vehicle includes the power battery 10, a first charging branch, a second charging branch and a control module 60.
The first charging branch includes a first rectifying unit (i.e., a three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30) and a first charging interface (i.e., a charge socket). The second charging branch includes a second rectifying unit (i.e., a three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30) and a second charging interface (i.e., a charge socket). The power battery is connected with the first charging interface via the first rectifying unit in turns and is connected with the second charging interface via the second rectifying unit. The control module is connected with the first rectifying unit and the second rectifying unit respectively and is configured to control the grid to charge the power battery respectively via the first charging branch and the second charging branch, when receiving a charging signal.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling charging an electric vehicle. The method includes following steps.
At step S1101, when a control module determines that a first charging branch is connected with a power supply apparatus via a charge-discharge socket and a second charging branch is connected with the power supply apparatus via the charge-discharge socket, the control module sends a charge connection signal to a battery manager.
At step S1102, after receiving the charge connection signal sent from the control module, the battery manager detects and determines whether a power battery needs to be charged, if yes, a next step is executed.
At step S1103, the battery manager sends a charging signal to the control module.
At step S1104, after receiving the charging signal, the control module controls the grid to charge the power battery via the first charging branch and the second charging branch respectively.
With the charging system for the electric vehicle and the method for controlling charging the electric vehicle according to the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the control module controls the grid to charge the power battery via the first charging branch and the second charging branch respectively, such that a charging power of the electric vehicle is increased and a charging time is shortened greatly, thus implementing a fast charge and saving a time cost.

The charge-discharge socket 20 includes a single-phase charging socket 501 such as the United States standard charging socket, a three-phase charging socket 502 such as the European standard charging socket and two high-voltage connectors K503 and K504. A CC terminal, a CP terminal and a CE terminal are common terminals for the single-phase charging socket 501 and the three-phase charging socket 502. The single-phase charging socket 501 has an L-phase wire and an N-phase wire connected with an A-phase wire and a B-phase wire of the three-phase charging socket 502 via the connectors K503 and K504 respectively. When receiving a single-phase charge or discharge instruction, the control module 60 controls the connectors K503 and K504 to turn on, such that the A-phase and B-phase wires of the three-phase charging socket 502 are connected with the L-phase and N-phase wires of the single-phase charging socket 501 respectively. The three-phase charging socket 502 does not operate, and instead of the L-phase and N-phase wires of the single-phase charging socket 501, the A-phase and B-phase wires of the three-phase charging socket 502 are connected with the charge plug, and thus the control module 60 can perform the single-phase charge function normally.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, a standard 7-core socket is used and the single-phase switch K7 is added between the N-phase and B-phase wires. When receiving the single-phase charge or discharge instruction, the control module 60 controls the single-phase switch K7 to turn on so as to connect the B-phase wire with the N-phase wire. Then, the A-phase and B-phase wires are used as the L-phase and N-phase wires respectively, and the connection plug should be a dedicated connection plug or a connection plug whose B-phase and C-phase wires are not used.
In other words, in some embodiments, the power system detects a voltage of the grid via the control module 60 and determines the frequency and the single-phase/three-phase of the grid by calculation, so as to obtain the grid electric system. Then, the control module 60 selects different control parameters according to a type of the charge-discharge socket 20 and the grid electric system. Furthermore, the control module 60 controls the three-level bidirectional DC-AC module 30 to rectify the alternating current controllably to obtain the DC electricity and to transmit the DC electricity to the power battery 10.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, an off-grid on-load discharging socket includes two-core, three-core and four-core sockets connected with a charge plug, and is configured to output single-phase or three-phase electricity.

As shown in FIG. 14, the power carrier communication system 2000 includes a plurality of control devices 110, a vehicle power cable 120 and a plurality of power carrier communication devices 130.
Specifically, each of the control devices 110 has a communication interface, in which the communication interface may be, for example, but is not limited to, a serial communication interface SCI. The vehicle power cable 120 supplies power to the control devices 110, and the control devices 110 communicate with each other via the vehicle power cable 120. The power carrier communication devices 130 correspond to the control devices 110 respectively, and the control devices 110 are connected with corresponding power carrier communication devices 130 via their own communication interfaces respectively, and the power carrier communication devices 130 are connected with each other via the vehicle power cable 120. The power carrier communication devices 130 obtain a carrier signal from the vehicle power cable 120 so as to demodulate the carrier signal and send the demodulated carrier signal to the corresponding control device 110, and also receive and demodulate information sent from the corresponding control device 110 and send the demodulated information to the vehicle power cable 120.

For example, when the control device 1 needs to be communicated with the control device 2, the control device 2 first sends a carrier signal to the power carrier communication device 2, and the power carrier communication device 2 demodulates the carrier signal and sends the demodulated carrier signal to the vehicle power cable 120. Then, the power carrier communication device 1 obtains the carrier signal from the vehicle power cable 120, and sends the demodulated carrier signal to the control device 1.
As shown in FIG. 15, each of the power carrier communication devices 130 includes a coupler 131, a filter 133, an amplifier 134 and a modem 132 connected sequentially.
Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the plurality of power carrier communication devices 130, such as eight power carrier communication devices 1-8, are connected with a gateway 300 via a vehicle power cable bundle 121 and a vehicle power cable bundle 122, and each power carrier communication device corresponds to one control device. For example, the power carrier communication device 1 corresponds to a transmission control device 111, the power carrier communication device 2 corresponds to a generator control device 112, the power carrier communication device 3 corresponds to an active suspension device 113, the power carrier communication device 4 corresponds to an air-conditioner control device 114, the power carrier communication device 5 corresponds to an air bag 115, the power carrier communication device 6 corresponds to a dashboard display 116, the power carrier communication device 7 corresponds to a fault diagnosis device 117, and the power carrier communication device 8 corresponds to an illumination device 118.

At step 2105, the system enters a state in which the data is received.
With the power carrier communication system for the electric vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a data transmission and sharing among various control systems in the electric vehicle can be achieved without increasing internal cable bundles of the vehicle. Moreover, a power carrier communication using the power cable as a communication medium avoids constructing and investing a new communication network, thus reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.

Therefore, the motor control has various functions, thus facilitating the use of a user largely. In addition, with the three-level control, the common-mode voltage is greatly reduced, the leakage current is decreased, the harmonic wave is weakened, and the charging efficiency is improved.
