In this publication, methods for extending the operating range and improving output voltage and current quality are presented for synchronous as well as asynchronous PWM methods for the entire operating range for this system configuration. Emphasis is placed on symmetrical power sharing between the inverters to maximize the power range. Optimal integration of the system is achieved by the topology-related possibility of DC fast charging of the energy storages from a DC grid without an additional charging unit.

Especially for high-speed operation, the methods keep the machine in the required state while decreasing the switching operations to a minimum. Method one aims to compensate voltage fluctuations of variable DC-link voltages, while the second method ensures a symmetrical power distribution for the two inverter systems. In addition, both methods offer the possibility of adapting the amplitude of the usually fixed fundamental load voltage during square-wave modulation.

In order to guarantee the quality and operational safety of battery-powered vehicles, considerable efforts must be made by car manufacturers and their suppliers. Since the properties of the batteries significantly determine the performance of the vehicles, special test benches with precise measuring systems are required for the accurate determination of the battery properties. The safety devices of the traction batteries must also be tested on high-performance test benches. In this paper the necessary test benches and the corresponding measuring systems are presented. Estimations of the measurement uncertainty and possibilities to increase measurement accuracy are presented.

Therefore, a dual two-level inverter with two separate energy storages and an open-end winding machine is used. New control algorithms allow the charging of the energy sources whether two batteries, a combination of a battery and a fuel cell or a combination of battery and a flying capacitor is used. Within the scope of battery performance, this application is able to absorb or deliver the required power from a DC grid and still feed the electrical machine to enable a driving movement of the electric vehicle. As the presented concepts enable voltage balancing due to different battery loads and the use of only one dynamic energy storage in the charging operation, the shown application aims to achieve the high utilization of an electric vehicle powered by a (partly equipped) DC-grid.

Since all possible fault cases under all permissible operating conditions must be covered during qualification, only synthetic test circuits, in which a test requires only a short setup time, are used for this task. In this paper, an n-stage surge current generator for the generation of high short-circuit currents is presented. Using the example of a four-stage resonant circuit surge current converter, the advantages of this test circuit are explained and demonstrated by measurements. Furthermore, instructions for measuring the surge currents are given.

For achieving a high quality DC-current, the parasitic Back-EMF harmonics of the electrical machine will be compensated. The application aims to achieve high utilisation of the electric vehicle in combination with a partly equipped trolley wire net.
