TCU Architecture (3)
Torque Estimation
• 2 Methods blended
METHOD 1 (@HIGH SPEED)
» Based on electrical power and motor speed
METHOD 2 (@LOW SPEED)
» Based on motor phase currents
• Estimation error <5% F.S.

TCU Architecture (4)
Thermal Management System
FUNCTION
- Clamp torque for hardware protection (mainly motor coils)
- Broadcast peak torque + boost time
TARGET
Maximize performance & robust protection
Peak system thermal response much faster than sensor dynamics
• Electrical sensor isolation = thermal barrier
• Temperature gradient in coils
• Limited thermal heat capacity (of stator coils) for peak load
⇒ Kalman filter estimates real coil temperature
⇒ Thermal margin dynamic torque limiter

Impact of DC Link Voltage
Design according 800V battery spec (+/- 10%), initial tests at a 400V battery pack, today finalized to
600V
Consequences
Peak motor power ~ VA-availability
Thermal derating for lower voltage only near high speed peak power (pure voltage control)
Limited ampère-turns of motor
Thermal derating figure (simulation)
@800V
80Nm/35kW nominal
@600V
80Nm/35kW nominal
@400V
80Nm/25kW nominal
similar thermal loading along peak line
