Design and Implementation of Power Conversion Unit(PCU) for Motor of Electric Vehicle

전기자동차 모터구동용 전력변환장치(PCU) 설계 및 구현

This paper presents design and implementation of the PCU(150 kVA 3-Phase PWM Inverter for Electric Vehicles). For Implementation of the PCU, it is consist with Case, Connectors, IGBT module for PWM switching, DC-capacitor for dc-source, resolver for sensing of speed & position, and PCB board for control & gate-driver. Also, for the purpose of stable operation of the PCU in vehicle with variable torque condition in motor, current control scheme based on torque-map are developed. According to real-car test mode, the prototype of proposed the PCU is verified with performance and stability. Thus, design and implement of the PCU are discussed, and experimental results are presented in this paper.
