SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHARGING CAPACITORS OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

An electric vehicle is provided having an electric generator and a motor. A voltage bus including a DC link is configured to provide generated electrical energy to the motor. A controller may estimate the charging current to a capacitor of the voltage bus based on the current commanded from the generator and the voltage measured across the capacitor. The controller may adjust the charging rate of the capacitor based on the estimated charging current.
