Abstract
- An electrical variable transmission (EVT) is an electromagnetic power-split device with two mechanical and two electrical ports. It can be used in hybrid electric vehicles to split the power to the wheels in a part coming from the combustion engine and a part exchanged with the battery. Although crucial for the EVT design and evaluation, no papers are found to give a detailed overview of the different loss components in such a machine and how they can be calculated and measured. In contrast to conventional electrical machines, this machine has more degrees of freedom, which can be exploited to measure the different loss contributions separately. This paper proposes a methodology to identify and measure the different loss components in this kind of machines. The proposed method is able to identify the iron losses in stator and inner rotor, the copper losses, bearing losses, and slip ring friction losses separately. To this end, measurements of both torque and speed sensors in different operating points are combined. The methods are applied to identify the different loss contributions in a prototype permanent magnet assisted EVT, both in no-load operation as under load where its functionality as power-split device is evaluated.
