Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If MTPA control is used for torque map generation, then measurement precision is improved, but generation speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between MTPA method and square wave method based on voltage utilization ratio. When voltage utilization ratio is high (close to 1), square wave method is used for fast generation. When voltage utilization ratio is low, MTPA method is used for high precision measurement. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between precision and speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the measurement method parameter based on voltage utilization ratio threshold. By monitoring the voltage utilization ratio and switching methods accordingly, the system optimizes the balance between measurement precision and generation speed for different operating conditions.
2Productivity
If square wave method is used for torque map generation, then generation speed is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects measurement method based on voltage utilization ratio. Square wave method is activated when voltage utilization ratio exceeds the threshold, providing fast generation capability. When ratio is below threshold, MTPA method provides high precision. This resolves the speed-precision contradiction.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement method parameter is changed based on voltage utilization ratio conditions. The system transitions between measurement methods to optimize the balance between generation speed and precision according to operating conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If both MTPA control and square wave control are supported, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The torque map generation system is designed to perform multiple functions: it can generate torque maps for both MTPA control and square wave control using the same hardware platform. The controller can switch between measurement methods, making the system universal and adaptable to different control strategies without requiring separate dedicated systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary that manages both MTPA and square wave measurement methods. It monitors voltage utilization ratio and automatically selects the appropriate method, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining support for both control types.
