  • Observer based load power estimation method for hybrid electric vehicles
    Patent number: 10632999
    Abstract: A method of operating a hybrid electric vehicle includes driving an engine to generate mechanical energy, converting the mechanical energy into a first AC voltage, estimating a total DC link current associated with a respective plurality of loads of the hybrid electric vehicle, converting, with a first inverter, the first AC voltage into a DC bus voltage by regulating the DC bus voltage based on the total DC link current, and inverting, with a respective plurality of inverters, the DC bus voltage into a respective plurality of other AC voltages to drive the respective plurality of loads on the hybrid electric vehicle.
    Type: Grant
