Driving–Charging Integrated Controller for Electric Vehicles

Motor driving technology and battery charging technology are the two core technologies of electric vehicles (EVs). They have a profound impact on the performance and mileage of EVs. Based on the topology of a traditional EV motor controller, this study employs the time-sharing multiplexing insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module form to expand the functions of the motor controller. This paper proposes an integrated driving–charging controller structure that enables the controller to realize the motor driving and on-board charging simultaneously. A decoupling analysis was performed at the topology level, mathematical models of two bidirectional converters in the integrated topology were established, and a reasonable control strategy for the double-closed-loop control system was designed. The simulation system was built in Simulink, and the simulation results verified the effectiveness of the system topology and control strategy. We made an integrated controller experimental platform based on TMS320F28335. A resistive load simulated the power battery to verify the charging mode, and a 5 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) was used to verify the driving mode. The experimental results demonstrated the driving–charging integrated controller’s feasibility for electric vehicles.
