Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method, a device, a power system, and an electric vehicle. The method is applied to a motor controller of the power system. The power system further includes a power battery, a motor, and an inverter. The method includes: sending a first control signal to the inverter when a cell temperature of the power battery satisfies a preset heating condition for the power battery; where the first control signal is configured to control the inverter to convert an electricity provided by the power battery into an alternating current with a frequency changing randomly, and the alternating current with the frequency changing randomly is configured to supply power to the motor.

Claims (21)

1. A control method being applied to a power system, wherein the power system comprises a power battery, a motor, and an inverter, the method comprising:

obtaining a battery cell temperature of the power battery; and

sending a first control signal to the inverter when the battery cell temperature of the power battery satisfies a preset heating condition for the power battery;

wherein the first control signal is configured to control the inverter to convert an electricity provided by the power battery into an alternating current with a randomly changing frequency, and the alternating current with the randomly changing frequency is configured to supply power to the motor;

wherein before the sending the first control signal, the method further comprises:

randomly generating a plurality of set frequencies, and determining a duration of each of the plurality of set frequencies according to each of the plurality of set frequencies;

determining a reference value sequence of a d-axis component according to the plurality of set frequencies and the duration of each of the plurality of set frequencies, and setting a reference signal sequence of a q-axis component as a null sequence; and

generating the first control signal according to the reference value sequence of the d-axis component, the reference value sequence of the q-axis component, and motor parameters of the motor.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the duration of each of the plurality of set frequencies according to each of the plurality of set frequencies comprises:

determining an entire cycle duration corresponding to a set frequency as a duration of the set frequency; or

determining a half cycle duration corresponding to a set frequency as a duration of the set frequency.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending a second control signal to the inverter when the battery cell temperature of the power battery satisfies the preset heating condition for the power battery;

wherein the second control signal is configured to control the inverter to convert the electricity provided by the power battery into an alternating current with an amplitude changing periodically, and the alternating current with the amplitude changing periodically is configured to supply power to the motor.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, before the sending the second control signal, the method further comprises:

determining a plurality of set amplitudes and a duration of each of the plurality of set amplitudes according to heating parameters of the power battery and a maximum noise threshold value;

determining a reference value sequence of a d-axis component according to the plurality of set amplitudes and the duration of each of the plurality of set amplitudes, and setting a reference value sequence of a q-axis component as a null sequence; and

generating the second control signal according to the reference value sequence of the d-axis component, the reference value sequence of the q-axis component, and motor parameters of the motor.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the heating parameters comprise a heating rate and a heating duration.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein an amplitude reference value in the reference value sequence of the d-axis component is periodically increased or periodically decreased.

7. A power system, comprising: a power battery, an inverter, a motor, and a motor controller, wherein the motor controller is configured to perform the control method according to claim 1 .
