Abstract

This paper investigates the torsional response of an electric powertrain considering the effect of the control methods of the electric motor drive, consisting of a variable frequency drive and an electric motor. The vibratory torque occurring in the mechanics of an electric powertrain driven with classical induction motor control methods (openloop V/Hz and closed-loop V/Hz) were compared. The simulated powertrain was accelerated to a chosen operating speed and a sinusoidal torque excitation was applied. The shaft vibratory torque was calculated over a range of motor operating speeds. The analysis was conducted on simulation results produced using an electric motor drive simulator and a torsional vibration analysis software. The simulation results indicate that the control has a major effect on the torsional response of the powertrain, especially in the case of an improperly configured control system. The combination of the software used is an open-source toolchain for simulating the effects of motor control on the torsional vibration response of powertrain mechanics.
