Problem (14 points)
The bloc diagram of the traction chain of the Toyota Prius is illustrated in figure 1. It consists in a
serie/parallel hybrid propulsion system.

Figure 1: Bloc diagram of the series/parallel hybrid propulsion system of the Toyota Prius
Such a chain is built around a PM-excited synchronous motor. It is equipped by a three phase
distributed winding in the armature and V-shaped PMs in the rotor, with a pole pair p = 2. Such a
topology is assumed to belong to the smooth air gap brushless AC class. Moreover, the voltage drop
across the armature resistance is supposed to be negligible in the whole speed range.
r
When the motor absorbs its rated current Irms , it exhibits:
• a constant torque region of [0 1200]rpm, developing an electromagnetic torque of 400Nm,
• a flux weakening range reaching 6000rpm at a null electromagnetic power, achieved following
a reduction of the torque angle ψ,
• a flux ratio Rrφ , defined as: r
L Irms
Rrφ = < 1 (5)
Φrms
The motor is fed by a battery pack through an IGBT inverter of 50kW. The battery pack is composed
of 168 NiMH-made storage cells providing a total of 201.6V DC. A boost-chopper enables the increase
of such a voltage to reach a DC bus voltage UDC = 500V at the inverter input.
√
Starting from the base speed, the armature voltage is kept at its maximum value Vmax = π2 UDC ;
the voltage drops across the inverter switches as well as the dead-times introduced to avoid the
simultaneous conduction of the switches of the same leg, are omitted.

⋆ Part 2: Projected motor (6 points)


For the sake of an extension of the flux weakening range, one could investigate the solution consisting
in increasing the inductance L through the substitution of the armature distributed winding by a
concentrated fractional-slot one. Assuming an infinite extension of the flux weakening range, find out:
6. the inductance ratio LL∞ . (0.5 point)
7. the base speed ΩB∞ (in rpm). (1 point)
8. the electromagnetic power Pem∞ in the flux weakening range. (0.5 point)
9. the power factor at the operating point corresponding to the base speed cos φB∞ . (1 point)
10. the characteristics giving Tem and Pem in terms of Ωm (in rpm) assuming an infinite extension of
the flux weakening range. For the sake of comparison, the characteristics Tem (Ωm ) and Pem (Ωm )
in the case of the current motor should be also plotted. (scale: 1cm=100rpm=50Nm=5kW).
