Challenges <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Series Production <strong>of</strong> Electric Drive Systems<br />
Introduction<br />
The e-mobility will play a major role in <strong>the</strong> near future<br />
Especially <strong>electrical</strong> axle drives for hybrid- and <strong>electrical</strong> vehicles are in<br />
focus nowadays<br />
Because an <strong>electrical</strong> axle drive can be considered as a high dynamic<br />
torque-source/sink, special attention is required during <strong>the</strong> operation mode<br />
as well as in <strong>the</strong> failure mode<br />
The mass production costs for an <strong>electrical</strong> axle drive and <strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> related material will be very important<br />

In principle all mentioned <strong>electrical</strong> <strong>machine</strong>s can be used. But especially for axle<br />
drives a high speed asynchronous <strong>machine</strong> in connection with a transmission<br />
with a high gear ratio is well suited for <strong>the</strong> following reasons:<br />
Very high robustness<br />
No safety issues in case <strong>of</strong> failure<br />
Needs aluminum inside <strong>the</strong> rotor instead <strong>of</strong> rear earth magnets, <strong>the</strong>refore no problem<br />
with availability <strong>of</strong> magnet materials<br />
Low cost solution compared to o<strong>the</strong>r solutions. Therefore well suited for mass<br />
production<br />
High overload capability<br />
Well suited for high speed applications<br />
No problems with acoustic noise<br />
Very low torque ripple compared to o<strong>the</strong>r solutions<br />

Challenges <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>electrical</strong> drive system<br />
Electrical axle drives can be applied in hybrid vehicles as well as in pure <strong>electrical</strong><br />
vehicles. In a hybrid vehicle normally only one axis is electrified. In a pure <strong>electrical</strong><br />
vehicle all axis, even all wheels can be separately driven by an electric drive.<br />

Electrical vehicle with all wheel drives<br />
With this configuration it is possible to influence <strong>the</strong> longitudinal dynamic as well as <strong>the</strong><br />
transversal dynamic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vehicle. With this concept it is possible to have a specific<br />
acceleration – or brake torque on each wheel, so called “torque vectoring”. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore<br />
it is possible to compensate over steer or under steer with a brake intervention but also<br />
with a power boost in a range <strong>of</strong> some mille seconds.<br />

Acoustic noise<br />
The main reason <strong>of</strong> acoustic noise <strong>of</strong> an <strong>electrical</strong> axle drive is normally <strong>the</strong> torque<br />
ripple <strong>of</strong> an <strong>electrical</strong> <strong>machine</strong>. The torque ripple depends on <strong>the</strong> kind <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>electrical</strong><br />
<strong>machine</strong> but also on <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>machine</strong>.<br />
The torque ripple will be transferred via different ways:<br />
From <strong>the</strong> rotor shaft to <strong>the</strong> gearbox<br />
From <strong>the</strong> stator housing via axle bearings to <strong>the</strong> chassis<br />
In both cases <strong>the</strong> torque ripple can generate acoustic noise.<br />
Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore <strong>the</strong> stator housing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>electrical</strong> <strong>machine</strong> can also generate structure<br />
borne noise caused by radial magnetic forces.<br />

Dynamic drive <strong>control</strong><br />
The main task <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dynamic drive <strong>control</strong> is <strong>the</strong> active damping <strong>of</strong> oscillations within<br />
<strong>the</strong> drive train. The following boundary conditions have to be taken into account:<br />
On <strong>the</strong> one hand, an oscillation excitation by <strong>the</strong> driving<br />
torque <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electric drive shall be compensated. This is<br />
<strong>the</strong> case if a fast torque demand is required e.g. "Tip in".<br />
On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand also outer disturbances, e.g. caused by<br />
<strong>the</strong> wheels have to be considered.<br />
The reduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> oscillations, shall not lead to a noticeable<br />
reduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> torque dynamics which <strong>the</strong> driver perceives asbeing negative.<br />
In case <strong>of</strong> failure <strong>the</strong> vehicle dynamic should not be influenced noticeable.<br />
