Analysis of shifting control for dry dual clutch system

Aiming at the dry Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system, the motor driven dry dual clutch actuator is studied; the characteristic of distortion load for diaphragm spring and the dynamic transient process of the clutch are analyzed. The mathematical model is established for the system using fuzzy control and PI (Proportion Integration) control, and the simulation is carried out for the DCT shifting process. Simulation results indicate that the motor driven dry dual clutch system can meet the need of the shifting process control requirements and guarantee the high performance of DCT system.     

A novel control method for two-phase short current of lines

The tremendous power flow may be transfered when two-phase short line is shut down, which may result in unstable state of the system and large loss of electric power. A novel line fault current controller (LFCC) and control method for the fault current of the two-phase short are presented. LFCC, emdedded at the line terminal, is composed of a series-connection transformer, a shunt-connection transformer,2 controllable inductors and on-line taps and is equivalent to the series of the insertion voltage and the insertion inductor when it works. The insertion voltage at the sending terminal(receiving terminal) is controlled to lead (lag)the fault source voltage by 2π/3 by adjusting on-line taps states. Because the insertion voltage amplitude and the insertion inductance can be controlled independently, the fault current gets zero and the current through the fault line reaches the normal current by the appropriate control of the insertion voltage amplitudes and the insertion inductances. Therefore, the fault line keeps the operation and the current through the line during the two-phase short existing equals that in normal operation, which improves the supply reliability. In addition, the corresponding control strategy for two phase short current is proposed. The experiment results show that the proposed LFCC is able to control the fault current through the line to reach corresponding normal current. The proposed control method suited for the proposed LFCC for the two phase short current is verified with the simulation results.     

Research and development of a testing control system for a heavy duty vehicle automatic mechanical transmission test bench

Automatic mechanical transmissions (AMT) are suitable for use in heavy duty vehicles. Bench testing is an important task of the research and development. Many objectives, such as AMT performance testing, matching AMTs with engines, and optimizing control rules, can be achieved through bench testing, thereby laying a foundation for AMT application. An AMT testing bench is built up based on a developed AMT. By analyzing the performance requirements of AMT bench testing for heavy duty vehicles, a testing controlling system scheme is proposed and methods of data acquisition and communication are analyzed. Control methods for actuators are proposed based on analyzing the characteristics of AMT actuators. A testing control program for AMT bench testing is developed based on the Delphi platform. The entire bench testing system possesses advances test functions.
