Active Switching Frequency Modulation

View page
US Patent:
20130076128, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/246958
Inventors:
Brett Michael Nee - Germantown Hills IL, US
Assignee:
CATERPILLAR, INC. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B60L 11/18
B60K 6/20
US Classification:
307 101, 180 6521
Abstract:
A method of controlling a variable frequency power converter disposed on a vehicle, and a machine with such a variable frequency power converter is disclosed. The method may comprise providing a power controller, the variable frequency power converter and an electrical energy storage repository disposed on the vehicle. The method may further comprise receiving, by the power controller, a desired reference value, and adjusting a switching frequency of the variable frequency power converter from a first switching frequency to a second switching frequency based on the desired reference value.

Controlling Retarding Torque In An Electric Drive System

View page
US Patent:
20130162182, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Dec 21, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/723288
Inventors:
Brett M. Nee - Metamora IL, US
Joshua M. Williams - Peoria IL, US
Benjamin P. Gottemoller - Princeville IL, US
Srikar Thaduvayi - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
H02P 15/00
US Classification:
318380
Abstract:
The disclosure describes, in one aspect, a system for a machine having an electric drive configuration. The system includes an electric motor associated with at least one wheel and adapted to provide retarding torque to the wheel, and a controller configured to determine a power measurement of a retarding grid and control the retarding torque to the at least one wheel during retarding as a function of the power measurement.

Pulse Circuit

View page
US Patent:
20080197714, Aug 21, 2008
Filed:
Feb 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/030929
Inventors:
Joseph T. Verdeyen - Savoy IL, US
Brett M. Nee - Metamora IL, US
David L. Carroll - Urbana IL, US
Assignee:
CU AEROSPACE, LLC - Champaign IL
International Classification:
H03K 3/00
US Classification:
307107
Abstract:
In an embodiment of the invention there is provided a pulse circuit including two transmission lines or other capacitive energy storage circuits resonantly charged by inductors and diodes that are connected to a DC power source. The pulse circuit includes a pulse transformer that may be connected in series with the transmission lines or artificial lines with a turns ratio chosen to match the load impedance to primary circuit impedance or to generate the optimum pulsed voltage source. Multiple switches can be employed to increase the repetition frequency of the pulses. For transmission lines and L-C artificial lines, the pulse alternates in polarity; for simple capacitive energy storage, the pulses are unipolar.

Liquified Gaseous Fuel Storage Tank Level Calibration Control System

View page
US Patent:
20200248638, Aug 6, 2020
Filed:
Feb 6, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/269358
Inventors:
- Deerfield IL, US
Asha L. PAI - Peoria IL, US
Roderick S. ZEHRUNG - Marana AZ, US
Derek P. SAMSEL - Tucson AZ, US
Brett M. NEE - Germantown Hills IL, US
Joshua PERKO - Washington IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
F02D 19/06
F02D 19/10
F02D 41/00
F02D 41/38
F02D 41/22
G01L 13/00
G01F 25/00
G01F 23/18
Abstract:
A gaseous fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine may include a storage tank for storing liquefied gaseous fuel and supplying the fuel to the engine. The system may also include a liquid level sensor for measuring a level value of the liquefied gaseous fuel in the storage tank and a pressure sensor for measuring a pressure value of gaseous fuel in the fuel supply system. The system may further include a controller. The controller may be configured to: monitor a pressure signal of the pressure sensor indicating the pressure value and a tank level signal of the liquid level sensor indicating the level value; store the level value when the pressure value indicates the storage tank is empty; store the level value when the pressure value or the level value indicates the storage tank is full; and determine a calibrated level range based on the stored level values.

System And Method For Monitoring Operation Of Retarding Grid Associated With Traction Motor Of Machine

View page
US Patent:
20170015201, Jan 19, 2017
Filed:
Jul 15, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/799659
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Baoyong Liu - Dunlap IL, US
Joshua M Williams - Peoria IL, US
Brett M Nee - Germantown Hills IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B60L 3/12
G01L 5/00
B60L 15/20
G01N 9/00
Abstract:
A system for monitoring operation of a retarding grid associated with a traction motor of a machine includes a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor for measuring atmospheric pressure and temperature in real time. The system further includes a controller that determines a current air density on the basis of the measured atmospheric pressure and temperature. The controller then determines a threshold retarding power limit for the retarding grid on the basis of the current air density; and a threshold torque limit for the traction motor on the basis of the determined threshold retarding power limit and a current wheel speed of the machine. The controller determines a current retarding torque at the traction motor, and selectively generates a warning signal to an operator of the machine on the basis of the threshold torque limit determined for the traction motor and the current retarding torque at the traction motor.

Power Management System Having Automatic Calibration

View page
US Patent:
20160006383, Jan 7, 2016
Filed:
Jul 3, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/323691
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Brett Michael Nee - Germantown Hills IL, US
Matthew J. Urbanc - Edelstein IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
H02P 9/04
Abstract:
A power management system having automatic calibration is disclosed. The power management system may have an alternator and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit may be configured to determine a reference voltage based on at least one measured operating condition of the alternator. The reference voltage may correspond to an overloading threshold of the alternator. The electronic control unit may be further configured to monitor a voltage of the alternator and, when the monitored voltage is less than the reference voltage, perform a corrective action to increase a power output of the alternator.
