Abstract

Pure electric construction machinery (PECM) is gradually becoming the mainstream choice for industrial construction. This paper presents a new configuration of an integrated charger for PECM. The proposed configuration employs a nine-switch-converter (NSC) that can achieve charging and traction functions for the target application. In charging mode, the motor is reused as a filter inductor and the NSC is reused as a conventional three-phase PWM rectifier. Data-driven adaptive predictive control (DAPC) based on recursive least squares (RLS) is proposed to cope with the motor’s saturation problem in charging mode. This control has the advantages of excellent robustness and fast dynamic response. Although the initial parameters are derived from the system model in the first sampling cycle, the controller subsequently relies entirely on online identification, which significantly reduces the sensitivity to parameter accuracy and eliminates the need for manual tuning of controller gains. In propulsion mode, the NSC enables independent operation of the two motors. The proposed configuration improves the utilization of devices and motors, which greatly reduces the weight, volume, and cost of the charger. Finally, an experimental platform was built to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed topology and control algorithm.
