This inverter unit controls the electrical power flows to and from the batteries, the electric motors, the generators and the AC air compressor for Hybrid air condition
The Toyota inverter unit contains 2 inverter circuits and a converter / voltage controller.
The power inverter converts the DC voltage of 201.6 volts to an alternating voltage of 500 volts for the electric motor. The small inverter provides the Hybrid AC compressor power supply for Prius air conditioning. The DC / DC converter takes care of the 12 Volt for the battery.
How does the Power converter / inverter look inside? To give you an idea, here are two pictures of the Prius 1 converter / inverter
The Hybrid Battery
The THS II Prius Hybrid battery is of nickel metal hydride type (NiMH).
This is a extremely powerful hybrid battery has a weight of almost 100 lbs
Toyota hybrid battery currently has the highest power density among hybrid batteries
The Prius HV battery consists of:
28 Modules
6 Cells per Module
168 Cells Total
1.2 Volts per Cell
201.6 Volts Total
6.5 A / H (3h)
The HV battery is placed on the bottom plate above the rear axle of Prius. The charging level of the HV battery is held by the computer system between 40% and 80%, which means that Toyota follows a car alarm. There is therefore a full factory warranty of 8 years.
The lifetime of the HV battery in the Prius has been tested in various ways by means of lifetime simulations, but in practice.
The HV battery has been tested at taxi companies in Japan, Sweden and Canada.
Toyota Prius Charging level indicator
The charge level of the HV battery is maintained by the control software at a level between 40% and 80%. As an indication for the current level, an icon in the energy plate is placed on the central display. This icon indicates the level between 40% and 80% by means of bars. There is also a color indication.
Green is above the norm – The computer system will limit the charging of the HV battery, also limit regenerative power generation and even completely stop at the highest permitted charging level. As far as possible, energy will be extracted from the battery for the drive.
Blue is within the norm – All regenerative energy can be discharged towards the HV battery and the battery can and can provide maximum power for the drive.
Pink is below the standard – The withdrawal of power from the HV battery for the drive is limited and completely stopped at the lowest permissible level.Also, the combustion engine will no longer switch off, but ensure a charging current through the generator to the HV battery.
In an intermediate phase, both electrical power can flow to the HV battery and to the electric motor for the drive.This process is regulated using a number of parameters, such as generated electrical energy (MG1), energy required for the HV battery (charge level), NiMh temperature and required electrical energy for the drive (MG2).
Prius 12 volts battery
The Toyota Prius has a 12V – 35 Amp / hr lead / cadmium Battery, this battery provides the power supply of the control, control and control systems.This battery is in the luggage compartment and is not just auxiliary battery but essential for the proper functioning of the Prius.
The auxiliary battery is charged from the HV battery via the converter. Loading starts when the hybrid system is started via the Powerbutton. The combustion engine does not need to be in operation for this purpose.
The Prius Inverters / Converter
Power Inverter The power inverter of the Prius is an electrical converter that converts the DC power of the HV battery and the AC voltage of MG1 and MG2. The inverter consists of two 3-phase bridge circuits, one for MG1 and one for MG2, each circuit consists of 6 power pulses and converts the DC power of the HV battery into a three phase AC voltage and the alternating AC voltage of MG1 and MG2 in a Direct voltage. The activation of the power transistors is controlled by the HV-ECU. This sends a control signal to the power transistors. In the inverter there are a number of sensors / sensors that send information about the supplied power, voltage level, temperature to the HV-ECU. The inverter in the Prius II is also equipped with a voltage amplifier circuit which increases the input voltage (201.6 volts) of the HV battery to an output voltage of up to 500 volts for MG2. The inverter controls the voltage level based on the power requested by the HV-ECU between 201.6 volts and 500 volts, thus keeping the current to MG2 equal. The inverter produces quite a lot of heat during these control operations, so that it must be cooled by a separate and internal cooling circuit together with MG1 and MG2.
nverter-2
There is also a separate second and smaller inverter circuit, this circuit converts the 201.6 volt DC power from the HV battery to a 201.6 volt AC voltage for the air conditioning compressor.
The Hybrid Converter
The Pr
ius II converter is placed in the lower part of the compact housing. The converter is responsible for converting the 201.6 volts DC from the HV battery to 12 volts DC for the charging of the auxiliary battery
The 201.6 volts are initially converted by a power transistor bridge cc to 201.6 volts AC, then transformed to a lower voltage by a transformer, then converted into and DC voltage by a rectifier circuit.
The converter also controls the function of the voltage regulator, the voltage level of the auxiliary battery, is controlled and maintained by the converter. The charging of the auxiliary battery is thus not dependent on the incineration of the internal combustion engine. The charging of the auxiliary battery begins when the hybrid system is activated using the power button.
Toyota Hybrid Battery
A closed NiMh battery is mounted for the power supply of the drive via the MG2 electric motor. The HV battery is placed in the rear area on the bottom plate above the rear of the Prius. The battery is equipped with a separate cooling system with fan and is cooled from the interior with suction air. The closed NiMh battery of the Prius II is loaded by MG1 and the regenerative brake system (MG2).
Battery and Ecu charge levels and condition of the HV battery are monitored. Battery-Ecu receives various status signals from the HV battery, such as the battery temperature, outdoor temperature, voltage level of each module, and power to and from the HV battery.
The Battery-ECU checks the process of charging and charging the HV battery and the required cooling. The Battery-ECU communicates continuously with the HV-ECU. The Battery-ECU sends charging / discharge signals to the HV-ECU. The HV-ECU keeps the charging state at the desired level by calculating the load and discharge amp and, if necessary, adjusting the hybrid drive status. The HV-ECU control is configured to keep the charging level of the HV battery as much as possible between 40% and 80% to ensure a long battery life. If the battery pack temperature becomes too high, loading / unloading is limited or interrupted and an alarm is generated.
