To reduce torque oscillations in electric motors, harmonic current injection (HCI) has been used in industry for some time. For this purpose, higher harmonic currents calculated in advance are injected into the machine. Since the general conditions for the machine can change during its life cycle, this article presents a method that makes it possible to change the parameters of HCI during operation. For this purpose, sensor signals are used to detect the reaction of the electric motor to small variations of the HCI parameters. The knowledge gained in this way is used to make further suitable variations. FEM simulations were used to verify the effectiveness of the approach. The results show that the algorithm can independently optimize the HCI parameters during runtime and reduces the amplitude of the 6th harmonic in the torque by 87% for a permanent magnet synchronous machine.

In this paper we introduce a novel method for calculating 3D flow through the underhood compartement of a vehicle. The method is based on the system of Euler equations, which are numerically solved by a finite volume approach. The total number of finite volumes is very low (<1000 cells). The applied numerics are calibrated to recapture a preceding detailed computational fluid dynamics {CFD) simulation. This calibration is established by two sets of factors. The main advantage of the present approach is that the calibration factors can be inter- and extrapolated between different CFD simulations.
