Abstract
In an example embodiment, an electric turf vehicle includes a motor; an electric power source; and a controller configured to cause the vehicle to obtain an available discharge power of the electric power source, obtain a measured discharge power of the electric power source, determine a derated command based on the available discharge power and the measured discharge power, and controlling a voltage to the motor based on the derated command.
Claims20
An electric turf vehicle comprising:
- a motor;
- an electric power source;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the vehicle to,
- obtain an available discharge power of the electric power source,
- obtain a measured discharge power of the electric power source,
- determine a derated command based on the available discharge power and the measured discharge power, and
- control a voltage to the motor based on the derated command.
A method of power based load matching for an electric turf vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining an available discharge power of an electric power source of the electric turf vehicle;
- obtaining a measured discharge power of the electric power source;
- determining a derated command based on the available discharge power and the measured discharge power;
- and
- controlling a voltage to a motor of the electric turf vehicle based on the derated command.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, when executed by a controller of an electric turf vehicle, cause the electric turf vehicle to,
- obtain an available discharge power of an electric power source of the electric turf vehicle,
- obtain a measured discharge power of the electric power source,
- determine a derated command based on the available discharge power and the measured discharge power, and
- control a voltage to a motor of the electric turf vehicle based on the derated command.
