    Vehicle with AC outletTechnical FieldThe present invention relates to electric or plug-in hybrid motor vehicles havinga battery that may be charged by means of an external charging station. Thepresent invention primarily concerns land motor vehicles, but may also be usedfor other hybrid or electrically driven vehicles, such as boats, ships or yachts.The present invention especially concerns providing AC power to accessoriesor equipment of the motor vehicle.
    Background and Prior ArtElectric and plug-in hybrid motor vehicles usually comprise a chargingconnector for receiving power from an external charging station. Chargingstations may include means for supplying electric DC power as well as electricAC power. For receiving AC power, a plug-in hybrid vehicle may be providedwith a charger in the form of an AC/DC converter that converts the AC powerinto DC power, which is supplied to, and charges, the battery of the hybridvehicle.
    Land motor vehicles, such as cars, buses or trucks, usually include a lowvoltage DC electric system, e.g. a 12 V or 24 V system, to power equipmentand accessories, such as for example lights, a stereo, a cooler, a heater. Thelow voltage DC electric system has limited energy storage means. Electric andhybrid motor vehicles usually include a second electric system at a higher DCvoltage, which is used for storing energy to power an electric machine orelectric motor of the vehicle. The second electric system is used for propellingthe vehicle and usually has a higher energy storing capacity then the lowvoltage system.l/lany electrical apparatuses run on AC power, such as 110 V or 220 V of ACpower. ln order to use such apparatuses in a vehicle it is beneficial if the vehicleis provided with AC power outlets. Such AC power outlets could be poweredwith energy of the high voltage DC system provided an AC/DC converter isused to convert the DC power into AC power.
    US 2007/0012492 (D1) describes a hybrid vehicle that selectively may outputAC power to a load. The hybrid vehicle includes a battery or power storage (30in D1) that can power an electric machine (17 in D1), by means of an AC/DCconverter (32 in D1) that converts DC power from the battery into AC power forthe electric machine (17), see figure 2 in D1. The hybrid vehicle of D1 alsocomprises a switch/power conditioning module (50 in figure 2) that may power aload (52 in figure 2). The switch/power conditioning module (50) includes atransformer, see §OO44 of D1. D1 does however not describe a plug-in hybridvehicle.l/loreover, the AC/DC converter used in D1 for powering the loads is the AC/DCconverter used for powering the electric motor, and is as such probablyspecifically adapted for powering the electric motor and may not be ideal forpowering other types of AC apparatuses.

    Brief Description of DrawingsFigure 1 illustrates parts of a motor vehicle in accordance with the presentinvention, especially the electric system of the vehicle;Figures 2A-E illustrates different ways of controlling the electric system of thevehicle in order to power an AC outlet of the vehicle;Figure 3 illustrate a control method for the electric system.
    Description of EmbodimentsFigure 1 shows parts of a motor vehicle, especially the electric system 1 of themotor vehicle. The motor vehicle comprises an electric machine 13 forpropelling the motor vehicle and may also comprise an internal combustionengine (not illustrated). The electric system 1 of the motor vehicle is providedwith a battery 2 and a charging connector 7 for charging the battery 2. Thebattery 2 has a voltage level of for example 400 V or 650 V. The chargingconnector 7 is a combined AC and DC connector configured for receiving ACpower as well as DC power from an external charging station 20.ln an alternative embodiment (not illustrated), i.e. instead of the combined ACand DC charging connector 7, the electric system 1 comprises two separatecharging connectors; one for AC power and one for DC power. As an alternativeor in addition to the separate DC connector, and in addition to the separate ACconnector, or to the combined connector 7, the electric system 1 may beprovided with other means (7A, 7B) for charging the battery 2. Figure 1 illustrateto such charging means in dashed lines;- a current collector 7A configured to receive DC power from an overhead line20A and supply DC power to the battery 2, and- an induction receiver 7B configured for receiving power by means of inductionfrom an inductive power source 20B, such as an inductive power source 20Bprovided in a road surface.
    The current collector 7A that is configured to receive current from an overheadline system may for example comprise a one- or two-arm pantograph collector,a bow collector or a trolley pole.
    The induction receiver 7B is configured to receive inductive power andtransform the power into DC power that is supplied in the DC side of the electricsystem 1 to charge the battery 2.
    The electric system 1 of figure 1 may preferably be adapted for receiving ACpower at different voltage levels, three-phase AC as well as single-phase AC bymeans of the charging connector 7, for example single-phase 230 V AC andthree-phase 400 V AC. The charging connector 7 is configured to receive DCpower of at least one voltage level, such as two different levels, for example at400 V DC and 650 V DC. A DC/DC converter 11 is arranged electricallybetween the charging connector 7 and the battery 2 and configured forconverting DC power received at the charging connector 7 to the voltage levelof the battery 2. The DC/DC converter 11 is arranged to selectively beconnected between the charging connector 7 and the battery, and selectivelybypassed when the DC power is received at the same voltage level as thevoltage level of the battery 2.
    The electric system 1 is provided with an AC/DC converter, or first AC/DCconverter, 4 arranged electrically between the charging connector 7 and thebattery 2, and which first AC/DC converter 4 is configured for converting ACpower received at the charging connector 7 to DC power at the voltage level ofthe battery 2. The electric system 1 also includes a DC junction box 8 arrangedto selectively connect the first AC/DC converter 4 to the battery 2.
    The electric system 1 is further configured to supply power from the battery 2 tothe electric machine 13. The battery 2 is connected to the electric machine 13via the DC junction box 8 and a second AC/DC converter 12. The electricmachine 13 may also act as a generator and retrieve AC electric power duringdriving and/or braking and feed this re-generated electric power to the battery 2via the second AC/DC converter that converts the AC power to DC power, andvia the DC junction box 8. Thus, the second AC/DC converter 12 is bi-directional.
    The electric system 1 also includes an AC junction box 9 arranged electricallybetween the charging connector 7 and the first AC/DC converter 4. The electricsystem 1 further comprises a first AC outlet 5 and a second AC outlet 6connectable to the first AC/DC converter 4 and/or the charging connector 7 bymeans of the AC junction box 9. Also the first AC/DC converter 4 is a bi-directional AC/DC converter 4 configured to receive AC as well as DC andsupply DC and AC, respectively.
    Both junction boxes 8, 9 are configured with relays and breakers to enable aselective power transfer between the devices. The electric system 1 furtherincludes a controller 10 that is operatively connected to the AC junction box 9,the DC junction box 8, the DC/DC converter 11, the first AC/DC converter 4 andthe second AC/DC converter 12.
    The DC junction box 8 is configured for selective power transfer between thebattery 2, the DC side of the first AC/DC converter 4, the DC side of the secondAC/DC converter 12, and the charging connector 7. The DC junction box 8 iseither connected to the charging connector 7 directly, or via the DC/DCconverter 11 (i.e. via the DC/DC converter 11 when the received DC power hasa different voltage level than the battery 2).
    The AC junction box 9 is configured for selective interconnection of the chargingconnector 7, the AC side of the first AC/DC converter and the AC outlets 5, 6.Thus, the first AC outlet 5 and the second AC outlet 6 may selectively receivepower from either the AC side of the first AC/DC converter 4 or from thecharging connector 7.
    For ease of illustration, the controller 10 is illustrated as a central controlsystem, but may be arranged as a plurality of electronic control units in adistributed fashion among the different devices.
    Figures 2A-2E illustrates different uses of the electric system 1 for providing ACpower to the outlets 5, 6. These uses can be seen as different modes ofoperation; a first mode of operation illustrated in figure 2A, a second, third,fourth and fifth mode of operation illustrated in figures 2B, 2C, 2D and 2E,respectively.lt should be note that the first AC/DC converter 4 is bi-directional and acts as:- a battery charger in the first mode by converting AC power from the externalcharging station into DC power, which is fed to the battery 2; and as11- an AC power supplier for the outlets 5, 6 in the second to fifth mode, byconverting DC power into AC power, which is fed to the one or more of theoutlets 5, 6.ln the second to fifth mode, the controller 10 controls the AC junction box 9 sothat the AC connection of the charging connector 7 is disconnected, and no ACpower is supplied to the charging connector 7 from the first AC/DC converter 4.ln the first mode of figures 2A, the motor vehicle is charged by receiving ACpower from an external charging station 20, which AC power is received by thecharging connector 7 and supplied in the AC side of the electric system to theoutlets 5, 6 and the AC side of the first AC/DC converter 4 via the AC junctionbox 9. Thus, the AC power is fed without conversion to the outlets 5, 6, i.e.without AC conversion and without conversion into intermediate DC power.Further, in the first mode, the first AC/DC converter 4 acting as a charger of thebattery 2, converts AC power into DC power and supplies the DC power to thebattery 2, via the DC junction box 8. The second AC/DC converter 12, andthereby the electric machine 13, is disconnected from the DC power by meansof the DC junction box 8, as controlled by the controller 10.ln the second mode, illustrated in figure 2B, the motor vehicle is charged byreceiving DC power from an external charging station 20, which DC power issupplied to the battery 2. The DC power is supplied either directly to the battery2, or in case the voltage level differs from the voltage level of the battery, via theDC/DC converter 11 that converts the DC power into the voltage level of thebattery 2. The controller 10 is configured to connect the DC power (i.e. the DCpower of the voltage level of the battery) to the DC side of the first AC/DCconverter 4. The first AC/DC converter converts the DC power into AC powerwhich is fed, via the junction box 9, to one or more of the outlets 5, 6.
    The motor vehicle may be provided with a PTO, or power take-off, (notillustrated) which may be propelled by the electric machine 13, or the internal12combustion engine. Thus, in addition to charging the battery 2 in the first andsecond mode, the electric machine 13 may be supplied with electric power andpower the PTO, as indicated by broken arrows in figures 2A and 2B. Theelectric machine should never drive the wheels of the vehicle during chargingfrom an external charging station 20, and the gearbox may preferably be lockedin the neutral or in a parking brake position. The PTO may include a PTO shaftconnected via a separate additional gearbox (not illustrated).ln the first and the second mode, the motor vehicle is charged by means of anexternal charging station 20, whereas in the third, fourth and fifth mode, themotor vehicle is not charged by an external charging station 20, i.e. does notreceive power from any external charging station, and the charging connector isnot connected to any external power source. l/loreover, in the third, fourth andfifth mode the controller 10 is configured to disconnect the charging connector7, or keep the charging connector 7 disconnected, from the other parts of theelectric system.ln the third mode and fourth modes, illustrated in figures 2C and 2D, one ormore of the outlets 5, 6 is supplied with power originating from the battery 2,which power is converted into AC power by means of the first AC/DC converter4.ln the third mode, the electric machine is not used, whereas in the fourth mode,the electric machine 13 is used as a motor to propel the motor vehicle. Forinstance, the third mode of operation can be used when the motor vehicle isparked or propelled by an internal combustion engine (if the motor vehicle hassuch an engine).ln the fifth mode, the electric machine 13 is used as a generator for retrievingpower when the motor vehicle is travelling, e.g. being driven or during braking,and thus the fifth mode provides a re-generative mode wherein power issupplied from the electric machine 13, via the second AC/DC converter 12 to13charge the battery 2. The AC/DC converter 4 is operated in the same way as inthe second to fourth modes and converts DC power into AC power which issupplied to at least one of the outlets 5, 6.
    Since, the first AC/DC converter 4 acts as an AC power supplier in the secondto fifth mode, and converts the DC power received at its DC side into AC powerfor the outlets 5, 6, the first AC/DC converter 4 does not need to change itsoperation when the motor vehicle switches between any of the second to fifthmode. However, when the motor vehicle switches between operation in the firstmode and any other mode the controller 10 is configured to temporarilyinactivate the first AC/DC converter 4 during the mode switch. For example,when the first AC/DC converter acts in any mode as a AC power supplier, andthe charging connector 7 is being connected by the driver to an externalcharging station 20 that supplies AC power, the controller 10 is configured totemporarily inactivate the AC/DC converter 4 so that no power is fed from theAC/DC converter before establishing a power connection from the chargingconnector 7 to any of the outlets 5, 6 and the AC side of the first AC/DCconverter 4.
    Figure 3 illustrate a control method for the electric system 1. The control method200 comprises a first mode of operation 201 that includes- receiving AC power (201a) from the charging connector (7) during chargingfrom an external charging station (20) that supplies AC power, and- supplying AC (201 b) power to the at least one AC power outlet (5, 6) at thesame time as supplying DC power to the battery (2).
    The control method 200 comprises further modes of operation 202-206 thatincludes supplying 210 AC power from the first AC/DC converter (4) to the atleast one AC power outlet (5, 6). The further modes of operation include asecond 202, third 203, fourth 204, fifth 205 and sixth 206 mode of operation.
    The second mode of operation 202 comprises- receiving 202a DC power and charging the battery 2, and14- converting 202b DC power into AC power.ln the second mode, the AC power is supplied to the at least one AC poweroutlet 5, 6 at the same as DC power is supplied to the battery 2.
    The third mode of operation 203 comprises:- converting 203a DC power from the battery 2 to AC power, and- supplying 203b the AC power to the at least one AC power outlet 5, 6.
    Thus, in the third mode of operation 203, the power outlets 5, 6 are powered bythe battery 2.
    The fourth mode of operation 204 comprises:- converting 204a DC power from the battery 2 into AC power for the electricmachine and into AC power for at least one outlet,- supplying 204b AC power to the at least one AC power outlet 5, 6 and at thesame time supplying AC power the electric machine 13.
    Thus, in the fourth mode of operation 204, the power outlets 5, 6 and theelectric machine 13 are powered by the battery 2.
    The fifth mode of operation 205 comprises:- retrieving 205a power during travelling by using the electric machine 13 as agenerator;-converting 205b the retrieved power into DC power and supplying DC power tothe battery 2, and- converting 205c DC power into AC power and supplying AC power to the atleast one AC power outlet 5, 6.
    Thus, in the fifth mode of operation, the electric machine 13 is used for re-generative charging of the battery with retrieved power. Retrieved power is alsoused for powering the AC power outlet or outlets 5, 6, wherein the retrievedpower is first converted from AC power, of the electric machine 13, to DC powerand thereafter converted from DC power to AC power for the outlets.
    The sixth mode of operation 206 comprises receiving 206a power by means ofthe induction power receiver (7B), charging 206b the battery (2) andsimultaneously converting DC power into AC power by means of the firstAC/DC converter (4).
