A vehicle includes a traction battery, an electric machine, and a variable voltage converter. The variable voltage converter includes an inductor and is disposed electrically between the traction battery and electric machine. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to issue duty cycle commands for the variable voltage converter based on a product of an AC component of current flowing through the inductor and a calibrated resistance.

Systems and methods for determining a duty cycle for a variable voltage converter

A method of compensating for magnetic flux resulting from variance from a first electric machine to a second electric machine. A magnetic flux change for the first machine is calculated as a function of a flux difference between the first machine and the second machine. Operation of the first machine is controlled using the magnetic flux change.
