Design of Optimized Energy Management Strategy for All-Wheel-Drive Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The performance of the all-wheel-drive electric vehicle is inseparable from the energy management strategy (EMS). An outstanding EMS could extend the cycling mileage, coordinating the power output of the battery and exerts the advantage of the motor comprehensively. However, the current EMS has poor performance in real-time, and this paper proposes the dynamic programming coordination strategy (DPCS) to solve the problem. Firstly, the EMS based on a rule-based control strategy (RBCS) is applied in a different driving cycle. Secondly, the dynamic programming algorithm (DP) is proposed in the process. The DPCS cooperated the advantage of RBCS and DP, extracting the boundary parameters along with the demand power and vehicle speed. Finally, the number of motors joined in the driving condition is elucidated and the method obtains the optimal torque split ratio through a partly-known driving cycle. By incorporating the thought of a basis of rules, the DPCS determines the torque of each motor that confirm the motor working in an efficient range that incorporates the mind of dynamic programming. The method is validated through the simulation. The results show that the strategy can significantly improve the mileage of the driving cycle, with comprehensive performance in energy distribution and utilization.

Maximizing Efficiency in Smart Adjustable DC Link Powertrains with IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs via Optimized DC-Link Voltage Control

“…DP algorithm is a powerful optimization tool that has been extensively used in recent years to develop optimal control strategies for energy management systems in electrified vehicle applications [38][39][40]. It is suitable for decision-making scenarios where choices are made at each stage to minimize or maximize a specific cost function and obtain a globally optimal solution.…”

Integrating Fuzzy Logic and Brute Force Algorithm in Optimizing Energy Management Systems for Battery Electric Vehicles

“…The situation becomes more intricate with the rise in power requirements and the inclusion of multiple electrical loads due to the electrification of transportation. For BEVs that rely solely on batteries as their energy storage and need to cater to numerous loads, the challenge lies in alleviating range anxiety by devising stringent control rules and a management strategy that can effectively extend the driving range (Dou et al, 2021;Hu et al, 2020;Mohd, 2020).…”

Energy Management of Hybrid Electric Urban Bus by Off-Line Dynamic Programming Optimization and One-Step Look-Ahead Rollout

“…One of the advantages of vehicle hybridization is that the combination of internal combustion engines (ICE) and electric motors (EM) provides an additional degree of freedom to the powertrain that allows meeting the driver power demands more efficiently. In addition, the use of batteries and EMs allows energy recovery during braking [2]. Among mobility alternatives, urban buses present a high potential of electrification (including hybridization) due to their high mileage covered, known routes and strict requirements for air pollution control in cities.…”
