Real-Time Energy Management of Battery/Supercapacitor Electric Vehicles Based on an Adaptation of Pontryagin's Minimum Principle

Abstract

The combination of batteries and supercapacitors is promising in electric vehicles context to minimize battery aging. Such a system needs an energy management strategy (EMS) that distributes energy in real-time for real driving cycles. Pontryagin's minimum principle (PMP) is widely used in adaptive forms to develop real-time optimization-based EMSs thanks to its analytical approach. This methodology leads to an off-line optimal solution which requires an extra adaptive mechanism for real-time applications. In this paper, a simplification of the PMP method is proposed to avoid the adaptation mechanism in real-time. This new EMS is compared to well-known conventional strategies by simulation. Furthermore, experimental results are provided to assess the real-time operation of the proposed EMS. Simulation and experimental results prove the advantages of the proposed approach by a reduction up to 50% of the batteries rms current on a real-world driving cycle compared to a battery-only EV.

Energy Management For Electric Vehicles in Smart Cities: A Deep Learning Approach

“…In addition, the MSE is equal for LSTM and GRU where its value is 0.00004. 1 Keras: https://keras.io/ 2 Tensorflow: https://www.tensorflow.org/ 3 Python: https://www.python.org/ 4 Python code and trained network will be published with article Similarly, Figure 6c shows the predicted route using DL-STM and DGRU, from this figure we show that the GRU stays farther to real traces in all the routes. On the other side, LSTM is very close to real traces in all the routes except the final hop of the route where the LSTM is far from the real traces.…”

“…The energy management for EVs is an important issue [1], where the optimal energy management allows to efficiently consume the energy which guarantees the use of the EVs for a long time. Tian et al [7] presented a real-time charging station system for electric vehicle taxis by combining real-time GPS trajectories and historical charging of each electric vehicle taxi.…”

“…The extensive use of electric vehicles faces different challenges such as energy management [1], [2] and route selection [3], [4]. EVs use limited resource batteries that require an effective energy management.…”

“…Moreover, once the inner-loop subsystem is well controlled, it is assumed to respond immediately to the reference. Thus, it is necessary to reduce the fast dynamics of the DC-DC converter by the following equivalent static model [42,43]…”

“…Besides other factors affecting the battery aging process, the RMS value of battery current is considered as one of critical criteria having impacts on the battery lifetime [11]. In this context, the combination between batteries with the high energy density and supercapacitors with the high power density is one of promising solutions, tackling the problem of high battery RMS currents [12,13]. Supercapacitors can be used in accelerations and decelerations (short-term power demand) while the battery is used for operations at constant speeds.…”
