Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and in particular to a system and method for controlling and setting power supply of electric equipment in new energy vehicles, and a medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the penetration rate of new energy in new cars and the number of vehicles in use has been rising steadily. As a result, the country's development of new energy vehicles has shifted from simply promoting the electrification process to high-quality development, and the core indicator of high-quality development is energy consumption, and latecomers will pay high compliance costs for this. At the same time, the price of battery raw materials has continued to rise in recent years, causing raw material companies, battery companies, and vehicle companies to "hand in hand" push the prices of new energy products to rise steadily. Therefore, reducing energy consumption to control the power consumption for the same driving range is an effective technical path to reduce vehicle costs and enhance product competitiveness. In summary, the energy consumption of electric vehicles will become a core performance indicator that affects corporate operations and product competitiveness at this stage and in the future.

[0003] For electric vehicles, energy consumption optimization is mainly concentrated in three aspects. The first is the energy consumption required at the wheel side, which is determined by the sliding resistance and weight of the vehicle. The second is the efficiency of the electric drive assembly, which is determined by the motor efficiency, electronic control efficiency and reduction gearbox efficiency. The third is various high-voltage electrical appliances (these electrical appliances do not include motors, the same below, high voltage refers to voltage >300V, the same below). The first two have always received much attention, and the third point has not been given enough attention. As electric vehicles become more and more intelligent, the impact of the third point on the energy consumption of electric vehicles will gradually increase. Therefore, how to control various high-voltage electrical appliances so that the power consumption of electrical appliances during vehicle operation is lower to achieve a better energy consumption level has become a key and difficult point in the development of electric vehicle energy consumption, which directly determines the controllable degree of risk of vehicle performance development of this type of vehicle.

[0004] The existing energy consumption optimization methods for electric vehicles do not include the start-stop control of the high-voltage system. The existing technology of vehicle energy consumption optimization mainly focuses on the wheel side demand and the efficiency of the electric drive assembly. The wheel side demand is determined by the vehicle's sliding resistance and weight, and the efficiency of the electric drive assembly is determined by the motor efficiency, electronic control efficiency and reduction box efficiency. The high-voltage power consumption is not given enough attention. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a power control setting system, method and medium for electrical equipment in new energy vehicles. The present invention can optimize the announced and actual energy consumption of the entire electric vehicle to a certain extent, and at the same time is conducive to narrowing the difference between the announced endurance and the actual endurance, so as to adapt to the current and future high-quality development needs of electric vehicles and improve product performance and quality.

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the power control setting system for electric equipment of new energy vehicles designed by the present invention is characterized in that it includes a power consumption list establishment module, a working condition setting module, an energy-saving mode setting module, a power control hardware upgrade design module and a power control program creation module;

[0007] The electricity consumption list establishment module is used to count the power system power equipment of the target new energy vehicle and establish a summary table of the power system power equipment information and current data of the new energy vehicle;

[0008] The operating condition setting module is used to set various operating conditions of the target new energy vehicle according to compliance certification and user scenario requirements, and form a summary table of the operating conditions of the whole new energy vehicle;

[0009] The energy-saving mode setting module is used to define the opening or power-off of the power system electrical equipment of the target new energy vehicle under various working conditions based on the national standards for new energy vehicles and / or the enterprise standards for new energy vehicles and / or the driving needs of users, and in combination with the summary table of the power system electrical equipment information and current data of the new energy vehicle and the summary table of the whole vehicle working conditions of the new energy vehicle;

[0010] The power control hardware upgrade design module is used to design the circuits for adding relays to the power system electrical equipment in the target new energy vehicle, so that the power system electrical equipment can be individually controlled to turn on or off by the corresponding relays;

[0011] The power control program creation module is used to create a corresponding power control program according to the definition of turning on or off the power system electrical equipment of the target new energy vehicle under various working conditions and the execution conditions of turning on or off the power system electrical equipment. The relays of the power system electrical equipment can be turned on or off by the power control program.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0013] The present invention utilizes relays and software control logic to realize the start and power-off control of high-voltage power-consuming components of new energy vehicles. The present invention manages and optimizes the energy consumption of the power supply system according to the whole vehicle working condition and user scenarios. For example, when parking, the high-voltage system of the electric vehicle can be powered off to reduce energy consumption by referring to traditional energy vehicles. Similarly, different optimization ideas can be applied to different user scenarios to achieve the best energy consumption effect of the whole vehicle, thereby improving the difference between actual cruising range and announced cruising range, and comprehensively improving the competitiveness of electric vehicle products and user satisfaction.
