Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of range extender control, and more particularly to a method, device, server, and medium for controlling power generation of a range-extended electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When a range-extended electric vehicle is near a preset battery balance point, the range extender generates electricity to charge the battery, thereby improving the vehicle's range. The current range extender control strategy sets the corresponding SOC balance point based on different driving modes (such as energy saving and sports), and determines the range extender's power generation by determining vehicle speed, the remaining power of the battery (State of Charge, SOC), and the vehicle's required power.

[0003] When the vehicle's SOC is near its equilibrium point and the vehicle is traveling at low speeds, the power demand is low. To maintain the equilibrium SOC, the range extender generates power at low power for extended periods, resulting in poor fuel economy. Improving the range extender's power generation efficiency requires increasing its power output. However, due to the low speed, passengers are highly sensitive to engine noise. Increasing the range extender's power output reduces the vehicle's noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance, impairing the user's driving experience. To address this issue, we propose a power generation control method for range-extended electric vehicles that effectively addresses these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the relevant invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only portions relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flowchart and logic diagram of the first embodiment of a power generation control method for an extended-range electric vehicle provided by the present application include the following steps:

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, SOC is the first remaining capacity, SOC' is the second remaining capacity; SOC2 is the first preset threshold, SOC4 is the second preset threshold; SOC1 is the third preset threshold; V1 is the first preset speed; V2 is the second preset speed; V is the first real-time vehicle speed; V' is the second real-time vehicle speed; optionally, the first preset threshold SOC2 is 20%; the second preset threshold SOC4 is 15%; the third preset threshold SOC1 is 25%; the first preset speed V1 and the second preset speed V2 are between 50km / h and 60km / h;

[0047] Among them, the selection of the first preset threshold SOC2, the second preset threshold SOC4, the third preset threshold SOC1, the first preset speed V1 and the second preset speed V2 can all be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the first preset threshold SOC2 can be adjusted according to the mileage requirement of the vehicle in pure electric mode to ensure that the vehicle does not encounter the problem of too low remaining power while the range extender is still in the power generation state during driving; the second preset threshold SOC4 can be selected according to the power loss difference at low vehicle speed; the third preset threshold SOC1 is the boundary power for exiting the range extender and stopping operation, which is mainly set as the range extender shutdown point to avoid frequent starting and stopping of the range extender; and the first speed V1 and the second speed V2 are related to the speed that the specific vehicle can maintain when the battery is low. For example, the first speed V1 is the maximum speed that the vehicle battery can support between the first preset threshold SOC2 and the second preset threshold SOC4, so in the actual selection process, it can be adjusted according to the set remaining power threshold.

[0048] S100: Collecting a first remaining charge SOC, and collecting a first real-time vehicle speed V when it is determined that the first remaining charge SOC is less than a first preset threshold SOC2 or when it is determined that the first remaining charge SOC is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold SOC4.

[0049] Specifically, a first remaining power SOC is collected. When it is determined that the first remaining power SOC is less than a first preset threshold value SOC2, the range extender pre-start phase may be entered. When it is further determined that the first remaining power SOC is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value SOC4, the range extender first-level power generation strategy pre-start phase may be entered, and then the first real-time vehicle speed V is collected.

[0050] S200: When it is determined that the first real-time vehicle speed V is greater than the first preset speed V1, calling the range extender power generation strategy database;

[0051] The above power generation strategy database is shown in Table 1, including: multiple sets of speed ranges and remaining power ranges, and power generation modes corresponding to the two ranges;

[0052] Among them, the type of power generation mode, such as Figure 1 As shown, for example, the first-level power generation strategy and the second-level power generation strategy, at this time, in response to the range extender's first-level power generation strategy;

[0053] Table 1 Power generation strategy database structure

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] S300: Determining a power generation mode corresponding to a first real-time vehicle speed;

[0057] It should be noted that the power generation strategy database structure can also introduce other conditions as the basis for calling, such as required power, and correspondingly other power generation modes, which can meet the power generation needs of the range extender under other operating conditions of the extended-range vehicle.

[0058] S400: driving the range extender in the power generation mode corresponding to the first real-time vehicle speed V. During the operation of the range extender, collecting the second real-time vehicle speed V′ and the current second remaining charge SOC′ in real time. When it is determined that the second real-time vehicle speed V′ is greater than or equal to the second preset speed V2 or the second remaining charge is less than or equal to the third preset threshold SOC1, repeating this step indicates that the current operating condition of the vehicle does not meet the conditions for exiting the range extender power generation, and the range extender continues to operate in this power generation mode.

[0059] Specifically, when it is determined that the second real-time vehicle speed V′ is less than the second preset speed V2 or the second remaining power SOC′ is greater than the third preset threshold SOC1, at this time, the vehicle's operating condition meets the conditions for exiting the range extender power generation, and the range extender stops operating;

[0060] To sum up, the present application stipulates that the range extender can only be started when the current remaining power of the electric vehicle is less than the first preset threshold value SOC2; at the same time, its remaining power is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value SOC4, and the current vehicle speed is greater than the first preset speed V1, which meets the start-up conditions of the range extender's first-level power generation strategy, and the conditions for exiting the first-level power generation strategy are: the current remaining power of the vehicle is greater than the third preset threshold value SOC1 or the current vehicle speed is less than the second preset speed V2; in addition, in order to avoid the range extender generating power at low speed, the choice of starting vehicle speed can also be obtained through testing and calibration under standard working conditions (subject to actual conditions) to meet the needs of most users.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, V3 is the third preset speed, V4 is the fourth preset speed; SOC3 is the fourth preset threshold; SOC″ is the third remaining power; V″ is the third real-time vehicle speed; V′″ is the fourth real-time vehicle speed; optionally, the third preset speed V3 and the fourth preset speed V4 are between 20km / h-30km / h; the fourth preset threshold SOC3 is close to the first preset threshold SOC2, and can be selected as about 18%; the selection of the fourth preset threshold SOC3, the third preset speed V3 and the fourth preset speed V4 can also be adjusted according to actual conditions; the selection principle of the fourth preset threshold SOC3 is similar to that of the third preset threshold SOC1; the selection of the third preset speed V3 and the fourth preset speed V4 also needs to be related to the remaining power threshold set for the actual vehicle.

[0062] Specifically, in step S100: collecting the first remaining power SOC, and determining that the first remaining power SOC is less than the first preset threshold SOC2, the following steps are also included:

[0063] If the first remaining power SOC is less than the second preset threshold SOC4, the range extender enters the secondary power generation strategy pre-start phase, and then the third real-time vehicle speed V″ is collected;

[0064] When it is determined that the third real-time vehicle speed V″ is greater than the third preset speed V3, according to the power generation strategy database structure in Table 1, the conditions for starting the range extender's secondary power generation strategy are met. At this time, the range extender power generation strategy database is called, and the power generation mode corresponding to the third real-time vehicle speed is determined, such as Figure 1 As shown, at this time, in response to the secondary power generation strategy;

[0065] The range extender is driven in the power generation mode corresponding to the third real-time vehicle speed V″, and the fourth real-time vehicle speed V′″ and the third remaining power SOC″ are collected. When it is determined that the fourth real-time vehicle speed V′″ is greater than or equal to the fourth preset speed V4 or the third remaining power SOC″ is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold value SOC3, this step is repeated, and the range extender continues to operate according to the secondary power generation strategy;

[0066] Specifically, when it is determined that the fourth real-time vehicle speed V′″ is less than the fourth preset speed V4 or the third remaining power is greater than the fourth preset threshold SOC3, the range extender is stopped.

[0067] In summary, in order to avoid excessive discharge of electric vehicle batteries, which may lead to serious power attenuation of the entire vehicle, the start-up conditions of the range extender's secondary power generation strategy are set as follows: the remaining power is less than the second preset threshold SOC4, and the current vehicle speed is greater than the third preset speed. The conditions for exiting the secondary power generation strategy are: the current remaining power of the vehicle is greater than the fourth preset threshold SOC3 or the current vehicle speed is less than the fourth preset speed V4;

[0068] Furthermore, the above-mentioned preset threshold and real-time vehicle speed have the following relationship:

[0069] SO4 <SOC3<SOC2<SOC1;

[0070] V4≤V3≤V2≤V1;

[0071] Among them, the units of V1, V2, V3 and V4 are all km / h; the units of SOC4, SOC3, SOC2 and SOC1 are all %.

[0072] Specifically, when it is determined that the first remaining power SOC is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value SOC2, the range extender is stopped. At this time, the remaining power of the vehicle is sufficient and the range extender does not need to be activated, which can effectively avoid the problem of the range extender continuously charging the battery. After the battery provides the power required for driving to the motor, the rest will be used to charge the battery; so in the actual driving process, the car accelerates or decelerates, and when it decelerates, it will recover part of the energy to charge the battery. If the range extender continues to charge the battery, causing the battery power to be close to a full charge state, then the energy that can be recovered by deceleration / braking of the vehicle in a fully charged state will not charge the battery, resulting in this part of the energy being wasted.

[0073] Furthermore, after stopping the range extender, the first remaining power SOC is collected. When it is determined that the first remaining power SOC is less than the first preset threshold value SOC2, the step of collecting the first real-time vehicle speed when it is determined that the first remaining power is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value is repeatedly performed, thereby forming a continuous monitoring of the vehicle's remaining power. It is ensured that when the current remaining power of the vehicle, that is, the first remaining power SOC collected under different operating conditions is lower than the first preset threshold value SOC2, the charging state can be carried out in time to ensure the normal driving of the vehicle. In this way, in the absence of a map navigation to predict the vehicle's driving conditions, reasonable control of the range extender's power generation can be completed according to the vehicle speed and the remaining power.

[0074] Specifically, when it is determined that the first real-time vehicle speed V is less than or equal to the first preset speed V1, the range extender is stopped; when it is determined that the third real-time vehicle speed V′ is less than or equal to the third preset speed V3, the range extender is stopped. Both of these situations do not meet the conditions for calling the range extender power generation strategy database. This process is to avoid blind charging of the range extender when the remaining power is in a chargeable state but the remaining power can meet the current power required by the vehicle; by collecting the current vehicle speed, the conditions for entering the range extender power generation state are further refined to ensure that the range extender does not generate electricity at a lower vehicle speed, thereby reducing the proportion of operating time at inefficient operating points and improving fuel economy.

[0075] The following describes the primary and secondary power generation strategies for the range extender:

[0076] The primary and secondary power generation strategies are mainly based on the vehicle automatically selecting the range extender power generation point with a driving power exceeding the current real-time vehicle speed. At the same time, the power of the power generation point is within the NVH safety range at the corresponding real-time vehicle speed and is within the preset efficiency area of ​​the range extender.

[0077] Specifically, in the first-level power generation strategy, the excess energy generated by the range extender is stored in the battery to supplement the power consumed in the low-speed range, so that the power is maintained at the starting value. At the same time, and under the premise of meeting NVH requirements, the power generation speed and torque are selected according to the range extender's optimal efficiency curve;

[0078] The secondary power generation strategy selects the range extender power generation point based on a power that exceeds the actual driving power demand of the vehicle, which can charge the battery and quickly restore the power. When the battery power exceeds the set balance point SOC3, the range extender is turned off, i.e., the range extender stops running.

[0079] It should be noted that the specific selection of the range extender power generation point in the first-level power generation strategy and the second-level power generation strategy will be comprehensively judged by the vehicle end based on the current vehicle operating conditions, remaining power, required power and other parameters. It will not only exceed the actual driving power demand of the vehicle but also take into account that the selection range is within the NVH safety range. It is a very complex and huge process.

[0080] The fundamental principle of this solution is that when the vehicle's battery charge is less than the remaining charge required for the range extender to start, the range extender is started and stopped using vehicle speed. To prevent the range extender from generating power at low speeds, a starting speed is set. This starting speed can be determined through testing and calibration under standard operating conditions to meet the needs of most users.

[0081] When the vehicle's actual speed is lower than the starting speed, the range extender is not activated. When the vehicle's actual speed is higher than the starting speed, the range extender is activated and the range extender's power generation point is selected to exceed the actual driving power required by the vehicle in the current speed range. The selection of this power point should also meet the NVH requirements at the corresponding speed and be within the range extender's optimal efficiency area. At this time, the excess electricity generated by the range extender is stored in the battery to supplement the power consumed in the low-speed range to meet the vehicle's power consumption requirements. When the vehicle's actual speed is lower than the exit speed or the battery power is greater than the range extender's exit residual circuit, the range extender is shut down, effectively controlling the range extender's power generation point to achieve the purpose of reducing fuel consumption and improving driving range.

[0082] Example 2

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, a power generation control device for an extended-range electric vehicle includes:

[0084] The remaining power processing module is configured to collect the first remaining power, determine whether the first remaining power is less than a first preset threshold, and determine whether the first remaining power is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold; specifically, when the first remaining power is less than the first preset threshold, determine whether the first remaining power is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, otherwise, directly stop the operation of the range extender; when the first remaining power is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, perform the vehicle speed determination stage before the first-level power generation strategy of the range extender, otherwise, enter the vehicle speed determination stage before the second-level power generation strategy of the range extender;

[0088] Furthermore, the remaining power processing module is specifically used to determine whether the third remaining power is greater than a fourth preset threshold and whether the second remaining power is greater than the third preset threshold. When the third remaining power is greater than the fourth preset threshold, the range extender is stopped; when the second remaining power is greater than the third preset threshold, the range extender is stopped.

[0089] The real-time vehicle speed determination module is further configured to collect a third real-time vehicle speed and determine whether the third real-time vehicle speed is greater than a third preset speed. When the third real-time vehicle speed is greater than the third preset speed, the secondary power generation strategy is activated. When the third real-time vehicle speed is less than or equal to the third preset speed, the range extender is stopped.

[0090] The strategy execution module is further specifically configured to drive the range extender in a power generation mode corresponding to the third real-time vehicle speed, collect a fourth real-time vehicle speed and a third remaining power, and repeat this step when it is determined that the fourth real-time vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a fourth preset speed, or the third remaining power is less than or equal to a fourth preset threshold.
