Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electric vehicles and other new energy vehicles are cleaner and more environmentally friendly than traditional fuel vehicles, and their ownership has been increasing in recent years.

[0003] Currently, electric vehicles still suffer from unclear energy distribution methods. Each component often operates at its maximum capacity, lacking control algorithms that adapt to different driving conditions, resulting in short driving range and hindering the promotion and development of electric vehicles.

[0004] Various industries urgently need more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient energy supply methods; therefore, electric vehicles need to optimize internal energy management and adopt more precise and intelligent energy management methods to reduce energy waste, improve energy utilization, and alleviate range anxiety.

[0005] Thermal management in electric vehicles primarily encompasses the thermal management of the power battery, motor, electronic control system, and passenger compartment. Electrical management mainly includes the electrical management of the power battery, motor, electronic control system, and other electrical equipment. Thermal management ensures that functional components operate at optimal temperatures and meets the cooling and heating needs of the passenger compartment, while also mitigating safety risks associated with battery and motor thermal runaway. Electrical management ensures normal vehicle starting and operation, battery charging and discharging, and provides power to the air conditioning system. Both thermal and electrical management are essential. Current technologies mostly focus on either thermal or electrical management alone. While single-point thermal or electrical management can achieve localized optimization of equipment performance and improve thermal or electrical energy utilization efficiency, it may not be optimal for the overall performance of the electric vehicle.

The objective function of the passenger compartment determines the temperature control strategy by calculating the deviation between the real-time passenger compartment temperature and the optimal human thermal comfort temperature, ensuring both the accuracy and stability of the passenger compartment temperature and the requirements of human thermal comfort. The objective function of the battery considers battery efficiency and the battery's output power; simultaneously, the battery is subject to constraints imposed by its own equipment, such as temperature, upper and lower capacity limits. By considering these constraints, the safety and stability of the battery can be ensured, and the charging and discharging power of the battery can be optimized when implementing electrothermal synergistic control, thus achieving better dynamic energy management. The objective function of the air conditioning heat pump calculates the power consumption of the air conditioning heat pump equipment during cooling and heating, thereby optimizing the energy utilization efficiency of the air conditioning heat pump. In summary, the objective functions disclosed in this invention play a key role in electrothermal synergistic control and performance improvement. By comprehensively considering factors such as the energy demand, temperature control requirements, and human thermal comfort of various components and equipment of electric vehicles, they achieve dynamic energy management and thermo-electric synergistic optimization, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency and performance of the entire vehicle.
