[0058] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of the present application.

[0059] With the increasingly serious energy and environmental problems, and the market cultivation and subsidy policy of pure electric vehicles for many years, new energy vehicles have gradually become the mainstream development direction of the automobile industry. At present, among the new energy vehicles, pure electric vehicles are widely used. Pure electric vehicles are rapidly accepted by people due to their low noise, zero emission, smooth driving and energy saving and environmental protection during operation. However, there are many problems in the rapid development of pure electric vehicles, among which the inaccurate estimation of the remaining range is a common problem and is also a difficult problem to solve at present. In the current pure electric vehicles, there is a common phenomenon of inaccurate estimation of the remaining range of the vehicle, which will cause the power to be consumed out before the expected driving range is reached, causing the user to have "range anxiety". Therefore, the driving range of the pure electric vehicle is an important indicator that users are most concerned about, and the range anxiety of the user is also an important factor restricting the purchase of pure electric vehicles by the user, and accurate estimation of the remaining range of the pure electric vehicle is of great significance and can promote the popularization and development of pure electric vehicles.

[0060] In previous studies, researchers mostly considered the accessory energy consumption as a part of the driving energy consumption for estimating the remaining driving range. However, the accessory energy consumption, especially the air conditioning energy consumption, is not constant under different environments, which causes inaccurate estimation of the remaining driving range and poor prediction effect. Based on the use of existing electric vehicle energy consumption test standards and the current research status at home and abroad, the estimation of the remaining driving range of the electric vehicle mainly includes two parts: estimation of the remaining energy of the power battery and prediction of the driving energy consumption. Related personnel can consider the influence of accessory energy consumption on the vehicle energy consumption when analyzing the vehicle energy consumption, but further comprehensive research is needed for the evaluation method of the electric vehicle energy consumption based on the air conditioning energy consumption. In China, vehicle manufacturers generally use enterprise standards or continue to use relevant test specifications of traditional fuel vehicles for vehicle evaluation related to air conditioning energy consumption, and it is necessary to conduct more specific analysis on the research of vehicle energy consumption evaluation method considering the air conditioning energy consumption under different conditions throughout the year. For the evaluation of the remaining range estimation method of the electric vehicle, related personnel mostly consider the accessory energy consumption as a part of the driving energy consumption for estimating the remaining driving range. The above estimation method is prone to result in inaccurate remaining driving range and poor prediction effect. If the estimated range is higher than the actual drivable range, it may cause the vehicle to run out of power and be stranded during driving; if the estimated range is lower than the actual drivable range, it is difficult to fully utilize the vehicle's driving range; both cases will affect the user experience of the vehicle.

[0061] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0105] The method for determining the remaining range of the electric vehicle provided in the present application determines the driving resistance loss, motor loss, battery consumption, and energy recovery during the driving of the vehicle, and according to these influencing factors, the total energy consumption of the vehicle is calculated, and the remaining range is further determined according to the total energy consumption of the vehicle and the total battery capacity. Since various factors affecting the remaining range during the driving of the vehicle are considered at the same time, the accuracy of the estimation of the remaining range can be improved.

[0106] This application also provides another method for determining the remaining driving range of an electric vehicle, which can improve the accuracy of determining the remaining driving range. This method can be executed by an on-board controller, such as a vehicle controller. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps S201, S202, and S203, wherein:

[0107] In step S201, the power loss due to driving resistance, the power loss due to motor, the power consumed by the battery, and the power recovered by energy are determined.

[0108] In some alternative embodiments, the power loss due to driving resistance is determined using the following formula:

[0109] P F =F t v / 3600

[0110] Where P F For power loss due to driving resistance, F t Let F be the resistance force during travel, v be the vehicle speed, and F be the resistance force during travel. t use

[0122] where P g is the energy recovery power, I is the battery bus current, and U B is the battery terminal voltage.

[0125]

[0126] where E cost is the total energy consumption, P F is the driving resistance loss power, P m is the motor loss power, P b is the battery consumption power, and P g is the energy recovery power.

[0127] In step S203, the remaining cruising range is determined according to the total energy consumption and the total battery capacity.

[0128] In some optional embodiments, the remaining cruising range is expressed by the following formula:

[0129] S rest = (E total -E cost ) x l

[0130] where S rest is the remaining cruising range, E total is the total battery capacity, E cost is the total energy consumption, and l is the unit energy consumption driving range.

[0134] In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0135] When the remaining range is obtained, the remaining range is updated every time the vehicle travels one kilometer.

[0136] In step S204, when the remaining range is obtained, the remaining range is subjected to dual-tree complex wavelet filtering to obtain the filtered remaining range.

[0137] It can be understood that the mileage signal corresponding to the remaining range is mixed with various noises, which needs to be processed to extract useful signals, so the dual-tree complex wavelet filtering transform method is used for real-time optimization of the remaining range, and the specific explanation of the dual-tree complex wavelet filtering technical solution is as follows:

[0138] Since the remaining range displayed on the automobile instrument is inconsistent in period, the displayed range will have a large fluctuation, for example, the instrument displays once every 1km is more fluctuant than once every 10km. From the perspective of accuracy estimation of the remaining range, the more the selected driving mileage, the more accurate the estimation, because the more the driving mileage, the more historical data obtained, and for consumers who have "range anxiety", the remaining range needs to be displayed in real time. Taking the remaining range displayed once every 1km as the simulation and test object, the dual-tree complex wavelet is used for real-time optimization of the remaining range.

[0139] According to the algorithm, several groups of data are tested artificially at random, as shown in Table 1:

[0140] Table 1 (mileage data after dual-tree complex wavelet filtering)

[0141]

[0142] S restk is the measured remaining range; S restkshow is the instrument displayed remaining range; r is the optimal deviation; is the uncertainty; k g is the gain coefficient; σ is the standard covariance. From Table 1, it can be seen that: S restk The measured remaining range is in a relatively large fluctuation range, and the displayed range S restkshow after the dual-tree complex wavelet is in a small fluctuation range, achieving the actual filtering effect.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0144] Obtaining the current driving condition, average speed, constant speed proportion and deceleration proportion.

[0145] The current driving condition, average speed, constant speed ratio and deceleration ratio are substituted into the fuzzy rule database to obtain the condition energy consumption corresponding to the current driving condition, average speed, constant speed ratio and deceleration ratio.

[0146] The total energy consumption is updated according to the condition energy consumption.

[0147] The current driving condition includes urban normal condition, urban congestion condition, suburban smooth condition and high-speed smooth condition.

[0148] The technical solution using fuzzy control can include the following steps:

[0149] (1) Obtain the average speed v mean , constant speed ratio P, deceleration ratio N and total energy consumption E out of the current segment.

[0150] (2) According to the driving condition, the category of the current segment is determined, and the results of 20 typical conditions are determined. 1 represents smooth suburban urban condition, 2 represents smooth high-speed condition, 3 represents normal urban condition, and 4 represents congested urban condition.

[0151] Table 2 (main vehicle parameters of pure electric vehicle)

[0152]

[0153]

[0154] (3) Select 11 groups of data for each feature parameter of each cluster in turn, and arrange each group of data in ascending order.

[0155] (4) Establish a fuzzy library in the Matlab toolbox, input 3 parameters: average speed v mean , constant speed ratio P and deceleration ratio N, and output one parameter: total energy consumption E out .

[0156] (5) Establish fuzzy rules, according to the actual position of each group of parameters, that is, the arranged position in step (3), follow the principle that when condition A is true and condition B is true and condition C is true, execute condition D.

[0157] After establishing the fuzzy rule library between the feature parameters and the energy consumption, the remaining range can be estimated in real time.

[0158] In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0159] Monitoring the air conditioner switch state.

[0160] When the air conditioner is turned on, start recording the vehicle mileage.

[0161] Obtaining air conditioner power.

[0162] Calculating air conditioner energy consumption according to vehicle driving mileage and air conditioner power

[0163] Updating total energy consumption according to air conditioner energy consumption.

[0164] The following will specifically explain the technical scheme of updating the total energy consumption based on the air conditioner energy consumption:

[0165] Taking whether the vehicle reaches 5km driving mileage as the judgment standard, and taking the method of calculating the average energy consumption once every 5km circulation iteration. When the air conditioner is turned on, the first step is to initialize the data, and let the total energy consumption E costAC of the air conditioner equal to 0.

[0166] (1) If the vehicle drives less than 1km, define the total energy consumed by the air conditioner within 5km as:

[0167] E cost = (6-j) x E cInit

[0168] In the formula: j is the driving mileage, the initial value is 1, and the initial value of E cInit is 0.167.

[0169] The average energy consumption is:

[0170]

[0171] The average power is:

[0172]

[0173] In the formula: P meanInit is the initial average power of the air conditioner, which is calibrated according to the actual situation of the vehicle, and P AC is the current power of the air conditioner. The obtainable driving mileage is:

[0174]

[0175] In the formula: E total is the total energy of the vehicle, and E costA is the energy consumed during driving.

[0176] (2) If the electric vehicle drives more than 1km and less than 5km, define the total energy consumed by the air conditioner within 5km as:

[0177] E cost = (6-j) x E cInit + E Dcost

[0178] In the formula: EDcost The energy consumed by the air conditioner is kWh. The average energy consumption is as follows:

[0179]

[0180] The average power is:

[0181]

[0182] In the formula, T tem The total time of driving is h. Similarly, the expression of the drivable range is shown in formula (29).

[0183] (3) If the vehicle has driven more than 5 km before the air conditioner is turned on, the energy consumed in the last 5 km is:

[0184] E cost = PE cost6 - PE cost1

[0185] In the formula, PE cost6 is the energy consumed by the vehicle, PE cost1 is the total energy consumed by the vehicle in the last 5 km, and the average energy consumption is as follows:

[0186]

[0187] The driving time of 5 km is:

[0188] S 5time = T6-T1

[0189] In the formula, T6 is the time the vehicle has driven, and T1 is the driving time of the vehicle in the last 5 km. The average power is:

[0190]

[0191] Similarly, the expression of the drivable range is as follows:

[0192]

[0193] In some optional embodiments, the unit kilometer energy consumption can also be optimized:

[0194] During the driving process of the car, the current latest segment data is obtained, and the corresponding cluster category is calculated. Then, the average speed v mean , the uniform speed ratio P and the deceleration ratio N are established in the fuzzy library, and the current segment energy consumption E c is calculated, so that the energy consumption of the current vehicle is calculated as:

[0195]

[0196] The remaining energy is derived from the total energy consumption as follows:

[0197] E rest = E total -E cost

[0198] In the formula, E total is the total energy of the battery.

[0199] This embodiment optimizes the unit energy consumption driving range according to actual experience. In order to meet the linearly decreasing trend of the remaining range, a linear relationship between the unit energy consumption and the remaining energy consumption is established as follows:

[0200] l = l min +k(E rest -E min )

[0201] In the formula, l min is the minimum value of the unit energy consumption driving range obtained by the clustering algorithm, which is taken as 2 km according to the clustering result; E rest is the remaining battery capacity; E min is the conservative minimum capacity, which is taken as 4 kWh according to the actual situation; and k is the linear estimation quantity. The relationship between the driving range and the battery capacity during vehicle driving is as follows:

[0202]

[0203] In the formula, f, m, and A are parameters set in Table 1; E total is taken as 28.2 kWh; C D is taken as 0.294; and v is taken as 40 km / h. Thus, the maximum driving range of the vehicle at a uniform speed of 40 km / h is obtained. The relationship between the maximum driving range of the vehicle and the total battery capacity is as follows:

[0204] S = E total [l min +k(E total -E min ) ]

[0205] Finally, k = 0.206 6 is obtained. The value of k is mainly determined by the total battery capacity of the vehicle and the maximum driving range of the vehicle when it is driven at the optimal speed, i.e., this value can be calibrated according to different parameters of the vehicle.

[0206] The final remaining driving range is as follows:

[0207] S rest = (E total -E cost ) × l

[0208] The method for determining the residual cruising range of the electric vehicle provided in the application determines the driving resistance loss, motor loss, battery consumption and energy recovery and other influencing factors in the driving process of the vehicle, and according to these influencing factors, the total energy consumption of the vehicle is obtained by calculation, and the residual cruising range is further determined according to the total energy consumption of the vehicle and the total battery capacity. Since the various factors affecting the residual cruising range in the driving process of the vehicle are considered at the same time, the accuracy of the estimation of the residual cruising range can be improved.

[0209] The embodiment of the application further provides a device for determining the residual cruising range of an electric vehicle.
