Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle energy management, in particular to a range extender energy management method, device, equipment and medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The range-extender hybrid vehicle is driven by an electric motor, and has good power performance, responsiveness and driving smoothness. When the power battery has sufficient power, the power battery alone supplies power to the electric drive system; when the power battery has low power, the range extender starts to generate power. The range extender is a power generation unit composed of an engine and an ISG motor, and the range extender and the electric drive system are not mechanically connected, so the engine speed / torque and the wheel speed / torque are completely decoupled, and the engine can always operate in the high-efficiency zone, thereby having good fuel economy.

[0003] If the power generation of the range extender is greater than the sum of the power consumption of the electric drive system and the vehicle accessories (such as electronic water pumps, electronic fans, etc.), the remaining electric energy is stored in the power battery; if the power generation of the range extender is lower than the sum of the power consumption of the electric drive system and the vehicle accessories (such as electronic water pumps, electronic fans, etc.), the electric energy stored in the power battery is released. Due to the existence of the battery internal resistance, the storage and release process of the electric energy will cause energy loss. Therefore, the electric energy generated by the range extender should be used for driving as much as possible to reduce the loss of the electric energy in the storage and release process in the battery. On the other hand, the power of the electric drive system changes in real time during vehicle driving, especially in urban driving conditions, the vehicle frequently accelerates and decelerates, and the power of the electric drive system fluctuates greatly. If the power generation of the range extender completely follows the power change of the electric drive system, the engine speed and torque will fluctuate greatly, and the instantaneous fuel consumption, emission and NVH of the engine will be deteriorated. Therefore, for the range-extender hybrid vehicle, the control of the power generation of the range extender has a great influence on the power performance, fuel economy and driving experience of the vehicle.

[0004] The current rule-based energy management strategy of the range-extender hybrid vehicle mainly includes a single-point power control strategy, a multi-point power control strategy, and a power following control strategy. The single-point power control strategy is to operate the range extender at a specified single operating point, which will cause a large charging and discharging power loss of the battery; the multi-point power control strategy is to operate the range extender at specified operating points based on the size of the vehicle demand power. When the range extender switches among the operating points, the engine has a large transient fuel consumption loss, and the vehicle NVH is poor. The power following control strategy is to make the power generation of the range extender follow the fluctuation of the vehicle demand power, which reduces the charging and discharging loss of the battery. When the vehicle demand power changes dramatically, the engine speed / torque will fluctuate greatly, thereby reducing the fuel economy of the vehicle. SUMMARY

[0045] It should be noted that the term “comprising” will be used in the embodiments of the present application to indicate the existence of the features declared thereafter, but does not exclude the addition of other features.

[0046] Current rule-based energy management strategies for range-extended hybrid electric vehicles (REEVs) mainly include single-point power control, multi-point power control, and power-following control. Single-point power control operates the range extender at a single designated operating point, resulting in significant power loss during battery charging and discharging. Multi-point power control operates the range extender at several designated operating points based on the vehicle's power demand. When the range extender switches between these operating points, there is significant transient fuel consumption loss in the engine, and the vehicle's NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) is poor. Power-following control adjusts the range extender's power output to match the vehicle's power demand, reducing battery charging and discharging losses. However, when the vehicle's power demand changes drastically, it causes large fluctuations in engine speed / torque, reducing overall fuel economy.

[0047] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a range extender energy management method, apparatus, device, and medium, which are described below through embodiments.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a range extender energy management method disclosed in this application will first be described in detail. For example... Figure 1 A flowchart of a range extender energy management method is shown below. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a range extender energy management method. This application provides a range extender energy management method applicable to vehicles, the method comprising:

[0050] S101. Calculate the mechanical power required for vehicle driving based on the depth of the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is driven, and obtain the electric power required for vehicle driving based on the mechanical power required for vehicle driving, the driving efficiency of the preset electric drive assembly and the electric power of vehicle accessories.

[0051] S102. Process the power generation range of the range extender to obtain the power generation sequence of the range extender and the corresponding minimum fuel consumption power sequence, and obtain the net battery power sequence and the corresponding total battery power sequence based on the power generation sequence of the range extender and the electric power required for vehicle driving.

[0052] S103. Calculate the power generation sequence of the range extender to obtain the corresponding power fluctuation penalty value sequence. Based on the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender, obtain the target power generation value of the range extender. The battery equivalent energy consumption sequence is obtained based on the total battery power sequence and the oil-electric conversion equivalence factor.

[0053] S104, based on the range extender power generation target model, calculating the range extender power generation power in the range extender power generation power sequence to obtain a corresponding range extender power generation target value, to screen out a range extender optimal power generation target value, and based on the range extender optimal power generation target value, controlling the speed and torque of the engine of the vehicle.

[0054] In this application, the vehicle is replaced by the range-extending hybrid electric vehicle, that is, the vehicle in this application is the range-extending hybrid electric vehicle.

[0055] In step S101, various sensors are installed in the vehicle to detect the relevant parameters of various devices on the vehicle, or other mature technologies applied to the vehicle can be used to detect the relevant parameters of various devices on the vehicle. In this application, after the vehicle is started, the motor assembly, vehicle accessories, range extender and accelerator on the vehicle are detected based on various sensors on the vehicle, and the output power of the motor assembly, the electric power of the vehicle accessories, the power of the range extender and the depth of the accelerator pedal of the driver when driving the vehicle are detected. The vehicle accessories refer to the sum of the auxiliary function devices installed on the vehicle body, which generally include the low-voltage load of the whole vehicle and the high-voltage load of the whole vehicle. The low-voltage load of the whole vehicle is, for example, lighting, controller power supply, electronic fan, electronic water pump, etc., and the high-voltage load of the whole vehicle is, for example, electric steering pump, electric air pump, electric defrosting, etc. Based on the obtained output power of the motor assembly, electric power of the vehicle accessories and power of the range extender and the depth of the accelerator pedal of the driver when driving the vehicle, the driving efficiency of the electric drive assembly, the mechanical power required for driving the vehicle, and the electric power required for driving the vehicle are calculated, respectively. The mechanical power required for driving the vehicle is calculated by the depth of the accelerator pedal of the driver when driving the vehicle, and the electric power required for driving the vehicle is calculated based on the mechanical power required for driving the vehicle, the driving efficiency of the electric drive assembly and the electric power of the vehicle accessories. The driving efficiency of the electric drive assembly and the electric power of the vehicle accessories are pre-set and do not need to be calculated. The electric power required for driving the vehicle needs to be provided by the range extender and the battery, so the electric power required for driving the vehicle is the sum of the power of the range extender and the power of the battery.

[0056] In step S102, in order to make the range extender meet different use scenarios and requirements, meet the power requirements in different driving conditions, such as low speed or high speed or extreme conditions, or adapt to different vehicle models or weights, such as large SUV or MPV which may require a range extender with larger power to meet its power requirements, in order to improve the driving experience, the range extender needs to provide large power, so the value of the power generation power of the range extender on the vehicle can be output from 0 to the maximum value, the different power of the range extender is processed to obtain the range extender power generation power sequence, and the lowest fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender is obtained based on the range extender power generation power sequence, and since the power of the range extender is different, the power required by the battery is also different, and then the range extender power generation power sequence and the vehicle driving demand electric power are operated to obtain the battery net power sequence, the battery net power sequence is the net power required by the battery when assisting the range extender, and the battery total power sequence P bat,total Based on the battery net power sequence P bat,net And the corresponding internal resistance consumption power sequence P bat,res The total power required by the battery to assist the range extender is calculated, the battery net power sequence P bat,net Is calculated based on the vehicle driving demand electric power P dem And the range extender power generation power sequence P APU , which is represented by formula (1):

[0057] P bat,net =[0,P dem -P 1,APU ,P dem –P 2,APU ,P dem –P 3,APU ,…P dem –P N,APU ] (1)

[0058] The battery internal resistance consumption power sequence is calculated based on the battery internal resistance R and the open circuit voltage Voc obtained by the open circuit voltage method, which is represented by formula (2):

[0059]

[0060] The battery total power sequence P bat,total =P bat,net +P bat,res .

[0061] In the specific implementation process of step S102, there is an embodiment: the power generation power range of the range extender is processed to obtain the range extender power generation power sequence and the corresponding lowest fuel consumption power sequence, which includes:

[0062] S1021, calculate the minimum fuel consumption rate sequence of the range extender based on the range extender power generation sequence, and send it to the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model;

[0063] S1022, the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model processes the range extender minimum fuel consumption rate sequence based on the preset low heat value of fuel to obtain a range extender minimum fuel consumption power sequence.

[0064] In steps S1021-S1022, the range extender minimum fuel consumption power sequence P fuel,APU is calculated based on the calculated range extender power generation sequence, represented by P fuel,APU , unit: g / h, the range extender minimum fuel consumption power sequence P fuel,APU is input into the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model, which is represented by formula (3):

[0065] P fuel,APU = Hu*FC APU / 3600 (3)

[0066] Where Hu is the low heat value of fuel, which refers to the heat generated by unit mass of fuel when it is completely burned, unit: kJ / g, which is obtained by pre-storing and calling when the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model is used. The range extender minimum fuel consumption power sequence FC APU is input into the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model, and the range extender minimum fuel consumption power sequence can be calculated.

[0067] In the specific implementation process of step S1021, there is an embodiment that: the range extender minimum fuel consumption rate sequence is calculated based on the range extender power generation sequence, and sent to the range extender minimum fuel consumption power model, including:

[0068] S10211, discretize the different powers of the range extender to establish a range extender power generation sequence based on the discretized different powers of the range extender;

[0069] S10212, process the range extender power generation sequence to obtain a range extender minimum specific fuel consumption sequence, and obtain a range extender minimum fuel consumption rate sequence based on the range extender power generation sequence and the range extender minimum specific fuel consumption sequence.

[0070] In steps S10211-S10212, the different powers of the range extender are sorted first in ascending order to obtain a sorted sequence from 0 to the maximum power generation, and the sorted sequence from 0 to the maximum power generation is discretized to obtain N discrete power generation points, and the range extender power generation sequence is established based on the N discrete power generation points, and the range extender power generation sequence is represented by P APU , the unit of the range extender power generation sequence P APU is kw, and is represented by formula (4):

[0071] P APU = [0, P 1,APU , P 2,APU , P 3,APU , … P N,APU ] (4)

[0072] where P N,APU is the maximum power generation of the range extender, and the minimum specific fuel consumption sequence of the range extender is obtained by collecting the minimum specific fuel consumption corresponding to each of the multiple power generations in the range extender power generation sequence P APU , the unit of the minimum specific fuel consumption is g / kwh, and the specific fuel consumption can be obtained based on the engine universal characteristic and the efficiency Map of the generator, and the minimum specific fuel consumption sequence of the range extender is represented by formula (5):

[0073] BSFC APU = [0, bsfc1, bsfc2, … bsfc N ] (5)

[0074] where BSFC APU represents the minimum specific fuel consumption sequence of the range extender, and the range extender power generation sequence P APU and the minimum specific fuel consumption sequence BSFC APU of the range extender are processed based on formula (6) to obtain the minimum fuel consumption rate sequence FC APU of the range extender:

[0075] FC APU = P APU * BSFC APU (6)。

[0076] In step S03, in order to calculate the influence of the change of the power of the range extender on the NVH characteristics of the vehicle, the range extender power generation sequence P APUThe power fluctuation penalty value sequence corresponding to the range extender when the power fluctuation occurs is calculated, and the range extender power generation target value is obtained based on the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender; that is, the range extender power generation target value is the target value for achieving the energy management of the range extender, and the range extender power generation target value can best guarantee the NVH characteristics of the vehicle. The battery is a device that provides power for the vehicle together with the range extender, and therefore the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence also has a certain impact on the range extender power generation target value, and therefore the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence needs to be calculated.

[0077] In the implementation process of step S103, there is an embodiment that the range extender power generation target value is obtained by processing the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender based on the range extender power generation target model, including:

[0078] S10311, inputting the calculated power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender into the preset range extender power generation target model;

[0079] S10312, the range extender power generation target model processes the power fluctuation penalty value sequence, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender to obtain the range extender power generation target value.

[0080] In steps S10311-S10312, the calculated power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender are input into the preset range extender power generation target model, wherein the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender is represented by P var , the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender is represented by P fuel,APU , and based on the above, the range extender power generation target model is represented by formula (7):

[0081] H=P fuel,APU +Eq*P bat,total +P var (7)

[0082] wherein H is the range extender power generation target value, Eq is the oil-electric conversion equivalent factor of the battery, P bat,total is the total power sequence of the battery, Eq*P bat,total is the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the range extender power generation target model represented by formula (7) can obtain the range extender power generation target value by calculating the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender, the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence, and the minimum fuel consumption power sequence of the range extender.

[0083] In a specific implementation of step S10311, one embodiment includes the following steps for calculating the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender:

[0084] S103111, Calculate the absolute value sequence of the difference between the range extender's power generation sequence at this moment and the actual power generation of the range extender at the previous moment.

[0085] S103112. Integrate the absolute value sequence with the preset power fluctuation penalty factor of the range extender to obtain the power fluctuation penalty value sequence of the range extender.

[0086] In steps S103111-S103112, the actual power generation of the range extender during vehicle operation is processed. Specifically, the range extender's power generation during vehicle operation is obtained, and the absolute value sequence of the difference between the power generation at this moment and the actual power generation at the previous moment is calculated. This absolute value sequence represents the offset of the range extender's power generation compared to the actual power at the previous moment. For example, if the range extender's power generation sequence is [0, 1, 2, ..., 100, 101, ..., 200], and the actual power generation at the previous moment was 100 kW, then the power difference sequence is [-100, -99, -98, ..., 0, 1, ..., 100]. The absolute value sequence is obtained by performing absolute value processing on the power difference sequence. Then, a preset power fluctuation penalty factor is applied to this absolute value sequence based on the offset. The power fluctuation penalty factor is represented by K. var This indicates that the power fluctuation penalty factor K var The power fluctuation penalty factor K can be obtained through calibration. var The larger the value, the greater the penalty value corresponding to the unit power fluctuation, indicating a stronger desire to prevent engine power fluctuations. The absolute value sequence is then integrated with a pre-set power fluctuation penalty factor for the range extender to obtain the range extender's power fluctuation penalty value sequence P. var That is, the power fluctuation penalty value sequence P of the range extender is guaranteed by the power fluctuation penalty factor. var The accuracy of the power fluctuation penalty value sequence P of the range extender. var This can be expressed using formula (8):

[0087] P var =K var *abs(P APU -P APU,act (8)

[0088] Among them, P APU,act is the actual power output of the range extender at the previous moment, and abs(PAPU-PAPU,act) is the sequence of absolute values ​​of the difference between the range extender power output sequence and the actual power output of the range extender at the previous moment.

[0089] In the implementation process of step S103, there is an embodiment that the specific steps for calculating the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence through the battery oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor and the battery total power sequence include:

[0090] S10321, calculate the battery oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor based on the state of charge of the battery;

[0091] S10322, obtain the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence by combining the battery oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor and the battery total power sequence.

[0092] In steps S10321-S10322, the state of charge of the battery is represented by SOC, and there are various methods for obtaining the state of charge SOC of the battery. Here, the state of charge SOC of the battery can be obtained by communicating with the BMS module of the battery, and the oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor Eq can be obtained through formula (9):

[0093] Eq=f(SOC) (9);

[0094] Wherein, the oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor Eq represents the fuel power value equivalent to unit power, the larger the oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor Eq, the larger the fuel consumption power equivalent to the unit power output by the battery, and the value changes with SOC. The lower the SOC, the larger the equivalent factor, at which time from the total equivalent energy point of view, it is more inclined to increase the generator power to charge the battery; the higher the SOC, the smaller the equivalent factor, at which time it is more inclined to let the battery discharge, reduce the generator power or stop the generator. Eq can be calibrated according to SOC, or SOC can be adjusted to the target charge state SOC by PID, and the battery equivalent energy consumption sequence Eq*P can be obtained by multiplying the battery oil-electricity conversion equivalent factor and the battery total power sequence. bat,total .

[0095] In step S104, since the range extender power sequence has multiple different range extender power values, the control variable method is selected, the range extender power of each range extender power in the range extender power sequence is calculated to obtain the range extender power corresponding to the range extender target value, and the smallest range extender target value is selected as the optimal range extender power. The optimal range extender power is the best power value of the range extender during vehicle driving, and the speed and torque of the engine of the vehicle are controlled based on the optimal range extender power, so that the vehicle reaches the optimal range extender power at the controlled speed and torque, thereby reducing the power fluctuation transient fuel consumption of the engine, improving the engine emission and NVH characteristics, and ensuring the driving effect of the vehicle.

[0096] In a specific implementation of step S104, one embodiment is as follows: The calculation of the range extender power generation in the range extender power generation sequence based on the range extender power generation target model to obtain the corresponding range extender power generation target value, thereby selecting the optimal range extender power generation target value, and controlling the vehicle's engine speed and torque based on the optimal range extender power generation target value, includes:

[0097] S1041. Using the range extender power generation in the range extender power generation sequence as the control scalar, obtain the range extender power generation target value calculated by the range extender power generation target model.

[0098] S1042. Based on the obtained multiple range extender power generation target values, the optimal power generation target value of the range extender is obtained by screening.

[0099] In steps S1041-S1042, the range extender power generation sequence contains multiple different range extender power generation values. Therefore, the control variable method is used to change the range extender power generation value to obtain different range extender power generation target values. The multiple range extender power generation target values ​​are sorted to obtain the smallest range extender power generation target value, and the smallest range extender power generation target value is taken as the optimal range extender power generation target value. The optimal range extender power generation value at the optimal range extender power generation target value is obtained using formula (10):

[0100] P APU,opt =argmin(H) (10).

[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, this is the universal characteristic diagram of the engine. The vertical axis represents the engine torque, the horizontal axis represents the engine speed, and the gray curve represents the e-line curve of the range extender, which is the curve of the lowest fuel consumption point under the power generation of each range extender. The intersection of the power line and the e-line curve is the torque and speed of the corresponding generator. That is, the optimal generator speed and torque can be obtained from this curve.
