Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hybrid electric vehicle energy management, and in particular relates to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle shifting and energy-saving control method, device and system. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutrality policies, the popularity and market growth of hybrid electric vehicles have achieved remarkable development. Due to the existence of multiple power sources, the shift control and energy management strategy of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have a great impact on the fuel economy and power of the vehicle.

[0003] Currently, in vehicle operation, gear shift control is usually designed based on rules or expert experience. When designing the energy management strategy of hybrid vehicles, if the gear shift sequence is taken into consideration, the optimization problem will become more complicated. Because the gear shift sequence is a discrete decision process, it involves selecting different gear ratios to adapt to different driving conditions. This choice usually causes the optimization problem to become a mixed integer problem, that is, there are both integer variables and continuous variables in the problem. Mixed integer problems are usually more difficult to solve than pure continuous optimization problems because they may have multiple local optimal solutions and the solution process may require more computing resources. Since mixed integer problems are more complex than continuous optimization problems, the amount of computation required to solve such problems will increase significantly. This may mean that it takes longer to find the optimal solution or more powerful computing equipment may be required.

[0004] In addition, due to the complexity and unpredictability of traffic conditions, it is difficult to determine an optimal equivalence factor. The equivalence factor is an indicator of energy distribution efficiency, which affects the fuel consumption performance of the car under different driving conditions. The unpredictable SOC trajectory of the battery increases the difficulty of determining the optimal equivalence factor because it is necessary to take into account multiple possible driving conditions and battery states.

[0035] Step S1, collecting vehicle driving data;

[0036] Step S2, performing C-means cluster analysis on the collected data;

[0037] Step S3, according to the C-means cluster analysis results, 70% of the data is used as a training set, 15% of the data is used as a validation set, and 15% is used as a test set;

[0038] Step S4: construct a BP neural network and use the BP neural network to perform online optimization on the shift sequence.

[0039] Step S5, using the sparrow search algorithm to determine the reference curve of SOC, and compare it with the current SOC to iteratively update the equivalent factor;

[0040] Step S6: Real-time update of the equivalent fuel minimum strategy optimizes the gear shift and power distribution, showing better fuel economy under hybrid drive and achieving energy saving effect.

[0041] Furthermore, in the step S1, the vehicle driving data is collected, and the test equipment mainly includes a GPS sensor, an information collection instrument, a power supply, etc. The information collection instrument collects signals such as the vehicle driving speed, accelerator pedal opening, brake pedal opening, engine speed, accelerator opening change rate, brake opening change rate, etc. through CAN communication;

[0042] Furthermore, in step S2, C-means cluster analysis is performed on the collected data, which mainly includes initializing cluster centers, calculating membership matrix, updating cluster centers, and iterating to obtain cluster results.

[0043] The initialization of cluster centers uses a random selection method to select c data points from the data set as initial cluster centers. The cluster center vector V is a c×d matrix, where c is the number of cluster centers and d is the characteristic dimension of the data.

[0044] The membership matrix is ​​calculated by calculating the membership of the data point according to the current cluster center. The membership matrix U is an n×c matrix, where n is the total number of data points. iTo each cluster center v j The membership degree u ij The calculation is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, d(x i ,v j ) is the data point x i and cluster center v j The Euclidean distance between them, m is the fuzziness factor, set to 2, and ∈ is a small constant added to avoid division by zero errors.

[0047] The cluster center is updated by using the membership matrix U to update the position of each cluster center. The new cluster center is estimated The calculation is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, x i is the ith data point.

[0050] The iterative clustering result is obtained by repeatedly calculating the membership matrix and updating the cluster center steps until the change of the membership matrix U or the cluster center vector V is less than the set threshold δ, that is, |V new -V old |<δ or |U new -U old When |<δ, the iteration ends and the clustering analysis results are obtained.

[0051] Furthermore, in step S4, a BP neural network is constructed, the network structure is determined, including the number of nodes in the input layer, hidden layer and output layer, and a suitable activation function is determined.

[0052] Furthermore, in step S5, the current SOC can be calculated by a vehicle model formula, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, SOC i is the initial SOC of the power battery, Q bat is the power battery capacity, I b is the power battery output current.

[0055]

[0056] Among them, U oc is the open circuit voltage of the power battery, R int is the internal resistance of the power battery, P bat It is the output power of the power battery.

[0057] Furthermore, in step S5, the sparrow search algorithm is divided into three steps: "discoverer behavior", "follower behavior" and "detection warning mechanism", and finally the equivalent factor is iteratively updated by comparing the reference curve of the optimized SOC with the current SOC;

In each generation, PN sparrows with the best position in the population are selected as discoverers, and the remaining N-PN sparrows are selected as followers.

[0059]

[0060] in, represents the d-dimensional position of the i-th individual in the t-th generation in the population, α is a uniform random number in (0,1], iter max is the constant with the largest number of iterations, Q is a standard normal distribution random number, R 2 is a uniform random number in [0,1], and ST is the warning threshold in the range of [0.5,1].

[0061] The follower behavior is that after the discoverer behavior is updated, the remaining sparrows adopt the follower behavior.

[0062]

[0063] Among them, xw is the worst position of the sparrows in the current population, and xb is the optimal position of the sparrows in the population.

[0064] The detection and early warning mechanism is that when danger approaches, both the discoverer and the follower will abandon the current position and move to a new position.

[0065]

[0066] Among them, β is a random number that conforms to the standard normal distribution, K is a uniform random number between [-1,1], ε is a small number to prevent the denominator from being unique, and f w is the fitness value of the sparrow in the worst position.

[0067] Furthermore, in step S6, the instantaneous equivalent fuel consumption It can be expressed as follows:

[0068]

[0069] in, is the instantaneous fuel consumption, is the equivalent fuel consumption of electricity, s(t) is the efficiency chain of fuel conversion into electricity, Q ln v is the low calorific value of the fuel, p is the penalty factor introduced, and the value of p is determined by the vehicle's current SOC and SOC ref Decide.

[0070] The constraints that the optimal control problem should satisfy are:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, T e_min and T e_max are the minimum and maximum torque of the engine, ω e_min and ω e_max are the minimum and maximum engine speed, T dm_min and T dm_max are the maximum and minimum torque of the driving motor, ω dm_min and ω dm_max They are the maximum and minimum speed of the drive motor, SOC min and SOC max They are the maximum and minimum SOC values ​​of the power battery set by the energy management strategy.
