Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to power management for range- extended plug-in electric vehicles.
  • P!ug- ⁇ hybrid electric vehicles are an extension of existing hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology, in which a primary battery pack is supplemented with a secondary power source (e.g. , an internal combustion engine, a fuel ceil system) to gain increased mileage and reduced vehicle emissions.
  • a PHEV adds the capability of recharging the battery pack from a standard electrical outlet or other external power source. Because the battery pack has a large capacity, the PHEV can be operated primarily by electric propulsion for a substantial distance, for example, a battery operation range of 10-40 miles, after a full battery recharge.
  • the secondary power source is only started to assist vehicle propulsion in limited circumstances such as high speed and/or high power demand operations due to system constraints.
  • the secondary power source takes over the primary role in vehicle propulsion by consuming fuel energy ⁇ e.g., gasoline, diesel, hydrogen).
  • fuel energy e.g., gasoline, diesel, hydrogen.
  • a PHEV While conventional HEVs are operated to maintain the battery state of charge (SOC) at a nearly constant level, a PHEV generally uses as much pre-saved battery electric (“grid”) energy as possible before the next battery charge event due to the relatively lower cost of grid-supplied electric energy.
  • grid battery electric
  • the PHEV resumes operation as a conventional HEV, in order to ensure that the grid-supplied electric energy is expended, the base PHEV control mode largely uses up the electric energy first and the secondary power source takes over the leading role in vehicle propulsion only when the battery is substantially discharged.

  • a mostly charged PHEV is driven in the discharging mode for the first part of the trip, where the battery's SOC exhibits a net decrease between points 14 and 16. Due to the lower cost of electricity compared to fuel, the available battery electric energy is used for vehicle usage function before the next PHEV plug-in recharge event to largely displace fuel consumption. Since knowledge of the occurrence of the next battery recharge event is usually unknown, by default, the PHEV operation starts in the discharging mode to maximize the likelihood of battery depletion before the end of the trip.
  • DM discharging mode
  • CSfvl charge-sustaining mode
  • the battery's electric energy is used primarily to propel the vehicle, thereby maximally or near maximally depleting the electric energy stored in the battery.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes de commande multimode et des procédés pour des véhicules électriques rechargeables de plus grande autonomie. Le véhicule électrique rechargeable utilise principalement une batterie en tant que source d'énergie et utilise une source d'alimentation secondaire, telle qu'un sous-système de pile à combustible, comme chargeur de batterie pour étendre l'autonomie du véhicule. Un sous-système de commande actionne la source d'énergie secondaire afin de minimiser la consommation de carburant quand on arrive en fin de voyage. Dans certains modes de fonctionnement, la source d'énergie secondaire fonctionne à pleine puissance nominale pour réduire le temps d'exécution requis de la source d'énergie secondaire, pour ainsi augmenter sa durée de vie. La source d'alimentation secondaire peut également fonctionner de manière plus efficace en pleine puissance nominale par rapport à un fonctionnement en mode de puissance partielle ou de suivi de charge.
