  • the traditional truck needed to downshift (decelerate) to increase the driving force when going uphill (see DP and PIC-based speed trajectory in Figure 7a, which caused the undesirable acceleration and braking on the downhill (see DP and PIC-based energy consumption in Figure 7b to meet the trip time requirement. Because the ET powered by the motor was able to go uphill without decelerating and with a high speed, it left wider space for improving energy consumption when going downhill than the traditional truck did.

It was observed that after speed control using ADMM, the charge delivered by the battery reduces 71.5 Ah, which accounts for 22.9% of the battery nominal capacity. As the capacity degradation is proportional to the Ah throughput, the ADMM controller was expected to extend the battery life by more than 20% compared to the CC policy. This high improvement showed that, when compared with the CC benchmark, the proposed eco-control algorithm not only minimized energy consumption but also extended battery life. The improvement of battery health came from the fact that the proposed minimum energy control avoided undesirable braking. Note that the battery delivered about twice the

  • the battery aging evaluation results are presented in Table 4. It was surprising to find that battery life based on ADMM was extended by 34.9% compared to CC. The ADMM controller led to lower battery DOD and thus smaller SOC avg and SOC dev than the CC controller did. This low battery DOD caused a reduction of 15.5% on the capacity fading rate ⁇ using ADMM compared to using CC. This is the reason why ADMM extended the battery life much higher than the afore-mentioned value of 20%. It was also found that the ET battery life was shorter than 5 years for both controllers, which indicated the necessity to extend battery life from the perspective of EV real-time operations.

  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) for CC was also set to 1.2 s. It was observed that the ADMM controller saved more energy than the CC does in both cases, when the ADMM still braked less on flat roads. In case 1, the ADMM perfectly used resistances (air and frictional) to decelerate while the CC used additional braking which thus consumed more energy. In case 2, the ADMM braked for a little while at first then decelerated perfectly depending on resistances, while the CC braked until reaching the desired speed. Figure 8 indicates that the method still worked on saving energy for trucks following a preceding vehicle, and more energy was expected to be further saved with the road slopes involved.

  • the simulation results show that the developed method is able to exploit topographical conditions for improved energy management, both in terms of minimizing total battery discharge and prolong battery lifetime. It shows that the ADMM control consumes less energy under different scenarios than the dynamic programming (DP) control, proportional integral control (PIC) and uniform speed cruise control (CC). Generally, ADMM consumes 4%-5% less energy than CC does. It is thrilling to find the method and vehicle herein generally extends battery life by more than 30% than CC does. These results suggest the necessity to improve battery energy consumption and aging by optimizing truck speed trajectories. The battery energy and aging improvement values still hold when the traffic is introduced, which indicates that our method is also able to be used to suitable electric vehicles such as passenger vehicles, buses or trucks in urban driving.
