Abstract
Energy waste inside the powertrain of electric vehicles (EVs) due to non-optimized acceleration caused by the improper powertrain control variables is not generally considered when designing EVs' optimal driving strategies. To fill this gap, this study designs an optimal EV driving strategy taking a holistic approach by explicitly considering the powertrain's internal functionalities to minimize total energy consumption. Firstly, the battery thermal effect is introduced into the powertrain-based EV longitudinal dynamics model, aiming to improve the calculation accuracy of battery state of charge (SOC). Secondly, the eco-driving strategy for three basic driving modes is designed. Finally, the strategy feasibility is verified by its sensitivity to SOC and environment temperature, and its adaptability in realistic driving conditions is tested. Simulation results show that the extremely low SOC can drastically disturb the powertrain, causing acceleration and EV efficiency reduction up to 68.78% and 33.12% in the acceleration process, respectively. However, environment temperature has little effect on the powertrain. The required distance and time to complete the same speed-change task as NEDC are respectively reduced by 17.13% and 12.12%. The proportion of different driving modes in urban and suburban driving conditions is nearly consistent with the applicability preference of the corresponding strategies. The outcomes of this study suggest that the proposed strategy can sufficiently utilize the powertrain coupling effect, and the EV energy consumption is limited by the battery degradation and the electromotor limitation.
