ABSTRACT |
This paper is a study on energy efficiency prediction model of heavy-duty electric vehicles using numerical
simulation. Because the current energy consumption efficiency evaluation method for electric vehicles has limitations in
terms of manpower, resources, and time required, therefore a simulation model development to predict electric vehicle energy
consumption efficiency is needed. Furthermore, research on heavy-duty electric vehicles is relatively insufficient compared to
light-duty electric vehicles, and the need of research on heavy-duty electric vehicles is increasing. Therefore, this study
develops an energy efficiency prediction model for heavy-duty electric vehicles and verifies it with the experimental results.
Based on this, the applicability of the simulation method using the developed prediction model to the current energy
efficiency evaluation management system for heavy-duty electric vehicles was reviewed. To verify the accuracy of the
simulation model, the dynamometer test results were compared to simulation results, and the UDS protocol was used to
acquire internal data for heavy-duty electric vehicles. Reliability of simulation model was secured by comparing data such as
motor speed, battery voltage/current, state of charge and total driving distance of the test vehicles with data from the
dynamometer experiment and the simulation model. |
