| ABSTRACT |
|
The electrifi cation of vehicles has become a major focus in the automotive industry due to worldwide eff orts toward reducing
carbon emissions and achieving sustainable mobility. However, a signifi cant challenge in expanding electrifi ed vehicle
market is to address the issue of limited driving range, particularly in cold climates. Thus, a precise and reasonable model
that integrates both the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system and the battery thermal management system is
necessary to systematically analyze the system performance at early development stage. Motivated by this, we developed
an electric vehicle simulator that includes an integrated thermal management system and validated it by comparing with the
real experimental data, and we have demonstrated the reliability of the developed model. Using the model, we could apply
various control methods, e.g., PID, model predictive control, for tracking the reference cabin temperature under various
driving environments. Our fi ndings indicate that the simplifi ed control-oriented model can be a reliable tool for various
vehicle thermal control designs. We believe that this study can provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of
the thermal management system of electrifi ed vehicles. |
