Extended range EVs (EREVs) use the on-board power generation function of range extenders to extend their driving range (Ji et al. Given the presence of two energy source systems in EREVs, how to reasonably distribute power between these sources to reduce fuel consumption has received much research attention ( Kalia.
What is the energy management strategy for extended range electric vehicles?
An energy management strategy for extended range electric vehicles is proposed. A joint simulation model is built in Cruise and Simulink. Multi-island genetic algorithm is adopted to optimize variables globally. Fuel economy of extended range electric vehicles is investigated.
Introduction Extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) automatically start and provide power to the battery when the onboard battery reaches the minimum critical limit set by the state of charge (SOC). EREVs have numerous advantages, such as high charging flexibility [1, 2], a long battery life [3, 4] and superior environmental performance [5, 6].
What is energy and thermal management in extended range electric vehicles?
There is a coupling relationship between energy and thermal management of extended range electric vehicle (EREV), so developing an integrated energy and thermal management strategy (IETMS) is an effective approach to reduce fuel consumption and battery degradation and further improve vehicle driving economy.
What is an extended range EV (Erev)?
Extended range EVs (EREVs) use the on-board power generation function of range extenders to extend their driving range (Ji et al., 2020, Song et al., 2016).
Are extended range electric vehicles a good solution?
Extended range electric vehicles (EREVs) are an effective solution to solve the lack of driving range of pure electric vehicles. Reducing the fuel consumption of EREVs and prolonging the service lifetime of battery play a positive role in solving environmental pollution and energy crisis.
Can range extenders recover energy?
Nowadays, researchers focus on range extender optimization since range extenders significantly improve the range of the vehicle with an auxiliary power unit (APU), which can prove consumer satisfaction. However, range extenders can recover energy by proposing the various configurations and systems of extended-range electric vehicles (EREV).
