Abstract:

During the driving of electric vehicles, the power battery continuously generates heat. Continuous high temperature will affect the battery life and the safety of the operation of electric vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an efficient and energy-saving cooling optimization strategy in order to improve the efficiency of the power battery. Based on the heat generation characteristics of battery and Newton's law of cooling, a concentrated mass heat model of the battery pack is established in this paper, and compared with the battery liquid cooling model set up in AMESim to verify the accuracy of the model. In view of the high nonlinearity and time varying of the battery thermal management system, an iterative dynamic programming (IDP) strategy of iterative approximation of optimal control in multidimensional search space is proposed in this paper. Through the co-simulation of Matlab-AMESim, it shows that the proposed IDP optimization strategy can rapidly cool the temperature of the battery pack with minimum energy consumption, and the coolant flow rate is stable, which verifies the high efficiency and energy saving of the optimization strategy.
