This paper aims to study the time-varying configuration energy management strategy for hybrid distributed drive heavy vehicles based on real vehicle test data. Firstly, based on the real vehicle test data and by using the dynamic programming algorithm, the chassis configuration with optimal energy consumption is found, and the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is trained to complete the configuration optimization in three typical scenes. Then, the RULE_LSTM algorithm is proposed based on rule judgment. Its matching accuracy is 11.76% higher than that using LSTM network configuration with optimal energy consumption, and its frequency of configuration switching is reduced by 33.3%. Next, based on traffic flow the prediction on long-scale operating condition information is completed and the optimal chassis configuration matching and reference SOC trajectory generation are fulfilled. Based on radial basis function neural network, a short-scale operating condition prediction sequence is generated as the input of the subsequent algorithm. Finally, time-varying configuration is adopted to optimize the control variables, meanwhile the strong speed change rate constraint and SOC reference trajectory guidance are also introduced to implement the guided multi-APU predictive energy management strategy. The results show that with above-mentioned measures taken, the fuel consumption is reduced by 10.60%, 3.95%, and 2.06% respectively.
For the power split hybrid electric vehicle integrated with multi-clutch, the transient mode switching behavior and optimal dynamic coordinated control strategy from pure electric mode to hybrid driving mode involving the state collaboration of two clutches are studied. Based on the lever analogy and the matrix method, the dynamic models of the system at different switching stages are established. The feasibility analysis of the dual-clutch working sequence is conducted according to the engine start-stop control and transient mode switching requirements, and the mode switching logic is further formulated. On this basis, for the mode switching quality degradation caused by the collaboration slipping of the two clutches, the weighted sum of the vehicle longitudinal jerk, clutch friction work and mode switching time is taken as the optimization objective, and the simulated annealing algorithm is applied to optimize the slipping behavior of different clutch engagement and disengagement processes. In order to address the problem that the fixed engine speed adjustment strategy is difficult to adapt to the requirements of different acceleration conditions, the adaptive engine speed adjustment strategy in hybrid driving mode is constructed to realize adaptive torque regulation of motor MG1 according to the driving torque requirements under different conditions. Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test results show that the proposed optimal dynamic coordinated control can not only reduce the mode switching jerk of the power split HEV effectively for the dual clutch collaboration process, but also enables good working condition adaptability, which can ensure good transient mode switching quality under different acceleration conditions.
In order to study the dynamic characteristics of electric drive system of pure electric vehicle, considering spatio-temporal electromagnetic excitation and system structure flexibility, an electromechanical coupling dynamic model of integrated electric drive system suitable for variable speed conditions is proposed and verified by simulation. By means of dynamic analysis, the effect of motor torque fluctuation, gear error and housing flexibility on the dynamic characteristics of electric drive system is studied under steady-state and acceleration conditions. The study shows that the influence of motor torque fluctuation on the bearing force is not obvious under the steady-state condition, the gear error will significantly increase the amplitude of gear dynamic meshing torque and bearing reaction force, and the influence of housing flexibility on gear dynamic meshing torque is slight. Under the acceleration condition, the gear error is easy to stimulate the system high-frequency resonance, and the low-order resonance related to rotating frequency is also easy to be excited after coupling the housing.
The over-modulation method used in the drive motor controller of electric vehicle can increase the maximum output power of motor drive system, and enhance the capabilities of torque output and speed regulation in high-speed region. However, the traditional over-modulation method has the problem of voltage mutation in the over-modulation zone II, leading to a large jitter of the output torque of motor drive system and affecting the power and NVH performances of the vehicle. In view of this problem, a superposition-based variable-weight over-modulation method is proposed in this paper. The method eliminates the voltage mutation and hence reduces the total harmonic distortion by introducing the phase angle of the reference voltage into the calculation of the superposed weighting factor. The results of simulation and test show that this method can enhance the current stability in drive motor control, reduce the output torque jitter of the drive motor system, and enable the motor drive system of electric vehicle to output the maximum torque and maximum speed in the high-speed region.

A three-parameter fuzzy controller is constructed by introducing in acceleration to dynamically adjust the shifting speed, and the comprehensive shifting schedule is obtained. The results show that the comprehensive shift schedule can take into account the economy and power performance of the vehicle simultaneously, and reduce the shift frequency greatly compared with the economic shift schedule.

As a key part of the high voltage electrical system of new energy vehicle, it is particularly important to study its electrical safety performance under crash condition of the high voltage harness. Based on the typical extrusion load that the HV-cable of the battery system may suffer under the crash conditions, the harness with a diameter of 15.8 mm is selected to design the dynamic and static compression tests under two working conditions of the D5 cylindrical surface and V60 wedge surface. During the test, real-time monitoring of short circuit between the punch and the internal conductor of the harness is conducted, and the tensile and compression tests are carried out on the three component materials of sheath, insulation layer and conductor to calibrate the corresponding material model. Through the harness structure test and component material test, the one component homogenization model of HV-cable and the two-component model of conductor-equivalent insulation layer are calibrated respectively. The results show that there is a strong dynamic effect of HV-cable under mechanical load, and the dynamic mechanical response increases. The short circuit behavior of HV-cable is highly related to the external loading condition and loading speed. The simulation results of the two HV-cable simulation models using element deletion to predict the cable short circuit are basically consistent with the test results, and the two models can accurately predict the short circuit risk under extrusion condition.
