    The existing electrochemical mechanism models of lithium-ion batteries do not consider the coupling relationship between heat generation and chemical reactions in the fast charging control process. As a result, the model cannot accurately describe the internal reaction and state of the battery. In order to further enhance the predictive ability of the model, it is necessary to couple the heat generation model on the basis of isothermal model. Therefore, a fast charging control model based on electrochemical-thermal coupling is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the parameters of electrochemical-thermal coupling model are classified, various parameter acquisition methods are analyzed, and accurate measurement and parameter identification are performed. The model is built, with its accuracy verified. The results show that the results of terminal voltage, cathode potential and temperature output from the model achieve high accuracy under different thermal conditions, meaning the model is suitable for fast charging simulation in a wide range of temperature. Meanwhile, sensitivity analysis is carried out on the reaction rate constant and ambient temperature parameters in the model. Then, a fast charging control simulation is conducted on the model with PID controller, the charging current is adjusted real-time according to the estimated cathode potential, achieving fast charging current simulation without lithium plating in a wide range of temperature. Finally, the results of model simulation and the comparative verification of constant-current charging indicate that the fast charging strategy proposed enables fast charging of the battery while avoiding the side reaction of lithium deposition.

    In view of the problem of a bit too large error of battery SOC estimation due to the existing SOC estimation method based on the battery model with constant parameters ignores the effects of working conditions and battery model parameters, a SOC joint-estimation method for lithium-ion batteries combining the forgetting factor least squares algorithm (FFRLS) and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The method utilizes the FFRLS algorithm to online identify the parameters of battery equivalent circuit model and correct the battery model in real-time first. Then, the EKF algorithm and real-time corrected battery model are used to estimate battery SOC. The experimental results show that the SOC estimation method proposed can effectively reduce the SOC estimation error caused by the variation of battery model parameters. In the experiments of pulse discharging test, pulse charging test and dynamic stress test, the final maximum errors of SOC estimation are 1.01%, 0.87% and 1.59%, respectively.

Finally, the proposed method has been verified by hardware in the loop test. The results show that the proposed adaptive fuzzy energy management strategy can reduce fuel consumption by 9.67% compared with CD-CS strategy and by 7.84% compared with fuzzy energy management strategy, which effectively improves the fuel economy for extended-range electric vehicles.

    It is increasingly important to study the collision safety of the battery system with the development and popularization of new energy vehicles. 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.

    In order to reduce the energy consumption and extend the driving range of battery electric vehicles, the cause of the poor efficiency of low-voltage electric system is systematically investigated for improving its energy management strategy. Firstly, the efficiency model of the low-voltage system, adapted to longtime fast operation is built by using forward simulation method,in which, the efficiency model of DC/DC converter consists of a first-order inertia loop and an efficiency-interpolation function, while the system control model covers two strategies for floating control and rule control. Then, test bench is constructed to measure the performances of the components and system with model parameters extracted. Finally, both simulation and test are conducted to study the influences of load power, converter efficiency, ambient temperature, battery types, and control strategies on system efficiency. The results show that the system efficiency will fall with the reduction of mean power, the reduction of converter efficiency and the increase of battery inner resistance, and will rise with the shortening of idle period, the improvement of control strategies and the change of battery types, and in light load condition, using rule control can enhance the efficiency of low-voltage electric system by 10%.
