UNITED-SAIG WEBINAR
DEVELOPMENT OF LOAD SEGMENTATION STRATEGY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

ABSTRACT
Sustainable transportation has been widely explored as a result of fossil fuels depletion and pollution emissions released by conventional vehicles. Among the alternatives, hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles manage to reduce but incompletely remove the carbon impacts. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) instead, offer zero carbon footprint solution with outstanding drivetrain performance and energy efficiency, however they are confined by the driving range due to constraints in batteries capacity and volume. The increase in power requirement and number of electrical loads on-board, due to the transportation electrification has complicated the situation further. Primarily, the challenges in BEV having batteries as the only energy storage but multiple loads to be fulfilled lie in eliminating the ‘range anxiety’ by developing stringent control rules and management strategy that could further extend the driving range. In this sharing session, the design energy management system (EMS) for BEV, using Low Level Component Control (LLCC) via load segmentation strategy and High-Level Supervisor Control (HLSC) via energy distribution strategy for optimized driving will be discussed. Four auxiliary load segments have been modelled and ranked for prioritization task via energy distribution strategy algorithm, operated within three distribution regions of battery state-of-charge (SOC). The incorporation of load segmentation into EMS topology has significantly improved the organization of energy flow management between supply and load.
