Abstract

In order to tackle the increasingly severe energy crisis, improving the efficiency of the powertrain system in battery electric vehicles has become an effective approach. Based on a 6 × 4 battery electric tractor truck (BETT), the paper focuses on enhancing the dynamic and economic performance of vehicles through advancements in configuration, control strategies, and parameter design. Firstly, a novel multi-motor torque coupling powertrain system based on the parallel-axle transmission is proposed and modeled. Then, an instantaneous minimum energy consumption control strategy for the economic performance simulation and an instantaneous maximum acceleration control strategy for the dynamic performance simulation are designed. Furthermore, a conventional heuristic single-objective optimization algorithm, artificial rabbit optimization (ARO), is improved into a multi-objectives version, non-dominated sorting artificial rabbit multi-objective optimization (NSARMO), by combining the fast non-dominated sorting (FNS) and modifying the calculation method of the energy factor. Finally, an optimization framework consisting of a control layer, model layer, and optimization layer is established and applied to the parameter optimization of the proposed powertrain system. Simulation results demonstrate that the optimization results of the proposed method are superior to those optimized by commonly used non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and NSARMO without the modified energy factor, achieving a better balance between dynamic performance and economic performance. Moreover, the proposed method exhibits demonstrates 40.67% and 24.67% improvement in its ability to search for optimal Pareto solutions compared to NSARMO (-)(- means the calculation method of energy factor is not modified) and NSGA-II. At last, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiment bench is established, and the experiment results indicate that a scheme optimized by the proposed NSARMO exhibits only an approximate performance in energy consumption in the HIL environment compared to the simulation environment, which signifies the effectiveness of control strategy equipped with the optimization results optimized by the proposed method.
