Chadchai Srisurangkul National Metal and Materials Technology Center, 114 Thailand Science Park, Phahonyothin Rd. Klong 1, Klong Luang, Pathumthani 12120 Thailand *Cor esponding Author: Tel: +66 2 564 6500 ext. 4731, Fax: +66 2 564 6332, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract

Vehicle electrification become and continues to be the major trend in the automotive industry and a main part of this is batteries. Unfortunately the battery testing presently does not represent the real-
world condition, in which the bat ery load profile comprises complex charge-discharge wave. Therefore in
this study, the load profile of bat eries for electric vehicles was investigated. An integrated simulation and
testing approach is used to predict the bat ery load. In simulation the bat ery load profile is calculated
based on the utilization of vehicle and battery model. The present vehicle and bat ery model are
developed using a vehicle dynamics technique and equivalent circuit modeling technique respectively,
whereas the model development is focused on a specific vehicle which converts conventional propulsion
into pure electric propulsion. The results are demonstrated through the current profile of advanced
bat eries subjected to standard driving cycles. With this approach, the battery loads correspond to actual
driving condition or any driving cycle can be predicted and can be used for bat ery testing. This creates a
new aspect to evaluate advanced bat eries for power train application.

3.1. Battery Model
A bat ery model calculates the bat ery variables like current, voltage, and the battery temperature. The bat ery is modeled as an equivalent circuit with a bat ery internal resistance, as shown in Fig. 4. The model uses Fig. 2 Electric vehicle configuration data from experiment described in the next Vehicle system models typically contain a mix of empirical data, engineering assumptions, and physical based parameter and algorithms. Driven by the need for fast simulation times, complex components such as motor are typically simulated using empirical data in form of lookup maps. For example, the electric motor is modeled using an efficiency map handled as a 2-D lookup table indexed by Fig. 4 Bat ery Model rotor speed and torque. This map is generally The model consists of voltage source obtained via experiments.

In practice the heat dissipation case which has low thermal conductivity. During is best estimated from values of the current and the test the bat ery was placed in a temperature- voltage [7], according to control cabinet. The test cycles is shown in Fig. where V is the instantaneous cell potential, Voc is the open-circuit voltage. The heat dissipation is conducted from the internal bat ery to the bat ery case and then convected from the case's surface to the air. 3.2. Experiment Setup

UDDS, response during pause period is shown in Fig. 8. NYCC and CSC cycles are three examples of transient driving cycle used to define the bat ery load profile. They were chosen because they are based upon real-world driving and content a high portion of with non-aggressive urban and suburban routes that are suitable for electric vehicles. UDDS cycle describes an urban route with cold start and transient phase, NYCC cycle represents an urban route through New York Fig. 8 Example of the voltage response and CSC cycle describes a city suburban route with lower average speed than UDDS cycle. Fig. 1, V2, and V3 in Fig. 8 are easily measured. Both the resistance and the open-circuit voltage 10 shows UDDS cycle as an example. (OCV) are assumed to be constant over the pulse period. Voltage dif erent at the beginning of the pulse is also assumed at the end of the pulse. The internal resistance after analysis the test data is shown in Fig. 9. For other methods for resistance estimation can be found in [11]. Fig. 10 An example UDDS cycle A bat ery load profile used by the vehicle can be determined by using one of these driving cycles as an input to the simulation. The load profile results are shown in Fig. 11-13. The simulation was set up with a full battery and a temperature of 25°C. Deep of Discharge, DoD (%) Fig. 9 Internal resistance in case of discharge The Second TSME International Conference on Mechanical Engineering 19-21 October, 2011, Krabi the vehicle dynamic simulation must be filtered while still maintaining the typical load characteristic. The filter model with filter and stair-step function was developed for this purpose. It performs an online analysis to meet the requirement of hardware in the loop simulation in the future. Fig. 14 shows a close up view of a portion of the filtered and unfiltered Fig. 11 Battery load profile, UDDS load profile for UDDS cycle. Fig. 14 Unfiltered and filtered battery load profile Fig. 12 Bat ery load profile, NYCC The peak current of unfiltered and filtered profile are 95.06 A and 96 A, while the average current are 18.85 A and 18.64 A respectively. This guarantees correctness and stability of the filter model.

In the practice the high dynamic load cannot use directly due to the limited capability of bat ery testing machines. To enable the use of widely available battery testing machines the minimum sampling period of load profile for input to the testing machine should be 2 seconds and the profile should be rectangular wave. To meet Filtered battery current (A) these requirements the battery load profile from Fig. 15 Load distribution of UDDS cycle The Second TSME International Conference on Mechanical Engineering 19-21 October, 2011, Krabi been done to provide input parameters for the The vehicle dynamic model and the bat ery model are a core of this vehicle system simulation. In the vehicle dynamic model only the longitudinal dynamic is sufficient to investigate the battery load profile, while an equivalent circuit with an internal resistance is considered in the bat ery model. Filtered battery current (A) The experiment has been conducted to Fig. 16 Load distribution of NYCC cycle get the bat ery properties. The test methodology relies on the current pulse relaxation technique to determine the battery characteristics. Accordingly, using this methodology, the bat ery load profile correspond to actual driving condition or any driving cycle can be predicted and can be used for bat ery testing. This creates a new aspect to evaluate advanced batteries for power train application. 6. References
