A good charging strategy has an important impact on improving the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery. Here, this paper presents a comparative study on the cycle life and material structure stability of lithium-ion batteries, based on typical charging strategies currently applied in the market, such as constant current charging, constant current and constant voltage charging, multi-stage constant current charging, variable current intermittent charging, and pulse charging. Compared with the reference charging strategy, the charging capacity of multi-stage constant current charging reaches 88%. Moreover, the charging time is reduced by 69%, and the capacity retention rate after 500 cycles is 93.3%. Through CT, XRD, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy analysis, it is confirmed that the smaller the damage caused by this charging strategy to the overall structure of the battery and the layered structure and particle size of the positive electrode material, the higher the capacity retention rate is. This work facilitates the development of a better charging strategy for a lithium-ion battery from the perspective of material structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36310,"journal":{"name":"Automotive Innovation","volume":"5 4","pages":"427 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50104063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monitoring the type of RSC is essential for both transportation agencies and individual drivers. However, most existing methods are solely based on a dynamics-based method or an image-based method, which is susceptible to road excitation limitations and interference from the external environment. Therefore, this paper proposes a decision-level fusion identification framework of the RSC based on ego-vehicle trajectory reckoning to accurately obtain the type of RSC that the front wheels of the vehicle will experience. First, a road feature extraction model based on multi-task learning is conducted, which can simultaneously segment the drivable area and road cast shadow. Second, the optimized candidate regions of interest are classified with confidence levels by ShuffleNet. Considering environmental interference, candidate regions of interest regarded as virtual sensors are fused by improved Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to obtain the fusion results. Finally, the ego-vehicle trajectory reckoning module based on the kinematic bicycle model is added to the proposed fusion method to extract the RSC experienced by the front wheels. The performance of the entire framework is verified on a specific dataset with shadow and split curve roads. The results reveal that the proposed method can identify the RSC with accurate predictions in real time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36310,"journal":{"name":"Automotive Innovation","volume":"5 4","pages":"376 - 387"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42154-022-00196-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50050850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the power flows not only during propulsion through the transmissions, but also during recuperation, whereby efficiency improvements have a double effect. The investigation of transmission losses of electric vehicles thus plays a major role. In this paper, three simulation models of the Institute of Automotive Engineering (the lossmap-based simulation model, the modular simulation model, and the 3D simulation model) are presented. The lossmap-based simulation model calculates transmission losses for electric and hybrid transmissions, where three spur gear transmission concepts for battery electric vehicles are investigated. The transmission concepts include a single-speed transmission as a reference and two two-speed transmissions. Then, the transmission lossmaps are integrated into the modular simulation model (backward simulation) and in the 3D simulation model (forward simulation), which improves the simulation results. The modular simulation model calculates the optimal operation of the transmission concepts and the 3D simulation model represents the more realistic behavior of the transmission concepts. The different transmission concepts are investigated in Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Cycle and evaluated in terms of transmission losses as well as the total energy demand. The map-based simulation model allows the transmission losses to be broken down into the individual component losses, thus allowing transmission concepts to be examined and evaluated in terms of their efficiency in the early development stage to develop optimum powertrains for electric axle drives. By considering transmission losses in detail with a high degree of accuracy, less efficient concepts can be eliminated at an early development stage. As a result, only relevant concepts are built as prototypes, which reduces development costs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36310,"journal":{"name":"Automotive Innovation","volume":"5 4","pages":"388 - 399"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42154-022-00194-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50041527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore critical to accurately predict battery remaining capacity for increasing battery safety and prolonging battery life. This paper first adopts the metabolism grey algorithm and a simplified electrochemical model to predict battery capacity under different operating conditions. To improve the prediction performance where the capacity changes nonlinearly, a decoupling analysis of battery capacity loss is then conducted based on the simplified electrochemical model. Finally, an adaptive fitting method is developed for capacity prediction, aiming at improving the prediction accuracy at the inflection point of battery capacity diving. The prediction results indicate that the developed adaptive fitting method can achieve high prediction accuracy under battery capacity attenuation at different discharge stages with errors lower than 2.2%. And the battery capacity decay shows linear variation, and the proposed method effectively forecast the inflection point of battery capacity diving.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36310,"journal":{"name":"Automotive Innovation","volume":"5 4","pages":"359 - 375"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50039181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the Bernoulli random distribution process is employed to depict the phenomenon of package dropout, and the hybrid coefficient is proposed to realize the allocation between the adaptive trigger threshold strategy and the adaptive headway strategy.
