Furthermore, electric buses have lower life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than diesel buses, particularly when operated with sustainably produced electricity. However, the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system can consume a significant amount of energy, thus limiting the achievable driving range. In this paper, we address the HVAC system in an electric city bus by analyzing the trade-off between the energy consumption and the thermal comfort of the passengers. We do this by developing a dynamic thermal model for the bus, which we simplify by considering it to be in steady state. We introduce a method that is able to quickly optimize the steady-state HVAC system inputs for a large number of samples representative of a year-round operation. A comparison between the results from the steady-state optimization approach and a dynamic simulation reveals small deviations in both the HVAC system power demand and achieved thermal comfort. Thus, the approximation of the system performance with a steady-state model is justified. We present two case studies to demonstrate the practical relevance of the approach. First, we show how the method can be used to compare different HVAC system designs based on a year-round performance evaluation. Second, we show how the method can be used to extract setpoints for online controllers that achieve close-to-optimal performance without any predictive information. In conclusion, this study shows that a steady-state analysis of the HVAC systems of an electric city bus is a valuable approach to evaluate and optimize its performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":"154 ","pages":"Article 106158"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The core contribution of this work lies in the development and implementation of a novel NMPC algorithm tailored to platoon control. This framework integrates a penalty soft constraint to guarantee obstacle avoidance and maintain platoon coherence while optimising control inputs in real-time. Several experiments, including static and dynamic obstacle avoidance scenarios, validate the efficacy of the proposed approach. In all experiments, the vehicles closely follow one another, resulting in smooth trajectories for all system states and control input signals.

Contrary to previous works in the field, the NMPC algorithm is designed with an ellipsoidal terminal constraint, to enlarge the domain of attraction compared to the case in which a point terminal constraint was imposed. This is a very important aspect in real-world applications, allowing the robot to plan its motion from initial configurations that are relatively far from the goal point. Theoretical results are proved on recursive feasibility and closed-loop stability for both cases of NMPC with point and set terminal constraints, under the simplifying assumption of a static human.

The introduction of a parameter, named the trajectory smoothness coefficient, allows for a convenient trade-off between the priorities of speed and smoothness. The adaptive computation algorithm for peak jerk results in a constant average acceleration along paths of any length, ensuring a consistent level of work efficiency regardless of the density of path control points. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the critical constraints for each potential profile type, the single joint’s time-optimal and multiple joints’ time-synchronized planning problems are solved with closed-form solutions.
