Model-Based Methodology for Co-Design of Refrigerated Light-Duty e-Truck : EV Powertrain Co-Design based on Modular Energy Management Strategy

conference paper
Vehicle electrification offers opportunities for new system architectures, especially for non-conventional vehicles, and thus presents new challenges in terms of topology, component sizing, and control. Having the opportunity to automatically generate optimized control strategies brings major advantages in terms of development time and cost. The approach of Modular Energy Management Strategy (MEMS) is aimed at both exploring the powertrain design space, as well as automatically producing optimized control algorithms. This paper incorporates MEMS into a Co-Design optimization of a refrigerated light-duty e-truck. Results indicate a 5% gain in cost between the best and the worst performing optimized configurations. Additionally, the MEMS controller reduces the stress on the battery systems by peak-shaving its power during high-demand periods.
