A Novel Big Data Modeling Method for Improving Driving Range Estimation of EVs

Abstract

In this paper, we address a big-data analysis method for estimating the driving range of an electric vehicle (EV), allowing drivers to overcome range anxiety. First, we present an estimating approach to project the life of battery pack for 1600 cycles (i.e., 8 years/160 000 km) based on the data collected from a cycle-life test. This approach has the merit of simplicity. In addition, it considers several critical issues that occur inside battery packs, such as the dependence of internal resistance and the state-of-health. Subsequently, we describe our work on driving pattern analysis of an EV, using a machine-learning approach, namely growing hierarchical self-organizing maps, to cluster the collected EV big data. This paper contains the analysis of energy consumption and driving range estimation for EVs, including powertrain simulation and driving behavior analysis. The experimental results, including both simulating battery degradation and analysis of driving behaviors, demonstrate a feasible solution for improving driving range estimation by the EV big data.INDEX TERMS Electric vehicle, battery modeling method, range estimation, EV big-data, data mining.

Big Data Optimization in Electric Power Systems: A Review

“…In power systems, data could be gathered from different sources such as renewables like solar and wind energies or other portions of energy technologies such as gas and fuel. In this regard, there are several applications of big data in energy domain that could be surveyed as renewables data use in biomass energy (Paro and Fadigas, 2011), marine energy (MacGillivray et al, 2014), (Wood et al, 2010), and wind energy (Billinton and Gao, 2008), (Kaldellis, 2002), energy consumption (Kung and Wang, 2015), or may consider energy demand response such as power demand (Liu et al (2013), and storage capacity (Goyena et al (2009), or could be analyzed as electric vehicles (EVs) (Jiang et al, 2016) such as driving pattern (Wu et al (2010), energy management (Su and Chow (2012), energy efficiency (Midlam-Mohler et al (2009), driving range (Rahimi-Eichi et al, 2015), (Lee and Wu, 2015), battery capacity (Shor, 1994), data quality (Zhang et al, 2015),…”

An Integrated Energy System Operating Scenarios Generator Based on Generative Adversarial Network

“…On the other hand, an explosion in the availability of data has been witnessed over the last decade. Massive amounts of data are now routinely collected in many industries [5][6][7][8]. Furthermore, a large amount of data is available in the energy industry: Transaction data from retailers, order patterns across supply chains from suppliers [6], global weather data [9], historical demand profiles [10], and (in some cases) real-time power consumption information [11,12].…”

Research on Estimation Method of Mileage Power Consumption for Electric Vehicles

“…At present, most of the research focuses on the electric vehicle's remaining mileage, that is, how far the electric vehicle can run, and less about the estimation of the power consumption between the beginning and the destination specified by the user. There are three main aspects of the estimation of the remaining driving mileage: vehicle's energy consumption [1][2][3], driving cycle identification [4][5][6][7] and driving cycle prediction [8][9][10]. The method from the perspective of vehicle energy consumption focuses on the influence of vehicle driving parameters on the mileage.…”
