Design and analysis of a novel power management approach, applied on a connected vehicle as V2V, V2B/I, and V2N

Abstract

Summary The communication technologies were evolving rapidly and making everything connected. Peoples, vehicles, and buildings become connected everywhere. Concentrating on the targets that vehicle can be connected with, the present paper exposes a new power management approach applicable for three kinds of connected vehicles. Vehicle to buildings or infrastructure, vehicle to network, and vehicle to vehicle are the three communication protocols between vehicle and external targets. The proposed approach is designed for implementing all of these three communication cases. It is based on the principle of vehicle data sharing. Each vehicle will share a package of data, which contain information related to the vehicle status and the road condition. This information will be collected in a database and used for managing the power inside these cars. This approach is built on two stages; the first one is related to vehicles' classification, and the second one is attached to the recommendation, and this is according to the car position and according to the communication protocol case. The first stage was resolved using the support vector classification method. The second stage was treated using the artificial intelligence principle, and the neural network was employed. So the optimal decision will be outputted. According to the vehicle communication method, the optimal decision will be identified inside the building, infrastructure, vehicle, or the cloud database. This will be related to the vehicle position using the old vehicle's data. So the obtained decission will be transferred to the coming vehicle, for optimizing its energy consumption method in the corresponding area. Different possibilities and situations were discussed in this approach. The power management methodology was verified and confirmed. For showing the efficiency of this approach, a comparison of the obtained results in relation to the battery state of charge and the consumed energy results will be done. Matlab simulink was used for doing the necessary tests.

A Novel Energy-Safe Algorithm for Enhancing the Battery Life for IoT Sensors’ Applications

“…In such applications as the road management of vehicles, facilitating the road traffic or minimizing crashes are important issues. For some vehicle energy management problems [11], the solution is based on the IoT sensors' equipment and how to manage the overall information. The efficiency of this solution depends on the battery IoT sensors' life, and by increasing their battery life, then the overall system function will be easier and more straightforward to be tuned when needed.…”

“…In addition, nonlinear stochastic programming is another way to model the operation of EVs in charging stations with the aim of minimizing charge‐discharge cycles of vehicle batteries involving the uncertainty of solar energy 23 . There are not only the connection of the vehicles to the grid, but also the power management approaches that examine the connections of the vehicles among themselves and to external targets 24 …”
