Research on thermal management control strategies for new energy vehicles

To address challenges such as the lengthy development cycle, poor system stability, and safety concerns in the control strategy development for thermal management in new energy vehicles, a thermal management system control strategy was designed using model-building and code generation techniques within the Simulink/Stateflow modeling environment. A control testing platform was constructed utilizing the panel functionality of the TSMaster virtual instrument simulation platform. Hardware TC1016P was employed to interface with the vehicle communication network, facilitating testing in conjunction with a specific new energy vehicle thermal management controller and a thermal management system test bench. Subsequent real vehicle thermal management tests were conducted to validate the performance of the control strategy model. The results indicate that the control strategy code generated from the model is fully compatible with the thermal management system of the new energy vehicle and demonstrates satisfactory performance during road tests.
