Abstract

The object of this study is to develop an cooling control algorithm for electronics devices of the electric vehicle. In order to estimate the existing cooling control logic of the electronic devices for the small and medium sized electric vehicle, the experiments on the coolant temperature variation of the cooling system were conducted under 4 different seasons conditions. As a result, the existing cooling control logic were overcooled when it was compared with the reference temperature for a required cooling load. In addition, the newly developed optimum cooling control logic for improving the mileages of the tested electric vehicle with consideration of the ambient temperature, vehicle speed, and refrigerant temperature of the air conditioning on/off is necessary.

본 연구의 목적은 전기자동차용 고발열 전자장비를 최적으로 냉각 제어하는 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 준중형급 전기자동차의 전자장비 냉각시스템의 계절 부하별 냉각수온도 변화를 실험적으로 고찰하여 시험용 전기자동차 냉각 제어 로직의 타당성 분석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 기존 전기자동차의 전자장비 냉각시스템은 필요 냉각부하인 기준온도와 비교하여 과도하게 구동되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 전기자동차의 연비 향상을 위하여 외기온도, 차량속도, 냉매온도 등을 고려한 최적 냉각 제어 알고리즘이 필요하다.
