Project description Supplements to strengthen cooperation in ICT R&D in an enlarged European UnionOptimal energy consumption and recovery for electric vehiclesA central goal of OpEneR is the investigation of an innovative and highly efficient overall energy manager that uses information from underlying subsystems to generate optimal driving and operation strategies. The strategies will vary from time optimised up to range maximised. An advanced and intuitive HMI display will encourage and support the driver to control an electric vehicle for optimal en-ergy efficiency, in a comfortable and safe way. Significantly improved vehicle range estima-tions will be computed, with the use of 3D digital map information. Furthermore, opti-mised vehicle deceleration profiles for best energy recuperation and safety will be investi-gated. An enhanced simulation tool chain will be built-up to allow both the virtual develop-ment and the validation of new OpEneR Tech-nologies, with respect to energy efficiency, enhanced HMI concepts and safety. Radar sensors and video cameras will be used to monitor vehicle surroundings, define smooth driving strategies, plan driving corridors, sup-port lane keeping, and to detect road signs and objects. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Today's Fully Electric Vehicles (FEV) have limited driving ranges. Customer surveys prove an adequately long and dependable driving range is more important than the cost of ownership. Therefore considerable efforts are being made to meet this challenge, e.g. higher capacity batteries and powertrain efficiencies.The OpEneR project (Optimal Energy consumption and Recovery) addresses this fundamental FEV weakness. OpEneR aims to unlock the FEV market by increasing the driving range, not by enhancing battery technologies, but by the development of an intelligent energy management and recovery system, integrating existing subsystems with on-board and off-board sensors. The objective is a new energy manager coordinating control strategies to maximise real world energy saving. The system provides advanced driver support based on a networked architecture comprising battery management, e machine, regenerative braking, satellite navigation, dashboard displays, whilst integration of the vehicle stability controller and environmental sensing care also for safety issues.OpEneR considers the dynamic boundary conditions for electric braking, i.e. traction limits, system temperatures, battery charge. The driver is assisted to maximise energy recovery, avoiding unnecessary disc braking. Driver support includes estimated braking distance, recuperation capability visualization and braking tips based on traffic flow / navigation data and predictive cooperative information, car-to-car (c2c) and car-to-infrastructure (c2i). This requires a new integrated approach where all available information is used to generate safe and efficient predictions.Currently little data is exchanged between the diverse subsystems and no overall HMI concept exists. OpEneR addresses these issues to maximise efficiency and recuperation to significantly extend FEV range.The final project goal is to demonstrate the benefits of OpEneR strategies with 2 fully operational FEV tested in real world conditions.
