Abstract

Considering the problems of the low energy recovery efficiency and the short driving range of pure electric vehicles, a new electromechanical–hydraulic coupled power electric vehicle is proposed. First, we develop an electromechanical–hydraulic coupled power electric vehicle model and design an energy management strategy to match it. On this basis, an optimization strategy is proposed with the goal of improving the braking energy recovery efficiency and avoiding the impact of high-speed braking energy recovery on the hydraulic system. The energy recovery mode conversion is optimized for different vehicle speeds when braking. Finally, the proposed optimization strategy is verified by joint simulation. The results show that when the vehicle speed is higher than 10 m/s for energy recovery mode switching, the total recovery efficiency of the whole vehicle increases to 97.273% and the SOC of the power battery increases by 0.14%. This provides strong support for improving the driving range of electromechanical–hydraulic coupled power electric vehicles.
