Thesis - Development of NMPC techniques for TEMS in...

Gothenburg

November 5, 2024

We are Zeekr Technology Europe. Powered by engineers and creative minds from all over the world. Located in Gothenburg, Sweden, one of the leading mobility innovation grounds worldwide. Established in 2013 as CEVT and began with the mission to create a revolutionary modular vehicle architecture, CMA. As of 2024, CEVT is now Zeekr Technology Europe, signaling our belonging within Zeekr. Delivering intelligent, sustainable, and user centric technology and software for tomorrow's electric mobility today.
Project Title: Development of Non-linear Model Predictive Control Techniques for Thermal Energy Management in Electric Vehicles under Cold Climate Conditions
Project Description:
The proposed thesis project focuses on the development and implementation of advanced Non-linear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) strategies for the Thermal Energy Management System (TEMS) in electric vehicles (EVs), specifically tailored for operation under cold climatic conditions.
The primary objectives are:
  • Plant Model tuning in GT-SUITE:
    Retune and calibrate the existing plant model of the TEMS in GT-SUITE to accurately simulate thermal dynamics and heat transfer processes in sub-zero temperatures.
  • Development of Advanced NMPC Methods:
    Investigate and implement state-of-the-art NMPC algorithms suitable for controlling non-linear, multivariable systems with constraints.
  • Stability and Robustness Analysis:
    Ensure the designed NMPC controller is both stable and robust under varying operating conditions and model uncertainties.
  • Simulation and Validation:
    Validate the performance and efficacy of the NMPC strategies through comprehensive simulations and testing:
    • MATLAB/Simulink Integration:
      Develop a co-simulation environment linking GT-SUITE and MATLAB/Simulink for dynamic analysis.
    • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing:
      Implement the NMPC algorithms on a real-time simulator or ECU to test controller performance under realistic conditions.
    • Performance Metrics Evaluation:
      Analyze key performance indicators such as thermal regulation accuracy, energy consumption, computational load, and response time.
  • Expected Outcomes:
    • A validated GT-SUITE plant model accurately representing EV thermal behavior in cold climates.
    • Implementation of advanced NMPC algorithms demonstrating improved thermal management and energy efficiency.
    • Detailed stability and robustness analysis reports with design recommendations.
Key focus areas:
  • Thermal System Modeling
  • Control Algorithm Development
  • Stability and Robustness
  • Simulation and Testing
Your skills and background
  • Master's student in Control Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline with a strong foundation in control theory and thermal systems.
  • Experience in GT-SUITE for thermal system modeling and simulation.
  • Experience with MATLAB/Simulink, including Control System and MPC Toolboxes.
  • Good understanding of non-linear control theory, numerical optimization, and computational algorithms.
