Goal: Give our driver an optimal driving profile.
What do we need?
- Car Model
- Energy Generation
- Solar Energy
- Energy being absorbed by the solar cells
- Regen braking
- Energy Consumption
- Dynamics model
- Aero losses
- Elevation changes
- Friction
- Auxiliary stuff
- Motor losses
- LV losses
- Battery efficiency
- Environment Model
- Route
- Are we meteorologists?
- Or are we just creating scenarios
- Contingency planning
- State of Charge
- Bigly important
- Optimization
- Take car model + requirements + Course + meteo data => driving profile
- Timing (start + stop)
- Speed requirement
- Lights + Turns
- City driving
- Track driving
- Smoothing of drive profile
- Charging times
- Strategic stops
- Speed limits
- Stops & turns
- Traffic dumping
Overall strategy timeline:
Deadlines:
Track Day - Sunday
- How many kwh do we have in the pack?
- Measure it!
- What is the weight of the car? We know that!
- What is the rolling resistance of the tires?
- Get data
- Build an empirical model
- What are the aero losses?
- Get data
- Build an empirical model
- We need a working speedometer, anemometer, and measuring of speed vs time
- How much energy does the car lose being alive? Ask Taiping (hopefully he figures it out!)
- How much solar energy do we get?
- How much energy does the sun shine?
- How much of it do we pick up?
- When driving?
- With array normalization?
- Motor efficiency ???
- Battery loading efficiency??? Ask Micah Black
- SOC??? Karl????
