On Minimizing the Energy Consumption of an Electrical Vehicle

The electrical vehicle energy management problem can be expressed as an optimal control one. In this work, we discuss on a new formulation and about the way to approximate this optimal control problem of Bang-Bang type via a discretization technique associated with a Branch and Bound algorithm. The problem that we focuss on is to compute the minimal energy consumption of an electrical car achievable on a given driving cycle. Some numerical experiments validates our methodology.
