Biography
Dr. Ziyou Song is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He received B.E. degree (with honours) and Ph.D. degree (with highest honours) in Automotive Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2011 and 2016, respectively. After graduation, he worked as a Research Scientist at Tsinghua University from 2016-2017. From 2017 to 2019, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he was also an Assistant Research Scientist/Lecturer from 2019 to 2020. Prior to joining NUS, he was a Battery Algorithm Engineer at Apple Inc., Cupertino, US, where he was in charge of battery management systems for Audio products (e.g., AirPods).
Presentation Abastract
This talk will revolve around electric vehicles (EVs).Specifically, this talk will focus on several urgent and key topics in EV research. Firstly, battery management systems (BMS) and eco-driving techniques are crucial for EVs due to their direct impact on battery performance, overall vehicle efficiency, and range optimization. Secondly, high temperatures will significantly accelerate battery degradation, and cooling a battery pack at high ambient temperature consumes substantial energy in EVs and can reduce the mileage of EVs by up to 50%, thereby remarkably increasing the range anxiety. Lastly, eco-driving techniques, such as smooth acceleration, anticipating traffic flow, and maximizing regenerative braking, minimize energy consumption, increase the driving range, and reduce the environmental impact of EVs. In this talk, some cutting-edge methodologies that can enable the eco-driving of individual EVs and mixed traffic flows (including both autonomous and human-driven vehicles) will be given.
