Abstract

A system for controlling vehicle power using big data is provided. The system includes a big data server that receives vehicle driving related data, processes and analyzes the received data to generate a driving power pattern of the vehicle, and stores the driving power pattern. A vehicle controller determines whether to limit charging/discharging power of a battery based on continuous charging/discharging time or an accumulation amount of continuous charging/discharging power of the battery and calculates battery charging/discharging power to be limited based on the driving power pattern received from the big data server when the charging/discharging power of the battery is limited.

Claims (11)

1. A system for controlling vehicle power, comprising:

a server configured to receive vehicle driving related data generated in a vehicle, process and analyze the received data to generate a driving power pattern of the vehicle, and store the driving power pattern; and

a controller provided in the vehicle and configured to receive the driving power pattern from the server, determine whether to limit a charging power or a discharging power of a battery based on a time for which the battery is continuously charged or discharged or an accumulation amount of power obtained when the battery is continuously charged or discharged, calculate the charging power or discharging power to be limited based on the driving power pattern received from the server, and limit charging or discharging of the battery based on the calculated charging power or discharging power,

wherein the driving power pattern is a learning value determined according to the driving power pattern in the server.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server includes a first layer cloud server configured to directly receive the vehicle driving related data from the vehicle, and a second layer cloud server configured to receive the vehicle driving related data from the first layer cloud server, process the vehicle driving related data to generate the driving power pattern and store the driving power pattern.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to calculate the time for which the battery is continuously charged or discharged in response to determining that a measured charging power or discharging power of the battery is greater than a preset maximum available charging power or discharging power.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the preset maximum available charging power or discharging power is stored in the controller in the form of a data map based on state of charge of the battery and a surrounding temperature.

5. The system according to claim 3 , wherein, in response to determining that the time for which the battery is continuously charged or discharged is longer than a preset reference time, the controller is configured to calculate the charging power or discharging power to be limited based on the driving power pattern and the measured charging power or discharging power.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein, in response to determining that the time for which the battery is continuously charged or discharged is longer than the preset reference time, the controller is configured to calculate the charging power or discharging power to be limited by calculating a charging power or discharging power limiting rate that is a function of the measured charging power or discharging power, the driving power pattern and the time for which the battery is charged or discharged and multiplying the measured charging power or discharging power by the charging power or discharging power limiting rate.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to compare the accumulation amount of power obtained when the battery is continuously charged or discharged with a preset reference accumulation amount, and in response to determining that the accumulation amount of power is greater than the reference accumulation amount, divide the accumulation amount of power by the preset reference accumulation amount to calculate an accumulation amount excess rate.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein, in response to determining that the accumulation amount of power obtained when the battery is continuously charged or discharged is greater than the reference accumulation amount, the controller is configured to calculate the charging power or discharging power to be limited by calculating a charging power or discharging power limiting rate that is a function of the driving power pattern and the accumulation amount excess rate and multiplying the measured charging power or discharging power by the charging power or discharging power limiting rate.
