摘要

Efficient energy management in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is vital for extending driving range, maintaining battery health, and minimizing energy use. In this paper, we compared five deep reinforcement learning algorithms: Soft Actor–Critic (SAC), Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3), Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), and Advantage Actor Critic (A2C). A detailed powertrain and lithium-ion battery model were incorporated into a custom simulation environment, where each agent was trained and tested across urban, NEDC, WLTP, and aggressive driving cycles. The algorithms were evaluated for energy efficiency, state of charge regulation, convergence speed, and control smoothness. PPO and SAC achieve the best overall performance. TD3 and DDPG offer smooth deterministic control with moderate energy gains, while A2C is computationally fast but exhibits slower convergence and higher performance variability.
