Abstract
A thermal management system for a vehicle includes a fluid transfer device including a power consumption unit configured to consume power for performing the heat pump function and includes a control unit configured to control the fluid transfer device based on an optimal control value.
Claims20
A thermal management system for a vehicle, the thermal management system comprising:
- a fluid transfer device configured to perform a heat pump function of exchanging heat with at least one vehicle part to selectively recover waste heat of the at least one vehicle part and discharging air into a vehicle interior to perform indoor heating, the fluid transfer device including a power consumption unit configured to consume power for performing the heat pump function;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the fluid transfer device based on an optimal control value derived using a control model for a predicted state value according to a current state value,
- wherein the optimal control value is a control value that allows the fluid transfer device to create a target discharge air temperature for indoor heating while consuming minimum power through the power consumption unit and satisfying a constraint for recovering the waste heat of the at least one vehicle part.
