This paper presents an economic model predictive control (EMPC)-based strategy for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to improve the driving range of a battery electric vehicle (BEV). The energy consumption HVAC can be directly minimized through EMPC framework; however, complex nonlinear dynamics (e.g., vapor-compression cycle) hinders application EMPC. In addition, heater operation in BEV relies on power, cooperation increases complexity. To resolve such modeling...
