ADAPTING AN ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM THERMAL CONDITIONING SETPOINT BASED ON HISTORICAL USAGE
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an electrically powered vehicle having an energy storage system, the method comprising:
- monitoring vehicle operating conditions over time;
identifying historical vehicle operating trends from the monitored vehicle operating conditions; and
adjusting a default thermal conditioning temperature setpoint for the energy storage system to define an adjusted thermal conditioning temperature setpoint based on the identified historical vehicle operating trends to optimize performance of the energy storage system based upon the historical vehicle operating trends.

Abstract
A method of controlling a temperature of an energy storage system of an electric vehicle includes monitoring vehicle operating conditions over time, identifying historical vehicle operating trends from the monitored vehicle operating conditions, and adjusting a default thermal conditioning temperature setpoint for the energy storage system to define an adjusted thermal conditioning temperature setpoint. The default thermal conditioning temperature setpoint is adjusted based on the identified historical vehicle operating trends to optimize performance of the energy storage system for the historical vehicle operating trends. The energy storage system is heated and/or cooled to align an actual temperature of the energy storage system with the adjusted thermal conditioning temperature setpoint.

17. A vehicle comprising:
-
an energy storage system operable to store electrical energy; a thermal conditioning system coupled to the energy storage system and operable to heat and cool the energy storage system; a control module coupled to the thermal conditioning system and operable to control the thermal conditioning system, wherein the control module is configured for; monitoring vehicle operating conditions over time; identifying historical vehicle operating trends from the monitored vehicle operating conditions; adjusting a default thermal conditioning temperature setpoint for the energy storage system to define an adjusted thermal conditioning temperature setpoint based on the identified historical vehicle operating trends to optimize performance of the energy storage system based upon the historical vehicle operating trends; and thermally conditioning the energy storage system with the thermal conditioning system to align an actual temperature of the energy storage system with the adjusted thermal conditioning temperature setpoint. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
