Hardware-in-the-loop simulation for the design and verification of the control system of a series–parallel hybrid electric city-bus

Hybrid electric buses have been a promising technology to dramatically lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission, while energy management strategy (EMS) is a critical technology to the improvements in fuel economy for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). In this paper, a suboptimal EMS is developed for the real-time control of a series–parallel hybrid electric bus. It is then investigated and verified in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation system constructed on PT-LABCAR, a commercial real-time simulator. First, an optimal EMS is obtained via iterative dynamic programming (IDP) by defining a cost function over a specific drive cycle to minimize fuel consumption, as well as to achieve zero battery state-of-charge (SOC) change and to avoid frequent clutch operation. The IDP method can lower the computational burden and improve the accuracy. Second, the suboptimal EMS for real-time control is developed by constructing an Elman neural network (NN) based on the aforementioned optimal EMS, so the real-time suboptimal EMS can be used in the vehicle control unit (VCU) of the hybrid bus. The real VCU is investigated and verified utilizing a HIL simulator in a virtual forward-facing HEV environment consisting of vehicle, driver and driving environment. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed real-time suboptimal EMS by the neural network can coordinate the overall hybrid powertrain of the hybrid bus to optimize fuel economy over different drive cycles, and the given drive cycles can be tracked while sustaining the battery SOC level.     

Least costly energy management for series hybrid electric vehicles

Energy management of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) has different challenges from non-plug-in HEVs, due to bigger batteries and grid recharging. Instead of tackling it to pursue energetic efficiency, an approach minimizing the driving cost incurred by the user – the combined costs of fuel, grid energy and battery degradation – is here proposed. A real-time approximation of the resulting optimal policy is then provided, as well as some analytic insight into its dependence on the system parameters. The advantages of the proposed formulation and the effectiveness of the real-time strategy are shown by means of a thorough simulation campaign.     

Real-time energy management strategy based on predictive cruise control for hybrid electric vehicles

With the help of traffic information of the connected environment, an energy management strategy (EMS) is proposed based on preceding vehicle speed prediction, host vehicle speed planning, and dynamic programming (DP) with PI correction to improve the fuel economy of connected hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). A conditional linear Gaussian (CLG) model for estimating the future speed of the preceding vehicle is established and trained by utilizing historical data. Based on the predicted information of the preceding vehicle and traffic light status, the speed curve of the host vehicle can ensure that the vehicle follows safety and complies with traffic rules simultaneously as planned. The real-time power allocation is composed of offline optimization results of DP and the real-time PI correction items according to the actual operation of the engine. The effectiveness of the control strategy is verified by the simulation system of HEVs in the interconnected environment established by E-COSM 2021 on the MATLAB/Simulink and CarMaker platforms.

Control strategies for high-power electric vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cell,battery and supercapacitor

Problems relating to oil supply, pollution, and green house effects justify the need for developing of new technologies for transportation as a replacement for the actual technology based on internal combustion engines (ICE). Fuel cells (FCs) are seen as the best future replacement for ICE in transportation applications because they operate more efficiently and with lower emissions. This paper presents a comparative study performed in order to select the most suitable control strategy for high-power electric vehicles powered by FC, battery and supercapacitor (SC), in which each energy source uses a DC/DC converter to control the source power and adapt the output voltage to the common DC bus voltage, from where the vehicle loads are supplied.Five different controls are described for this kind of hybrid vehicles: a basic control based on three operation modes of the hybrid vehicle depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery (operation mode control); a control strategy based on control loops connected in cascade, whose aim is to control the battery and SC SOC (cascade control); a control based on the technique of equivalent fuel consumption, called equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS); and two based on control techniques very used nowadays, the first one of them is a fuzzy logic control and the second one is a predictive control. These control strategies are tested and compared by applying them to a real urban street railway. The simulation results reflect the optimal performance of the presented control strategies and allow selecting the best option for being used in this type of high-power electric vehicles.

In this paper, we propose a real-time energy-efficient anticipative driving control strategy for connected and automated hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Considering the inherent complexities brought about by the velocity profile optimization and energy management control, a hierarchical control architecture in the model predictive control (MPC) framework is developed for real-time implementation. In the higher level controller, a novel velocity optimization problem is proposed to realize safe and energy-efficient anticipative driving. The real-time control actions are derived through a computationally efficient algorithm. In the lower level controller, an explicit solution of the optimal torque split ratio and gear shift schedule is introduced for following the optimal velocity profile obtained from the higher level controller. The comparative simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can achieve approximately 13% fuel consumption saving compared with a benchmark strategy.

The development of intelligent connected technology has brought opportunities and challenges to the design of energy management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles. First, to achieve car-following in a connected environment while reducing vehicle fuel consumption, a power split hybrid electric vehicle was used as the research object, and a mathematical model including engine, motor, generator, battery and vehicle longitudinal dynamics is established. Second, with the goal of vehicle energy saving, a layered optimization framework for hybrid electric vehicles in a networked environment is proposed. The speed planning problem is established in the upper-level controller, and the optimized speed of the vehicle is obtained and input to the lower-level controller. Furthermore, after the lower-level controller reaches the optimized speed, it distributes the torque among the energy sources of the hybrid electric vehicle based on the equivalent consumption minimum strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed layered control framework can achieve good car-following performance and obtain good fuel economy.

Predictive planning of optimal velocity and state of charge trajectories for hybrid electric vehicles

The combination of electric motors and internal combustion engines in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) can considerably improve the fuel efficiency compared to conventional vehicles. In order to use its full potential, a predictive intelligent control system using information about impending driving situations has to be developed, to determine the optimal gear shifting strategy and the torque split between the combustion engine and the electric motor. To further increase fuel efficiency, the vehicle velocity can be used as an additional degree of freedom and the development of a predictive algorithm calculating good choices for all degrees of freedom over time is necessary.In this paper, an optimization-based algorithm for combined energy management and economic driving over a limited horizon is proposed. The results are compared with results from an offline calculation, which determine the overall fuel savings potential through the use of a discrete dynamic programming algorithm.     

Two-stage on-board optimization of merging velocity planning with energy management for HEVs

This paper proposes a two-stage hierarchy control system with model predictive control (MPC) for connected parallel HEVs with available traffic information. In the first stage, a coordination of on-ramp merging problem using MPC is presented to optimize the merging point and trajectory for cooperative merging. After formulating the merging problem into a nonlinear optimization problem, a continuous/GMRES method is used to generate the real-time vehicle acceleration for two considered HEVs running on main road and merging road, respectively. The real-time acceleration action is used to calculate the torque demand for the dynamic system of the second stage. In the second stage, an energy management strategy (EMS) for powertrain control that optimizes the torque-split and gear ratio simultaneously is composed to improve fuel efficiency. The formulated nonlinear optimization problem is solved by sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method under the same receding horizon. The simulation results demonstrate that the vehicles can merge cooperatively and smoothly with a reasonable torque distribution and gear shift schedule.     

Design of genetic-fuzzy control strategy for parallel hybrid electric vehicles

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) generate the power required to drive the vehicle via a combination of internal combustion engines and electric generators. To make HEVs as efficient as possible, proper management of the different energy elements is essential. This task is performed using the HEV control strategy. The HEV control strategy is the algorithm according to which energy is produced, used and saved. This paper describes a genetic-fuzzy control strategy for parallel HEVs. The genetic-fuzzy control strategy is a fuzzy logic controller that is tuned by a genetic algorithm. The objective is to minimize fuel consumption and emissions, while enhancing or maintaining the driving performance characteristics of the vehicle. The tuning process is performed over three different driving cycles including NEDC, FTP and TEH-CAR. Results from the computer simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in reducing fuel consumption and emissions without sacrificing vehicle performance.     

Design, implementation, and experimental validation of optimal power split control for hybrid electric trucks

Hybrid electric vehicles require an algorithm that controls the power split between the internal combustion engine and electric machine(s), and the opening and closing of the clutch. Optimal control theory is applied to derive a methodology for a real-time optimal-control-based power split algorithm. The presented strategy is adaptive for vehicle mass and road elevation, and is implemented on a standard Electronic Control Unit of a parallel hybrid electric truck. The implemented strategy is experimentally validated on a chassis dynamo meter. The fuel consumption is measured on 12 different trajectories and compared with a heuristic and a non-hybrid strategy. The optimal control strategy has a fuel consumption lower (up to 3%) than the heuristic strategy on all trajectories that are evaluated, except one. Compared to the non-hybrid strategy the fuel consumption reduction ranged from 7% to 16%.
