Fuzzy torque distribution control for a parallel hybrid vehicle

A fuzzy torque distribution controller for energy management (and emission control) of a parallel hybrid electric vehicle is proposed. The proposed controller is implemented in terms of a hierarchical architecture which incorporates the mode of operation of the vehicle as well as empirical knowledge of energy flow in each mode. Moreover, the rule set for each mode of operation of the vehicle is designed in view of an overall energy management strategy that ranges from maximal emphasis on battery charge sustenance to complete reliance on the electrical power source. The proposed control system is evaluated via computational simulations under the FTP75 urban drive cycle. Simulation results reveal that the proposed fuzzy torque distribution strategy is effective over the entire operating range of the vehicle in terms of performance, fuel economy and emissions.     

Optimization management of hybrid energy source of fuel cell truck based on model predictive control using traffic light information

Energy optimization management can make fuel cell truck (FCT) power system more efficient, so as to improve vehicle fuel economy. When the structure of power source system and the torque distribution strategy are determined, the essence is to find the reasonable distribution of electric power between the fuel cell and other energy sources. The paper simulates the assistance of the intelligent transport system (ITS) and carries out the eco-velocity planning using the traffic signal light. On this basis, in order to further improve the energy efficiency of FCT, a model predictive control (MPC)-based energy source optimization management strategy is innovatively developed, which uses Dijkstra algorithm to achieve the minimization of equivalent hydrogen consumption. Under the scenarios of signalized intersections, based on the planned eco-velocity, the off-line simulation results show that the proposed MPC-based energy source management strategy (ESMS) can reduce hydrogen consumption of fuel cell up to 7\% compared with the existing rule-based ESMS. Finally, the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulation test is carried out to verify the effectiveness and real-time performance of the proposed MPC-based energy source optimization management strategy for the FCT based on eco-velocity planning with the assistance of traffic light information.     

Passivity-based control design for a grid-connected hybrid generation system integrated with the energy management strategy

Hybrid generation systems produce electric energy from a wide variety of energy sources, including renewable sources. A hybrid system based on renewable sources usually consists of two or more renewable energy sources with the possibility of including storage units so as to enhance the reliability of the system. The hybrid system requires an energy strategy that determines the operation point of each element of the system depending on multiple variables and subjected to the constraints inherent in this kind of systems. In addition, the system needs controllers to command each of these elements in order to reach the operation point established by the energy strategy. Here, we propose a control design via passivity-based control integrated with an energy management strategy for a hybrid generation system based on solar energy and coupled with the grid. The performance of the control methodology is extensively assessed through computer simulation using a comprehensive nonlinear model of the plant. The results show that the controlled system accomplishes the control tasks with good responses, working under very different atmospheric conditions and required load power.     

Operation mode control of a hybrid power system based on fuel cell/battery/ultracapacitor for an electric tramway

This paper focuses on describing a control strategy for a real tramway, in Zaragoza (Spain), whose current propulsion system is to be replaced by a hybrid system based on fuel cell (FC) as primary energy source and batteries and ultracapacitors (UCs) as secondary energy sources. Due to its slow dynamic response, the FC needs other energy sources support during the starts and accelerations, which are used as energy storage devices in order to harness the regenerative energy generated during brakings and decelerations. The proposed energy management system is based on an operation mode control, which generates the FC reference power, and cascade controls, which define the battery and UC reference powers in order to achieve a proper control of the DC bus voltage and states of charge (SOC) of battery and UC. The simulations, performed by using the real drive cycle of the tramway, show that the proposed hybrid system and energy management system are suitable for its application in this tramway.

Advanced chance-constrained predictive control for the efficient energy management of renewable power systems

This study presents a complete advanced control structure aimed at the optimal and most efficient energy management for a Grid-Connected Hybrid Power plant. This control scheme is composed of process supervision and process control layers, and it is a possible technology to enable improvements in the energy consumption of industrial systems subject to constraints and process demands. The proposed structure consists of the combination of a Model-Based Predictive Controller, formulated within the Chance Constraints framework to deal with stochastic disturbances (renewable sources, as solar irradiance), an optimal finite-state machine decision system and the use of disturbance estimation techniques for the prediction of renewable sources. The predictive controller uses feedforward compensation of estimated future disturbances, obtained by the use of Nonlinear Auto-Regressive Neural Networks with time delays. The proposed controller aims to perform the management of which energy system to use and to decide where to store energy between multiple storage options. This has to be done while always maximizing the use of renewable energy and optimizing energy generation due to contract rules (maintain maximal economic profit). The proposed method is applied to a case study of energy generation in a sugar cane power plant, with non-dispatchable renewable sources (such as photovoltaic and wind power generation), as well as dispatchable sources (as biomass and biogas). This hybrid power system is subject to operational constraints, as to produce steam in different pressures, sustain internal demands and, imperiously, produce and maintain an amount of electric power throughout each month, defined by strict contract rules with a local Distribution Network Operator (DNO). This paper aims to justify the use of this novel approach to optimal energy generation in hybrid microgrids through simulation, illustrating the performance improvement for different cases.     

Speed planning and energymanagement strategy of hybrid electric vehicles in a car-following scenario

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.

Model predictive control of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle system

This paper presents a model predictive control approach for the energy management problem of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle system. The model predictive control is suggested to optimally share the road load between the engine and the battery. By analyzing the configuration of the power-split hybrid electric vehicle system, we developed a simplified model for better implementation of model predictive control. The model predictive control problem is solved using numerical computation method: continuation and generalized minimum residual method. Computer simulation results showed that the fuel economy was better using the model predictive control approach than the ADVISOR rule-based approach in three cases. We conclude that the model predictive control approach is effective for the application of power-split hybrid electric vehicle systems energy management and has the potential for real-time implementation. The simplified modeling method of the power-split hybrid electric vehicle system configuration can be applied to other configurations of hybrid electric vehicle.     

Real‐time optimal energy management for a fuel cell/battery hybrid system

An energy management strategy is proposed for a class of fuel cell/battery hybrid systems. In such hybrid systems, a fuel cell system is the main power source, and a lithium‐ion battery is the auxiliary power source. In order to manage the system power at the next moment in a reasonable way, a load current filter with bounded estimation errors is designed to estimate the load current. Then, a real‐time optimal energy management algorithm is proposed to optimize economy consumption of the hybrid system. By taking current change rate of the fuel cell and the state of charge into consideration and taking reasonable model simplifications, the optimization problem can be described as a quadratic programming problem. Then a general purpose solver is proposed to solve the quadratic programming problem based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. The efficiency of the proposed solver is much faster than computing interior point method or active set method. Simulation results in MATLAB/SIMULINK are carried out to validate the significant effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed management strategy.

A stochastic method for the energy management in hybrid electric vehicles

There are many approaches addressing the problem of optimal energy management in hybrid electric vehicles; however, most of them optimise the control strategy for particular driving cycles. This paper takes into account that the driving cycle is not a priori known to obtain a near-optimal solution. The proposed method is based on analysing the power demands in a given receding horizon to estimate future driving conditions and minimise the fuel consumption while cancelling the expected battery energy consumption after a defined time horizon. Simulations show that the proposed method allows charge sustainability providing near-optimal results.     

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.

Real-time energy-efficient anticipative driving control of connected and automated hybrid 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.
