Novel Energy Management Control Strategy for Improving Efficiency in Hybrid Powertrains

Energy management in electrified vehicles is critical and directly impacts the global operating efficiency, durability, driveability, safety of vehicle powertrain. Given multitude components these powertrains, complexity proper control significantly higher than conventional internal combustion engine (ICEV). Hence, several algorithms numerical methods have been developed implemented order to optimize operation hybrid powertrain while complying with required boundary conditions. In this work, a model-based method used for predicting set possible actions, choosing one minimizing associated costs. particular, energy technique present study equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS). The novelty work consists taking into account thermal state ICE optimization. This feature was by means an extensive experimental campaign at different coolant temperatures calibrate additional fuel due outside its optimum temperature. results showed significant gains both WLTC RDE cycles.
