This paper builds on our previous published works in which we had employed nonlinear model predictive control for the (sub)optimal power management of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). In addition to the battery’s state of charge, in this work we include the effect of inertial powertrain dynamics in the control-oriented model that are usually ignored because of their fast dynamics. We show how inclusion of the new state removes the need for a separate rule-based strategy for engine start/stop and can result in considerable improvement in the fuel economy as shown by closed-loop simulations over a high-fidelity power-split HEV model.

In this paper, the nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for the energy management of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has been studied to improve battery aging while maintaining the fuel economy at a reasonable level. A first principle battery model is built with simulation capacity of the battery aging features. The built battery model is integrated with an HEV model from autonomie software to investigate the vehicle and battery performance under control strategies. The NMPC has simplified battery models to predict the state of charge (SOC) change, the fuel consumption of the engine, and the battery aging index over the predicted horizon. The purpose of the NMPC is to find an optimized control sequence over the prediction horizon, which minimizes the designed cost function. The proposed control strategy is compared with that of an NMPC, which does not consider the battery aging. It is found that, with the optimized weighting factor selection, the NMPC with the consideration of battery aging has better battery aging performance and similar fuel economy performance comparing with the NMPC without the consideration of battery aging.

To fulfil future demand for energy and to control pollution, a power-split hybrid electric vehicle is a promising solution combining attributes of a conventional vehicle and an electric vehicle. Since energy is available from two subsystems i.e, engine and battery, there is the freedom to manage it optimally. In this work, model predictive control strategy, that has the constraint handling which makes it a better choice over other strategies for efficient energy management of hybrid electric vehicles. A detailed mathematical model of the power split configured hybrid electric vehicle is developed that encompasses the engine, planetary gear, motor/generator, inverter, and battery. An interior-point optimizer based-nonlinear model predictive control strategy is applied to the developed model by incorporation of operational constraints and cost function. The objective is to curtail fuel consumption while the battery’s state of charge should be maintained within predefined limits. The complete developed model was simulated in MATLAB for motor, generator, engine speed, and battery SoC. Computed specific fuel consumption from the proposed MPC during the NEDC and the HWFET cycles are 4.356liters/100km and 2.474 litres/100 km, respectively. These findings are validated by the rule-based strategy of ADVISOR 2003 that provides 4.900 litres/100 km and 3.600 litres/100 km over the NEDC and the HWFET cycles, respectively. This indicates that the proposed MPC shows 11.11 % and 31.26 % improvement in specific fuel consumption in the NEDC and HWFET drive cycles respectively.
