Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) provides a promising solution for clean energy-efficient engine technology which has not yet been utilized in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) engines. In this study, a variant of LTC engines, known as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), is utilized for operation in a series HEV configuration. An experimentally validated dynamic HCCI model is used to develop required engine torque-fuel consumption data. Given the importance of Energy Management Control (EMC) on HEV fuel economy, three different types of EMCs are designed and implemented. The EMC strategies incorporate three different control schemes including thermostatic Rule-Based Control (RBC), Dynamic Programming (DP), and Model Predictive Control (MPC). The simulation results are used to examine the fuel economy advantage of a series HEV with an integrated HCCI engine, compared to a conventional HEV with a modern Spark Ignition (SI) engine. The results show 12.6% improvement in fuel economy by using a HCCI engine in a HEV compared to a conventional HEV using a SI engine. In addition, the selection of EMC strategy is found to have a strong impact on vehicle fuel economy. EMC based on DP controller provides 15.3% fuel economy advantage over the RBC in a HEV with a HCCI engine.

The Impact

A power-split hybrid electric vehicle with a dual-planetary gearset is researched in this paper. Based on the lever analogy method of planetary gearsets, the power-split device is theoretically modeled, and the driveline simulation model is built by using vehicle modeling and simulation toolboxes in MATLAB. Six operation modes of the vehicle are discussed in detail, and the kinematic constraint behavior of power sources are analyzed. To verify the rationality of the modeling, a rule-based control strategy (RB) and an adaptive equivalent consumption minimization strategy (A-ECMS) are designed based on the finite state machine and MATLAB language respectively. In order to demonstrate the superiority of A-ECMS in fuel-saving and to explore the impact of different energy management strategies on emission, fuel economy and emission performance of the vehicle are simulated and analyzed under UDDS driving cycle. The simulation results of the two strategies are compared in the end, shows that the modeling is rational, and compared with RB strategy, A-ECMS ensures charge sustaining better, enables power sources to work in more efficient areas, and improves fuel economy by 8.65%, but significantly increases NOx emissions, which will be the focus of the next research work.

Abstract Fuel economy and emission standards for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles lead to emergence of hybrid powertrain mechanisms. Hybrid powertrains can enable significant fuel economy improvements without sacrificing vehicle performance or utility. This requires optimization of engine operation, regenerative braking, and use of a wide range of possible combinations of engine and battery usage. The multi-mode hybrid powertrain in this paper combines many options to meet a complex driving requirement while maintaining the desired fuel economy. In this paper, a systematic design methodology is used to design a full-size hybrid vehicle with multiple components. This involves the modeling, simulation and development of optimal energy management strategy. This vehicle (full size car) has dual battery, dual fuel V6 engine with cylinder deactivation and bi-directional power flow in and from dual motor/generator. The design includes multiple gearboxes to connect these pieces. The vehicle model allows many degrees of freedom including various modes of operation depending upon the combination of degree of driver involvement, vehicle power requirement and optimized fuel economy resulting in automatic switching between modes. This model is tested for different Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) driving cycles. By integrating all components of this hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and the highly coordinated energy management control system that performs optimum blending of torque, speed, and power from multiple power sources, the benefit from this hybridization is maximized.

The Impact

This paper proposes a combination method of longitudinal control and fuel management for an intelligent Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) fleet. This method can reduce the fuel consumption while maintaining the distance and speed for each vehicle in the fleet. An HEV system efficiency model was established to simulate the impact of different working modes. Based on the principle of optimal vehicle system efficiency, the energy management control strategy of HEV was designed. Then, the driver model of the piloting vehicle and the following vehicle was built by using an intelligent fuzzy control method. Finally, the intelligent fleet model and energy matching model of HEV were integrated with the simulation platform that was developed based on MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow. The validity of the energy matching strategy of HEV under the principle of optimal system efficiency was verified by simulation results, and the purpose of improving the driving safety, traffic efficiency, and fuel economy of the fleet was achieved. Comparing with the conventional control strategy, the proposed method saved 7.79% of fuel for the HEV fleet. Meanwhile, the distance ranges between the vehicles were from 12 meters to 15 meters, which improved the driving safety, passing rate, and fuel economy.

Real Time Optimization

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle provides remarkable results for emission reduction and fuel improvement in the current driving cycles. With the appropriate energy management strategy, the torque can be split by switching of multiple operation modes to improve fuel economy. However, in the process, not only the noticeable jerk or torque fluctuation, which may result in vibration of the drivetrain and unpleasant driving sensation, but also the frequent motor-start-engine process would be triggered, which is accompanied by extra fuel consumption and abrasion of the clutch. Therefore, high attention should be paid to reduce the excess operating times of the motor-start-engine process and take advantage of multiple operation modes to improve fuel economy in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. To solve this problem, a multi-objective real-time optimization energy management strategy is proposed. First, the motor-start-engine dynamic model of 2-degree-of-freedom is established. Then, the motor-start-engine process is analyzed based on a large number of real-world data, and the cost of the motor-start-engine process is quantified for optimization. What’s more, the optimal torque distribution is realized through the powertrain system. Finally, the proposed strategy is verified by the simulation and experiment platform. Results show that the proposed strategy can greatly improve fuel economy, thereby reducing the excess operating times of the motor-start-engine process.

The Impact

The currently existing energy management control optimization for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mainly focuses on fuel economy. Apart from this, there has been some consideration of the impact of emissions, but almost no attention has been paid to drivability performance. Therefore, from the point of view of multi-objectives optimization, the influences of fuel economy, emission and drivability performance on the energy management are comprehensively considered for a parallel HEV. The energy management control parameters and driveline parameters are selected to be optimized parameters. Then, the NSGA-II (Fast Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II) algorithm is proposed to solve the multi-objectives optimization problem. Furthermore, the multi-objectives optimization method for HEV energy management control is established and comparatively simulated with the parallel electric assist control strategy. The results show that the evaluation index of drivability decreases by 27.12% from the maximum and the average enhancement effect of optimization falls by 20.84%. The evaluation index of fuel economy declines by 22.30% from the maximum and the average index drops by 20.26%. The comprehensive index of emission performance descends by 11.33% from the maximum. The proposed multi-objectives optimization algorithm has good convergence and distribution, and obtains more Pareto optimal solution sets, which can provide more selectivity in building HEV energy management control strategies.
