In this paper, hybridizing a heavy vehicle is developed. A switcher locomotive is considered for hybridization. Due to their low operational speed, the switcher locomotives require much lower power when compared to other types of locomotives. Besides, switcher locomotives have higher loss of energy due to their frequent starting and stopping. Hybrid-powered transit vehicles are considered to be excellent replacements for ordinary transit vehicles, since hybrid powered vehicles are equipped with more than one traction power sources. Therefore, a switcher locomotive’s driving cycle is derived from the measured field data and used to calculate and design the hybrid vehicle’s components. A “fuzzy controller” is used to plan a suitable controller for the designed hybrid locomotive. Comparisons show a substantial decrease, both in the fuel consumption and the pollutions of the designed hybrid switcher locomotive versus the conventional diesel-electric locomotives.

Energy management strategies are critical for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to improve fuel economy. To solve the dual-mode HEV energy management problem combined with switching schedule and power distribution, a hierarchical control strategy is proposed in this paper. The mode planning controller is twofold. First, the mode schedule is obtained according to the mode switch map and driving condition, then a switch hunting suppression algorithm is proposed to flatten the mode schedule through eliminating unnecessary switch. The proposed algorithm can reduce switch frequency while fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged. The power distribution controller receives the mode schedule and optimizes power distribution between the engine and battery based on the Radau pseudospectral knotting method (RPKM). Simulations are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control strategy. For the mode planning controller, as the flattening threshold value increases, the fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged, however, the switch frequency decreases significantly. For the power distribution controller, the fuel consumption obtained by RPKM is 4.29% higher than that of DP, while the elapsed time is reduced by 92.53%.

This paper proposes an Adaptive Rule-Based Energy Management Strategy (ARBS EMS) for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The aim of the strategy is to facilitate the aftermarket hybridization of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. ARBS can be deployed online to optimize fuel consumption without any detailed knowledge of the engine efficiency map of the vehicle or the entire duty cycle. The proposed strategy improves upon the established Preliminary Rule-Based Strategy (PRBS), which has been adopted in commercial vehicles, by dynamically adjusting the regions of operations of the engine and the motor. It prevents the engine from operating in highly inefficient regions while reducing the total equivalent fuel consumption of the vehicle. Using an HEV model developed in Simulink®, both the proposed ARBS and the established PRBS strategies are compared over an extended duty cycle consisting of both urban and highway segments. The results show that ARBS can achieve high MPGe with different thresholds for the boundary between the motor region and the engine region. In contrast, PRBS can achieve high MPGe only if this boundary is carefully established from the engine efficiency map. This difference between the two strategies makes the ARBS particularly suitable for aftermarket hybridization where full knowledge of the engine efficiency map may not be available.

To improve the fuel efficiency and battery life-span of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the energy management strategy considering battery life decay is proposed. This strategy is optimized by genetic algorithm, aiming to reduce the fuel consumption and battery life decay of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Besides, to acquire better drive-cycle adaptability, driving patterns are recognized with probabilistic neural network. The standard driving cycles are divided into urban congestion cycle, highway cycle, and urban suburban cycle; the optimized energy management strategies in three representative driving cycles are established; meanwhile, a comprehensive test driving cycle is constructed to verify the proposed strategies. The results show that adopting the optimized control strategies, fuel consumption, and battery’s life decay drop by 1.9% and 3.2%, respectively. While using the drive-cycle recognition, the features of different driving cycles can be identified, and based on it, the vehicle can choose appropriate control strategy in different driving conditions. In the comprehensive test driving cycle, after recognizing driving cycles, fuel consumption and battery’s life decay drop by 8.6% and 0.3%, respectively.

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is integrated with the engine, the motor and the battery and so on. HEV has a significantly better fuel efficiency compared with conventional vehicles due to its multiple power sources. To evaluate fuel economy, HEV and its subsystem modeling methodologies were provided through the analysis of energy flow. The Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) was built based on the prototype. The ECMS implementation analytical formulation was developed. The equivalency factor, one for charging and the other for discharging, each of them was different during a driving cycle. In a certain drive, only a subset of them generates a trend close to zero, which indicates charge-sustainability.

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.

Power allocation plays an important and challenging role in fuel cell and supercapacitor hybrid electric vehicle because it influences the fuel economy significantly. We present a novel Q-learning strategy with deterministic rule for real-time hybrid electric vehicle energy management between the fuel cell and the supercapacitor. The Q-learning controller (agent) observes the state of charge of the supercapacitor, provides the energy split coefficient satisfying the power demand, and obtains the corresponding rewards of these actions. By processing the accumulated experience, the agent learns an optimal energy control policy by iterative learning and maintains the best Q-table with minimal fuel consumption. To enhance the adaptability to different driving cycles, the deterministic rule is utilized as a complement to the control policy so that the hybrid electric vehicle can achieve better real-time power allocation. Simulation experiments have been carried out using MATLAB and Advanced Vehicle Simulator, and the results prove that the proposed method minimizes the fuel consumption while ensuring less and current fluctuations of the fuel cell.

Range Anxiety

In recent days, the demand for petroleum and emission of pollutant gases continuously increase. This necessitates the electrification power train which replaces Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Despite pure electric vehicles or Battery Electric Vehicle (EV) reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, there are some major hurdles for EVs to overcome before they totally relieve ICE vehicles form transport sector such as range anxiety, battery storage, economic fall down due to automobile industries, etc. This necessitates Hybrid Electric vehicle (HEV) which combines two different power sources to propel the vehicle. One of the challenges in HEV is how to control the power coming from the two different sources such as battery and ICE. The prime goal of an Energy Management Strategy (EMS) is to manage energy flow such that fuel consumption and emissions are minimized without affecting the vehicle’s performance. In this paper, the different structures of power train and energy management strategies are analysed.
