Multimode hybrid powertrains have captured the attention of automotive OEMs for their flexible nature and ability to provide better and optimized efficiency levels. However, the presence of multiple actuators, with different efficiency and dynamic characteristics, increases the problem complexity for minimizing the overall power losses in each powertrain operating condition. The paper aims at providing a methodology to select the powertrain mode and set the reference torques and angular speeds for each actuator, based on the power-weighted efficiency concept. The power-weighted efficiency is formulated to normalize the efficiency contribution from each power source and to include the inertial properties of the powertrain components as well as the vehicle motion resistance forces. The approach, valid for a wide category of multimode powertrain architectures, is then applied to the specific case of a two-mode hybrid system where the engagement of one of the two clutches enables an Input Split or Compound Split operative mode. The simulation results obtained with the procedure prove to be promising in avoiding excessive accelerations, drift of powertrain components, and in managing the power flow for uphill and downhill vehicle conditions.

A study on plug-in hybrid electric recreational boat (PHERB) powertrain with a special energy management strategy modeling and analysis was presented in this paper. Firstly, the boat components are sized to meet the expected power and energy requirements through a power flow analysis. Then, the model is tested numerically in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment using the existing driving cycle. The accuracy of the model is verified by a comparison of the component between the simulation results from PHERB and advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR) software. The simulation results of component, fuel economy and emission of PHERB and hybrid electric vehicle models in ADVISOR are compared.

Energy management strategies are the key technology for hybrid electric UAVs. This paper proposes a fuzzy state machine (FSM) energy management strategy with an online potential to control the power flow for the hybrid electric UAV which includes the photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery power sources. The FSM strategy couples the fuzzy logical strategy with a state machine strategy where the fuzzy logical strategy controls the power split between a fuel cell and a battery and the state machine deals with the power flow of photovoltaics and battery. To evaluate the FSM strategy, a simulation platform integrating the hybrid power system model and UAV model is developed with a Matlab/Simulink tool. An existed online thermostat control strategy for the same type of UAV is employed to compare with the proposed strategy based on the developed platform. The energy management process and the state of each power source are analyzed under a given mission scenario. The comparison of the two strategies about the power and energy contribution rates of each power source, the battery state of charge, and the hydrogen consumption is presented. The results indicate that the FSM strategy can satisfy the demand power effectively during the mission and performs better than the thermostat control strategy on power distribution and fuel consumption.

With the continuous development of hybrid vehicle control technology, great progress has been made in the research of multi-power flow collaborative control. Due to the internal delay link of each power component, the role of energy storage element, and the limitation of electric power in the whole system, the inevitable delay characteristic of state transfer is caused. Therefore, the speed of multi-power flow control torque coordinated response of hybrid vehicles needs to be improved. The dual-mode power-split hybrid electric vehicle (DMPS-HEV) overall structure and working modes are analyzed, by adopting the combination of theory and experiment method. In order to solve the problem that the power components of dual-mode power-split hybrid electric vehicle cannot follow the optimal control command of the upper energy management strategy quickly due to the engine response delay, thus affecting the control effect of the upper energy management strategy. The research on torque coordination control strategy is carried out, the reference model of electromechanical composite drive is established, and the model reference adaptive coordination control strategy based on Lyapunov stability theory is proposed. The results show that the proposed model reference adaptive torque coordinated control strategy significantly improves the effect of engine response delay on the optimization effect of energy management strategy, and can achieve the control effect of the optimal control strategy of 93.58%. The test platform of the dual-mode power-split hybrid electric vehicle was built. The control system was built based on the rapid control prototype, and the data acquisition system was built based on the NI data acquisition module. The coordinated control strategy of the dual-mode power-split hybrid electric vehicle power system proposed in this paper was verified through the bench test to significantly improve the vehicle fuel economy and the real-time performance of the control strategy, which has a good practical value
