A parallel hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is used to investigate the fuel economy effect of the equivalent fuel consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) with the equivalent factor as the core, where the equivalent factor is the conversion coefficient between fuel thermal energy and electric energy. In the conventional ECMS strategy, the battery cannot continue to discharge when the state of charge (SOC) is lower than the target value. At this time, the motor mainly works in the battery charging mode, making it difficult to adjust the engine operating point to the high-efficiency zone during the acceleration process. To address this problem, a relationship model of the battery SOC, vehicle acceleration a, and equivalent factor S was established. When the battery SOC is lower than the target value and the vehicle demand torque is high, which makes the engine operating point deviate from the high-efficiency zone, the time that the motor spends in the power generation mode during the driving process is reduced. This enables the motor to drive the vehicle at the appropriate time to reduce the engine output torque, and helps the engine operate in the high-efficiency zone. The correction function under US06 condition was optimized by genetic algorithm (GA). The best equivalent factor MAP was obtained with acceleration a and battery SOC as independent variables, and the improved global optimal equivalent factor of ECMS was established and simulated offline. Simulation results show that compared with conventional ECMS, the battery still has positive power output even when the SOC is less than the target value. The SOC is close to the target value after the cycle condition, and fuel economy improved by 1.88%; compared with the rule-based energy management control strategies, fuel economy improved by 10.17%. These results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed energy management strategy.

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.

In this paper we present a novel adaptation method for the Adaptive Equivalent fuel Consumption Minimization Strategy (A-ECMS). The approach is based on Driving Pattern Recognition (DPR). The Equivalent (fuel) Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) method provides real-time suboptimal energy management decisions by minimizing the "equivalent" fuel consumption of a hybrid-electric vehicle. The equivalent fuel consumption is a combination of the actual fuel consumption and electrical energy use, and an equivalence factor is used to convert electrical power used into an equivalent chemical fuel quantity. In this research, a driving pattern recognition method is used to obtain better estimation of the equivalence factor under different driving conditions. A time window of past driving conditions is analyzed periodically and recognized as one of the Representative Driving Patterns (RDPs). Periodically updating the control parameter according to the driving conditions yields more precise estimation of the equivalent fuel consumption cost, thus providing better fuel economy. Besides minimizing the instantaneous equivalent fuel consumption, the battery State of Charge (SOC) management is also maintained by using a PI controller to keep the SOC around a nominal value. The primary improvement of the proposed A-ECMS over other algorithms with similar objectives is that it does not require the knowledge of future driving cycles and has a low computational burden. Results obtained in this research show that the driving conditions can be successfully recognized and good performance can be achieved in various driving conditions while sustaining battery SOC within desired limits.
