Decision-making is a crucial and difficult step in the design process of complex systems such as the hybrid powertrain. Finding an optimal solution requires the system feedback. This can be, depending on the granularity of the models at the component level, highly time-consuming. This is even more true when the system’s performance is determined by its control. In fact, various possibilities can be selected to deliver the required torque to the wheels during a driving cycle. In this work, two different design strategies are proposed to minimize the fuel consumption and the cost of the hybrid powertrain. Both strategies adopt the iterative framework which allows for the separation of the powertrain design problem and its control while leading to system optimality. The first approach is based on model reduction, while the second approach relies on improved cycle reduction techniques. They are then applied to a parallel hybrid vehicle case study, leading to important cost reduction in reasonable delays and are compared using different metrics.

Hybrid tracked vehicles are common in construction, agriculture, and military applications. Most use a series hybrid powertrain with large motors and operate at a relatively low efficiency. Although some researchers have proposed power-split powertrains, most of these would require an additional mechanism to achieve skid steering. To solve this problem and enhance drivability, a single-mode power-split hybrid powertrain for tracked vehicles with two outputs connected to the left and right tracks is proposed. The powertrain with three planetary gears (PGs) would then be able to control the torque on the two tracks independently and achieve skid steering. This powertrain has three degrees-of-freedom (DOF), allowing for control of the output torques and the engine speed independently from the vehicle running speed. All design candidates with three PGs are exhaustively searched by analyzing the dynamic characteristics and control to obtain the optimal design. Efficient topology design selection with parameter sizing and component sizing is accomplished using the enhanced progressive iteration approach to achieve better fuel economy using downsized components.
