Existing research on parallel hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) mainly focuses on optimizing the component sizes and control strategies of the single-motor parallel hybrid electric powertrain (SMPHP), and less analyzes the influence of powertrain configuration on the performance of the vehicle. Therefore, the influence of the power coupling type and transmission type of the powertrain configuration on the fuel economy and drivability performance of parallel HEVs is studied in this paper. Considering three types of powertrain topologies (P2 torque-coupled, P2 dual-mode coupled and P3 torque-coupled) and two types of automatic transmissions (DCT and CVT), six typical types of SMPHP configurations to be discussed are determined. To obtain their optimal fuel economy and drivability performance, a multi-objective optimization and analysis method based on dynamic programming and multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the component sizes and control variables of powertrain configurations. Finally, the optimal performance and component size optimization results of six typical SMPHP configurations are analyzed and compared, and the influence of powertrain configuration on the performance and components sizing of the SMPHP is obtained, which contributes to the configuration design of the parallel hybrid electric powertrain.

Presence of an alternative energy source along with the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) appeals for optimal power split between them for minimum fuel consumption and maximum power utilization. Hence HEVs provide better fuel economy compared to ICE based vehicles/conventional vehicle. Energy management strategies are the algorithms that decide the power split between engine and motor in order to improve the fuel economy and optimize the performance of HEVs. This paper describes various energy management strategies available in the literature. A lot of research work has been conducted for energy optimization and the same is extended for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This paper concentrates on the battery powered hybrid vehicles. Numerous methods are introduced in the literature and based on these, several control strategies are proposed. These control strategies are summarized here in a coherent framework. This paper will serve as a ready reference for the researchers working in the area of energy optimization of hybrid vehicles.

Energy management strategies in parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) usually ignore effects of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) dynamics and rely on static maps for required engine torque-fuel efficiency data. It is uncertain how neglecting these dynamics can affect fuel economy of a parallel HEV. This paper addresses this shortcoming by investigating effects of some major Spark Ignition (SI) engine dynamics and clutch dynamics on torque split management in a parallel HEV. The control strategy is implemented on a HEV model with an experimentally validated, dynamic ICE model. Simulation results show that the ICE and clutch dynamics can degrade performance of the HEV control strategy during the transient periods of the vehicle operation by 8.7% for city and highway driving conditions in a combined common North American drive cycle. This fuel penalty is often overlooked in conventional HEV energy management strategies. A Model Predictive Control (MPC) of torque split is developed by incorporating effects of the studied influencing dynamics. Results show that the integrated energy management strategy can improve the total energy consumption of HEV by more than 6% for combined Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and Highway Fuel Economy Driving Schedule (HWFET)drive cycles.

Optimization-based methods are of interest for developing energy management strategies due to their high performance for hybrid electric vehicles. However, these methods are often complicated and may require strong computational efforts, which can prevent them from real-world applications. This paper proposes a novel real-time optimization-based torque distribution strategy for a parallel hybrid truck. The strategy aims to minimize the engine fuel consumption while ensuring battery charge-sustaining by using linear quadratic regulation in a closed-loop control scheme. Furthermore, by reformulating the problem, the obtained strategy does not require the information of the engine efficiency map like the previous works in literature. The obtained strategy is simple, straightforward, and therefore easy to be implemented in real-time platforms. The proposed method is evaluated via simulation by comparison to dynamic programming as a benchmark. Furthermore, the real-time ability of the proposed strategy is experimentally validated by using power hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
