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.

Abstract This research focuses on the predictive energy management of connected human-driven hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) to improve their fuel efficiency while robustly satisfying system constraints. We propose a hierarchical control framework that effectively exploits long-term and short-term decision-making benefits by integrating real-time traffic data into the energy management strategy. A pseudospectral optimal controller with discounted cost is utilized at the high-level to find an approximate optimal solution for the entire driving cycle. At the low-level, a Long Short-Term Memory neural network is developed for higher quality driving cycle (velocity) predictions over the low-level's short horizons. Tube-based model predictive controller is then used at the low-level to ensure constraint satisfaction in the presence of driving cycle prediction errors. Simulation results over real-world driving cycles show an improvement in fuel economy for the proposed controller that is real-time applicable and robust to the driving cycle's uncertainty.

Improved fuel efficiency in hybrid electric vehicles requires a delicate balance between the internal combustion engine usage and battery energy, using a carefully designed energy management control algorithm. Numerous energy management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles have been proposed in literature, with many of these centered on the equivalent consumption minimisation strategy (ECMS) owing to its potential for online implementation. The key challenge with the equivalent consumption minimisation strategy lies in estimating or adapting the equivalence factor in real-time so that reasonable fuel savings are achieved without over-depleting the battery state of charge at the end of the defined driving cycle. To address the challenge, this paper proposes a novel state of charge feedback ECMS controller which simultaneously optimises and selects the adaption factors (proportional controller gain and initial equivalence factor) as single parameters which can be applied in real time, over any driving cycle. Unlike other existing state of charge feedback methods, this approach solves a conflicting multiple-objective optimisation control problem, thus ensuring that the obtained adaptation factors are optimised for robustness, charge sustenance and fuel reduction. The potential of the proposed approach was thoroughly explored over a number of legislative and real-world driving cycles with varying vehicle power requirements. The results showed that, whilst achieving fuel savings in the range of 8.40 −19.68% depending on the cycle, final battery state of charge can be optimally controlled to within ±5% of the target battery state of charge.
