A heavy-duty parallel hybrid electric truck is modeled, and its optimal energy control is studied in this paper. The fundamental architecture of the parallel hybrid electric truck is modeled feed-forwardly, together with necessary dynamic features of subsystem or components. Dynamic programming (DP) technique is adopted to find the optimal control strategy including the gear-shifting sequence and the power split between the engine and the motor subject to a battery SOC-sustaining constraint. Improved control rules are extracted from the DP-based control solution, forming near-optimal control strategies. Simulation results demonstrate that a significant improvement on the fuel economy can be achieved in the heavy-duty vehicle cycle from the natural driving statistics.

The 48V hybrid system has mostly adopted parallel hybrid system architecture. In the parallel hybrid system, various architecture can be derived depending on the location of the motor. In this paper, we explored a hybrid system architecture considering one or two motors and 48V electric supercharger and derived the optimal architecture by comparing the performance of each architecture. Performance of the hybrid system is mostly evaluated as fuel economy. However, since the hybrid system has increasingly been applied to various types of vehicles with different purpose of the operation, another performance index for evaluating a hybrid system is needed. Therefore, in this paper, we introduced an additional performance index to evaluate the hybrid electric drive system and used it to derive the optimal architecture of the hybrid electric drive system. We used Dynamic programming (DP) to evaluate each architecture and DP simulation was performed in the Matlab environment.
