The performance and fuel consumption of hybrid electric vehicle heavily depend on the EMS (energy management strategy). This paper presents a novel EMS for a series hybrid electric rescue vehicle. Firstly, considering the working characteristics of engine and battery, the EMS combining logic threshold and fuzzy control is proposed. Secondly, a fuzzy control optimization method based on IQGA (improved quantum genetic algorithm) is designed to achieve better fuel efficiency. Then, the modeling and simulation are completed by using MATLAB/Simulink; the results demonstrate that the fuel consumption can be decreased by 5.17% after IQGA optimization and that the optimization effect of IQGA is better than that of GA (genetic algorithm) and QGA (quantum genetic algorithm). Finally, the HILS (hardware in loop simulation) platform is constructed with dSPACE; the HILS experiment shows that the proposed EMS can effectively improve the vehicle working efficiency, which can be applied to practical application.

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.

<span>Today, the transportation sector has undergone a change from conventional vehicle to hybrid electric vehicle especially land-based with the aim to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. However, water transportation is also one of the contributors of excessive use of fuel and emissions. Therefore, water transport needs changes as it has been done on land transport, especially cars. In this paper, plug in hybrid electric recreational boat (PHERB) is introduced. PHERB is a special model because in PHERB powertrain configuration, it only needed one EM compared to existing configuration with energy management strategy (EMS).  In this work, the optimal EMS for PHERB are presented via genetic algorithm (GA). To estimate the fuel economy and emissions, the model of PHERB is employed numerically in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment with a special EMS using Kuala Terengganu (KT) river driving cycle. Simulation result of PHERB optimization using GA improve to 15% for KT river driving cycles without violating the PHERB performance.</span>

Energy management strategies are critical for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to improve fuel economy. To solve the dual-mode HEV energy management problem combined with switching schedule and power distribution, a hierarchical control strategy is proposed in this paper. The mode planning controller is twofold. First, the mode schedule is obtained according to the mode switch map and driving condition, then a switch hunting suppression algorithm is proposed to flatten the mode schedule through eliminating unnecessary switch. The proposed algorithm can reduce switch frequency while fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged. The power distribution controller receives the mode schedule and optimizes power distribution between the engine and battery based on the Radau pseudospectral knotting method (RPKM). Simulations are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control strategy. For the mode planning controller, as the flattening threshold value increases, the fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged, however, the switch frequency decreases significantly. For the power distribution controller, the fuel consumption obtained by RPKM is 4.29% higher than that of DP, while the elapsed time is reduced by 92.53%.

This paper proposes an Adaptive Rule-Based Energy Management Strategy (ARBS EMS) for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The aim of the strategy is to facilitate the aftermarket hybridization of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. ARBS can be deployed online to optimize fuel consumption without any detailed knowledge of the engine efficiency map of the vehicle or the entire duty cycle. The proposed strategy improves upon the established Preliminary Rule-Based Strategy (PRBS), which has been adopted in commercial vehicles, by dynamically adjusting the regions of operations of the engine and the motor. It prevents the engine from operating in highly inefficient regions while reducing the total equivalent fuel consumption of the vehicle. Using an HEV model developed in Simulink®, both the proposed ARBS and the established PRBS strategies are compared over an extended duty cycle consisting of both urban and highway segments. The results show that ARBS can achieve high MPGe with different thresholds for the boundary between the motor region and the engine region. In contrast, PRBS can achieve high MPGe only if this boundary is carefully established from the engine efficiency map. This difference between the two strategies makes the ARBS particularly suitable for aftermarket hybridization where full knowledge of the engine efficiency map may not be available.
