The parameters matching of the hybrid powertrain system of the hybrid electric vehicle has a directly impact on the performance of the vehicle dynamic and the fuel economy. The preliminary match of the powertrain system base on analysis of Driving Cycle is done, then the software of AVL-Cruise and Matlab are integrated with Isight to optimize parameters of match, by using the Multi-Island GA and NLPQL to establish the combinatorial optimization algorithm. The results show that the fuel economy have been improved by 10.92% without sacrificing the dynamic performance and under the premise of ensuring the limits of the state of charge of battery.

control strategy is one of the most decisive techniques in Hybrid Electric Bus (HEB) and directly influences the dynamic performance and fuel economy. For achieving the best fuel economy and keeping the battery for a long time, First, power analytic control strategy was built; then, the hybrid optimization algorithm (HOA) based on Multi-island genetic Algorithm (MIGA) and NLPQL was built by ISIGHT software. HOA is adopted in control strategy parameters of HEB optimization. The results show that the best result can be obtained in few iterative times by HOA, the calculation time was reduce by 12 hours, the fuel economy was improved by 12% and find the rules between control strategy parameters and fuel economy the balance of the battery state of charge (SOC).

Many leading companies in the automotive industry have been putting tremendous effort into developing new powertrains and technologies to make their products more energy efficient. Evaluating the fuel economy benefit of a new technology in specific powertrain systems is straightforward; and, in an early concept phase, obtaining a projection of energy efficiency benefits from new technologies is extremely useful. However, when carmakers consider new technology or powertrain configurations, they must deal with a trade-off problem involving factors such as energy efficiency and performance, because of the complexities of sizing a vehicle’s powertrain components, which directly affect its energy efficiency and dynamic performance. As powertrains of modern vehicles become more complicated, even more effort is required to design the size of each component. This study presents a component-sizing process based on the forward-looking vehicle simulator “Autonomie” and the optimization algorithm “POUNDERS”; the supervisory control strategy based on Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle (PMP) assures sufficient computational system efficiency. We tested the process by applying it to a single power-split hybrid electric vehicle to determine optimal values of gear ratios and each component size, where we defined the optimization problem as minimizing energy consumption when the vehicle’s dynamic performance is given as a performance constraint. The suggested sizing process will be helpful in determining optimal component sizes for vehicle powertrain to maximize fuel efficiency while dynamic performance is satisfied. Indeed, this process does not require the engineer’s intuition or rules based on heuristics required in the rule-based process.

Based on the configuration and working state analysis of the ISG hybrid electric cars, the torque distribution strategy of a hybrid system is designed to delineate the maximum and minimum work torque curves of the engine, achieve optimization of engine’s range so as to make sure the target torque of the engine and ISG motor, and finally through the calibrated driving characteristics MAP and battery SOC state to achieve the calculation of total vehicle torque demand. Taking the Hafei Saibao ISG hybrid car as a test model, the test of fuel economy and emissions carried out under specific conditions showed that using the torque distribution strategy has increased by 12.8 % of the ISG hybrid car fuel economy and improved emissions performance to some extent compared to the traditional Hafei Saibao cars.
