Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Urban air quality and climate change are at the heart of environmental concerns. Although internal-combustion-engine vehicles are expected to be replaced in the future by zero-emission vehicles, hybrids play a key role in the transition to all-electric vehicles. They can have many forms (sustaining hybrids, plug-in hybrids and range-extender hybrids), may include various liquid or gaseous (bio) fuels, and concern both on-road and off-road vehicles.

This Special Issue deals with the recent advances in the energy management of all types of hybrid vehicles. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, optimal control problems, such as multiobjective optimization considering energy consumption, battery ageing and/or pollutant emissions related to standard or alternative fuels. The global impacts on transportation systems, taking into account any form of network connection and grid management, are also considered in this Special Issue.

Adaptive λ-Control Strategy for Plug-In HEV Energy Management Using Fast Initial Multiplier Estimate

This paper presents the application of the Lambda control strategy derived from Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle (PMP) for parallel PHEV. The proposed method has shown its efficiency for hybrid vehicles. It is here extended to the Plug-in hybrid vehicle case where reducing fuel consumption and ensuring optimal behavior of the state of charge of the battery are the specific, focused performance benchmarks. Offline PMP application requires the knowledge of the entire drive cycle to obtain optimal control, leading to the best engine energy consumption. Online, adapting this method requires a good estimation of the weighting parameter lambda value, which is not an obvious task. A fast initial estimation-based method is presented in this paper as a starting point for an adaptive L-control. The proposed method is then evaluated using standard driving cycles and compared with offline PMP results. Robustness study is also accomplished by testing method performances using mixed cycles.

Concept for Generating Energy Demand in Electric Vehicles with a Model Based Approach

Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) for electric vehicles, which consist of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, have become an increasing focus of research and development in recent years. The combination of the two combines the advantages of each storage technology (high energy density in batteries and high power density in supercapacitors) in one system. To effectively manage the energy flow between these two different storage technologies, an intelligent energy management system (EMS) is required. In the development of the EMS, it is usual to run preliminary checks in a simulation environment that is as close to reality as feasible already during the development process. For this purpose, this paper presents a concept for the creation of a simulation environment consisting of realistic routes and a holistic vehicle model. The realistic route data are generated by a route-generating algorithm, which accesses different map services via application programming interfaces (API) and retrieves real route data to generate a simulated route. By integrating further online services (e.g., OpenWeather API), the routes are further specified with, for example, real weather data, traffic data, speed limits and altitude data. For the complete vehicle model, components including the suspension, chassis and auxiliary consumers are simulated as blackbox models. The components that can be accessed during the simulation are simulated as white box models. These are the battery, the supercapacitor, the DC/DC converter and the electric motor. This allows the EMS to control and regulate the HESS in real time during the simulation. To validate the simulation environment presented here, a real BMW i3 was driven on a real route, and its energy demand was measured. The same route was simulated in the simulation environment with environmental conditions that were as realistic as feasible (traffic volume, traffic facilities, weather) and the vehicle model of the BMW i3. The resulting energy demand from the simulation was recorded. The results show that the simulated energy consumption value differs by only 1.92% from the real measured value. This demonstrates the accuracy of the simulation environment presented here. Full article

This work presents an application of the optimal control theory to find trade offs between fuel consumption and pollutant emissions (CO, HC, NOx) of sustaining hybrid vehicles. Both cold start and normal operations are considered. The problem formulation includes two state variables: battery state of energy and catalyst temperature; and three control variables: torque repartition between engine and motor, spark advance, and equivalence ratio. Optimal results were obtained by delaying the first engine crank after the urban part of the mission. The results show that a quick catalyst light off is performed. Once the catalyst is primed, special control parameters values are adopted to operate the engine. Full article
