Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid powertrain systems have a variety of topology schemes, including series, parallel, series-parallel, power-split, etc. Therefore, hybrid powertrain systems have different characteristics and can show different performances under different driving cycles. The research on scheme design and optimization, topology synthesis, energy management, mode switching, and dynamic control of hybrid power system have become hot issues. Therefore, successful achievements of above challenging targets motivate the current issue proposal, which focuses on the scientific advancement and technological development of hybrid powertrain system. In order to timely summarize the latest achievements in the field of hybrid powertrain system and lead its theoretical innovation and technology development, "Modeling and Control of Hybrid Powertrain Systems" will be published in Energies for a Special Issue.

In this Special Issue, we aim to invite researchers to submit their original research papers with significant contributions in the field of hybrid powertrain system, which reflects the latest advances in developing and understanding the design, modeling, control, and optimization of hybrid powertrain system. Specifically, we encourage submissions from the following topics:

  1. Design, modeling, control and optimization of Hybrid Powertrain System;
  2. Transmission Scheme Synthesis of Hybrid Powertrain System;

In order to fulfill the commitment of China to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, all industries have been taking their respective carbon reduction actions. The transportation industry accounts for 11% of CO2 emission of the whole society, and its energy conservation and carbon reduction benefit is of great significance to the national carbon reduction process. New energy vehicles are undoubtedly one of the most important means of carbon emission reduction in the transportation sector. However, electric vehicles still have CO2 emissions, as the fossil fuel use comes from upstream power. To systematically and comprehensively evaluate the CO2 emissions of HEV, PHEV and BEV in the whole process, this study introduces the life-cycle method to research on the past and current situations, and predict future scenarios for ICEV and EV light-duty vehicles at the national and regional levels, by deeply analyzing the generation mix and generating efficiency from the WTT stage, and fuel economy from the TTW stage. The study shows that compared with ICEV, HEV and PHEV could reduce around 30% of CO2 emissions. Currently, BEV could reduce 37% of CO2 emission in the region where the proportion of coal-fired power is high, and 90% of CO2 emission in the region where the proportion of hydro power is high. This study discusses the impact of the proportion of renewable energy application on the carbon emissions from electric vehicles, analyzes the environmental benefits of promoting electric vehicles in different regions, and lays a foundation for the promotion strategy of electric vehicles for different regions in the future.

Multi-speed transmission is the main development direction of hybrid transmission, which has brought higher shift quality requirements than traditional fuel vehicle transmission. However, there is less research on the shifting control of hybrid transmission, especially for the shifting control of dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), which uses the wet clutch as a shift element. This paper studies the power-on downshift process of a two-speed series-parallel hybrid transmission, proposes a shifting control strategy based on motor active speed regulation, and deeply analyzes the causes of maximum impact during the shifting process. The results show that the reverse torque produced in the process of eliminating the remaining slip is the root cause of the maximum impact. On this basis, two optimization strategies are proposed to reduce the shift impact and improve the shift quality. The simulation results show that the proposed optimization strategies can effectively suppress the shift impact. In the meanwhile, for any control pressure of the OG (off-going) clutch in the speed phase within the range of (2.44–2.53 bar), a high shift quality in which the maximum impact is controlled lower than 10 m/s3 can be achieved, which has high engineering value and practical significance.

The configuration and control strategy of hybrid powertrain systems are significant for the development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) because they significantly affect their comprehensive performance. In this paper, the types, features, and applications of the mainstream hybrid powertrain configurations on the market in recent years are summarized and the effects of different configurations on the comprehensive performance of HEVs are compared. Moreover, the technical routes for each hybrid configuration are highlighted, as configuration optimization methods have become a technical difficulty. In addition, the technological advances in the steady-state energy management strategy and dynamic coordinated control strategy for hybrid powertrain systems are studied. The optimization of the steady-state energy management strategy mainly involves assigning the working point and working range of each power source reasonably. However, with the increase in the complexity of optimization algorithms, real-time control of HEVs still needs to be improved. The optimization of the dynamic coordinated control strategy mainly focuses on the stability and smoothness of the dynamic process involving switching and shifting the working mode. The optimization of the dynamic control process for the system remains to be further improved. It is pointed out that the configurations and strategies should be optimized jointly to obtain a comprehensive improvement in the system performance. This paper provides an informative basis and technical support for the design and optimization of a hybrid powertrain system. Full article
