Abstract

In this article, we address the problem of energy management control design in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to achieve minimum fuel consumption while optimally limiting battery degradation. We use Pontryagin’s minimum principle (PMP) to solve the optimal control problem. To the end of controlling battery aging to guarantee battery performances over 150,000 miles, a battery capacity loss reference trajectory is defined and a battery aging model is used by the optimizer. The resulting optimal supervisory control strategy is able to regulate both state of charge and capacity loss to their reference values. Simulation results conducted on a pre-transmission HEV show that the battery capacity loss can be regulated to achieve the long-term objective without sacrificing much fuel economy.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The dependence on time will be left implicit in this paper, for simplicity.

  2. 2.

    Under this assumption, it is possible to write (9.20) as E dep = E dep(0) + V oc,batt 0 t I batt(SOC, P batt, θ) d τ and the state of charge as \(SOC = SOC(0) - \frac{1} {3600\ Q_{\mathrm{batt}}} \,\int _{0}^{t}I_{\mathrm{batt}}(SOC,P_{\mathrm{batt}},\theta )\,d\tau\). These two equations are then combined into (9.21).

  3. 3.

    An important aspect of the tuning algorithm concerns the tolerances on the final state values. The approach followed in this work is as follows. Regarding SOC, a tolerance interval SOC tol = ±1 % is accepted for the charge-sustainability target. This means that all the values \(\Delta SOC \in [-1, 1]\%\) are considered within the tolerance, and as such they are defined sub-optimal values. The optimal value is only one, i.e. \(\Delta SOC^{{\ast}} = 0\), and it falls inside the tolerance interval. For Q loss a similar relative tolerance is considered and computed as follows. Given an SOC tol = ±1 % and a state of charge target of SOC ref = 50 %, the relative tolerance for SOC is given by \(SOC_{\mathrm{tol}}^{\mathrm{rel}} = \frac{\pm 1[\%]} {50\,\%} \,100 = \pm 2\,\%\); the relative tolerance for Q loss is then Q loss,tol rel = SOC tol rel = ±2 %. The target for capacity loss, as explained in Sect. 9.2.1, for 4 US06 driving cycles (d f  = 32. 14mi) is Q loss,ref(d f ) = 0. 16205 %, which leads to \(Q_{\mathrm{loss,tol}} = \frac{0.16205\,\%} {100} \,\left (\pm 2\,\%\right ) = \pm 0.00324\,\%\). The sub-optimal values of capacity loss deviation are \(\Delta Q_{\mathrm{loss}} \in [-0.00324, 0.00324]\%\) and the optimal value is \(\Delta Q_{\mathrm{loss}}^{{\ast}} = 0\).
