1 Introduction

The invention of the automobile is one of the most ground-breaking advancements in technology Today it is impossibleto imagine the world without it anymore The automobileindustry contributes significantly to the growth of the worldrsquoseconomy and affects each level of population The presenttransportation structure heavily relies on internal combus-tion engine (ICE) based transportation which uses fossilfuels as a source of energy But due to toxic emissions of car-bon dioxide (CO

2) carbon monoxide (CO) nitrogen oxides

(NO119909) and unburned hydrocarbons (HCs) in large amount

they have caused environmental pollution and global warm-ing as well Exponential rise in population and personaltransportation resulted in multifold increase in automobilesaround the globe It has been causing severe environmentalproblems and a threat to human life Air pollution is a majorenvironmental jeopardy to health due to emissions ofCO

23 percent of total CO2emissions in the world are caused

by the transport sector [2] of which roughly 73 percent wasgenerated by road transport [3] In future oil production willfall but its consumption will continue to rise so transportsector should eradicate dependence on oil by adapting thenew transportation mediums like electric or hybrid vehicleswhich are green and sustainable Hybrid vehicles are cleanefficient and environment friendly transportation meansHybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) use battery to store theelectrical energy for propelling the vehicle with good fueleconomy and less toxic emissions [4]

The presence of two power sources focuses on the needof designing an energy management strategy to split powerbetween them to minimize the fuel consumption and max-imize the power utilization Complex structure of HEVsmakes it challenging to design the control strategiesThe pre-liminary objective of the control strategy is to satisfy thedriverrsquos power demand with minimum fuel consumption

Moreover fuel economy and emissions minimization areconflicting objectives a smart control strategy should satisfya trade-off between them

In optimization based control strategies the goal of acontroller is to minimize the cost functionThe cost functionfor an HEV may include the emission fuel consumptionand torque depending on the application Global optimumsolutions can be obtained by performing optimization over afixed driving cycle Due to causal nature of global optimiza-tion techniques they are not suitable for real-time analysisTherefore global criterion is reduced to an instantaneousoptimization by introducing a cost function that dependsonly on the present state of the system parameters Globaloptimization techniques do not consider variations of batterystate of charge (SOC) Hence a real-time optimization isperformed for power split while maintaining the batterychargeThe concept of real-time control strategy for efficiencyand emission optimization of a parallel HEV is proposed in[5] It considers all engine-motor torque pairs which forecastthe energy consumption and emissions for every given pointAn instantaneous fuel efficiency optimization strategy wasdeveloped for parallel hybrid vehicle with the charge sustain-ing mode in [6] Also to implement the global constraintthe authors developed a nonlinear penalty function in termsof battery SOC deviation from its desired value Literaturespeaks that real-time optimization techniques like ECMS [67] model predictive control (MPC) [8ndash10] Neural Network(NN) [11 12] particle swarm optimization (PSO) [13ndash15]and Pontryaginrsquos minimum principle (PMP) [16 17] are usedextensively Table 1 compares different real-time strategieswith its pros and cons In the presence of a priori knowledgePMPwith structural simplicity and limited computation timegives local solution to the optimization problemwhich in caseof particular assumption can provide the global optima [17]

Stockar et al used PMP to build an optimal supervisorycontroller by reducing a global optimization problem intolocal It reduces computational requirement and gives thefreedom to solve the problem in the continuous time domain[18] Stockar et al proposed amodel based control strategy tominimize the CO

2emission A supervisory energy manage-

ment strategy is implemented as a global optimization prob-lem and then converted into local and using PMP optimalenergy utilization for PHEVs is obtained A real-time optimalcontrol can be obtained using PMP as it uses instantaneousminimization of the Hamiltonian function [19] Kim et alstate that solution based on PMP can be global optimal undersome certain assumptions [20] Kim et al applied PMP based

control strategies to the PHEVs and found that it gives anumber of alternative solutions [21] PMP provides a near-optimal solution for optimal power management of HEVs iffuture driving conditions are known It is suggested to find theproper costate to keep SOC at a desired and predefined level

In this paper PMP is applied to solve the performanceindex of theHEV in terms of fuel consumptionThe requestedpower threshold is analyzed using PMP above which engineshould be on towork in its optimal efficient range and gener-ator can run to charge the battery tomaintain the appropriateSOC level in the battery

InHEVs speed and power required by vehicle SOC leveland engine off time play an important role to design energymanagement controller PMP computes threshold powerlevel but initially designer needs to define the other param-eters like optimal speed and torque ranges of engine motorand generator highest and lowest level of SOC target SOCspeed threshold and engine off threshold to minimize thefuel consumption using vehicle controller Optimal speed andtorque ranges of engine motor and generator are defined byexperiments done by the National Renewable Energy Lab-oratory (NREL) and provided in the package of AdvancedVehicle Simulator (ADVISOR) [22] But speed thresholdengine off time threshold and engine on SOC level aredetermined here using genetic algorithm (GA)which in turnalong with power threshold decides engine on threshold

GA is a heuristic search algorithm to solve optimizationand search problemsThis is a branch of artificial intelligenceinspired by Darwinrsquos theory of evolution GA is a robustand feasible approach with a wide range of search space andrapidly optimizes the parameters using simple operationsThey are proven to be effective to solve complex engineeringoptimization problems characterized by nonlinear multi-modal nonconvex objective functions GA is efficient atsearching the global optima without getting stuck in localoptima Unlike the conventional gradient based methodGA does not require any strong assumption or additionalinformation about objective parameters GA can also explorethe solution space very efficiently Piccolo et al utilize GA forenergy management of an on road vehicle and minimize thecost function containing fuel consumption and emission [23]Wang and Yang implemented a robust easy and real-timeimplementable FL based energy management strategy andused GA to tune and optimize the same [24] To optimize thefuel consumption and emissions in a series HEV GA basedcontrol strategy has been used by [25] It is a flexible andglobal optimal multiobjective control strategy which is found

to be better than thermostatic and divide rectangle (DIRECT)algorithm Wimalendra et al applied GA in parallel HEVto find the optimal power split for improved vehicle perfor-mance and also promises to give maximum fuel economy forknown driving cycle for a parallel HEV using GA [26]

This paper aims to develop an optimal controller based onPMP and GA to get the optimal power split between engineand battery to fulfill the driverrsquos speed and torque demandwhile compelling the engine to work in its efficient regionPMP is a powerful tool in optimal control theory which pro-vides the set of necessary conditions to get the global solutionof a constrained control problem

The paper is divided into different sections Section 2explains the vehicle dynamics with vehicle model and plane-tary gear set operation Section 3 explains power train controlmethodology involving engine speed control and tractiontorque control schemes Section 4 elaborates problem state-ment engine operating range description and proposed con-trol strategy Section 5 discusses simulation and result discus-sion and Section 6 concludes the paper

2 Vehicle Dynamics

The vehicle movement behavior depends upon differentforces (aerodynamic drag rolling resistance and gradingresistance) along its moving direction Aerodynamic dragforce is encountered by air in the direction of vehicle move-ment at a particular speed Rolling resistance is a horizontalforce which acts on the wheel center in the opposite move-ment direction of the wheel Grade force acts on the vehicleeither in opposite or in the same directionwhen a vehicle goesup or down over a slope

Battery plays a vital role inHEVs Inmost of the literatureenergymanagement techniques for HEVs have used batterieswith a single 119877int component which consists of ohmic andpolarization resistances But due to double-layer formationat the electrodesolution interface capacitive effects arise[32]This capacitance consists of purely electrical polarizationcapacitance and diffusion capacitance [33] The transientresponse of the battery is highly influenced by double-layeranddiffusion capacitancewhen the rates of reactions are highThis effect can be modeled using lumped capacitances inparallel with the resistances [34] Inclusion of diffusion anddouble-layer resistances and capacitances (119877 and 119862 compo-nents) will lead to the accurate SOC estimation In this paperto predict the run-time behavior of the battery 1 RC and 2 RCmodels along with modified SOC estimation techniques areused to analyze the effect on fuel efficiency

3 Powertrain Control Methodology

119890 max and SOC ofthe battery is lower than SOCmin and the battery cannot bedischarged any more to support motoring mode the enginewill be forced to operate at the higher speed (beyond theoptimal range) to fulfill the driver power demand In thiscase engine alone mode can be used with torque couplingor engine can run at somewhat higher speed so that a motorgenerator can work in generating mode to feed the tractionmotor to support engine by providing additional torque Forthe latter case 119899

119890can be calculated as in (17)

If SOC is higher than the SOCmin then the engine shouldbe controlled at its 119899

119890 max with optimal throttle and tractionmotor provides additional torque to engine to support thedriver torque demand

If the commanded traction torque is smaller than theengine torque and SOC is lower than SOCmin engine is oper-ated according to (13) and tractionmotor works in generatingmode If SOC is in between range of SOCmin and SOCmaxtraction motor may be de-energized and engine alone modecan be projected If SOC is greater than the SOCmax enginebetter shuts down and traction motor alone can propel thevehicle

4 Proposed Energy Management Approach

In HEVs presence of both motor and engine together makesit inevitable to decide enginemotor onoff condition to min-imize the fuel consumption To split the power optimally bet-ween two power sources a cost function is derived The costfunction depends on various parameters like speed powerSOC and engine onoff time The various steps involved indeveloping the strategy are given below

41 Problem Statement The proposed cost function involvesrate of fuel consumption that is 119869 =

119891119905 where

119891119905is total

fuel consumption in a driving cycle 119891is the time rate of fuel

consumption and is given by 119891= ((119875119890lowast119892119890)(1000lowast120574

where119875119890is engine power 119892

119890is specific fuel consumption and

120574119891is mass density of fuel kgL So total fuel consumption in a

Moreover fuel economy and emissions minimization areconflicting objectives a smart control strategy should satisfya trade-off between them

In optimization based control strategies the goal of acontroller is to minimize the cost functionThe cost functionfor an HEV may include the emission fuel consumptionand torque depending on the application Global optimumsolutions can be obtained by performing optimization over afixed driving cycle Due to causal nature of global optimiza-tion techniques they are not suitable for real-time analysisTherefore global criterion is reduced to an instantaneousoptimization by introducing a cost function that dependsonly on the present state of the system parameters Globaloptimization techniques do not consider variations of batterystate of charge (SOC) Hence a real-time optimization isperformed for power split while maintaining the batterychargeThe concept of real-time control strategy for efficiencyand emission optimization of a parallel HEV is proposed in[5] It considers all engine-motor torque pairs which forecastthe energy consumption and emissions for every given pointAn instantaneous fuel efficiency optimization strategy wasdeveloped for parallel hybrid vehicle with the charge sustain-ing mode in [6] Also to implement the global constraintthe authors developed a nonlinear penalty function in termsof battery SOC deviation from its desired value Literaturespeaks that real-time optimization techniques like ECMS [67] model predictive control (MPC) [8ndash10] Neural Network(NN) [11 12] particle swarm optimization (PSO) [13ndash15]and Pontryaginrsquos minimum principle (PMP) [16 17] are usedextensively Table 1 compares different real-time strategieswith its pros and cons In the presence of a priori knowledgePMPwith structural simplicity and limited computation timegives local solution to the optimization problemwhich in caseof particular assumption can provide the global optima [17]

Stockar et al used PMP to build an optimal supervisorycontroller by reducing a global optimization problem intolocal It reduces computational requirement and gives thefreedom to solve the problem in the continuous time domain[18] Stockar et al proposed amodel based control strategy tominimize the CO

2emission A supervisory energy manage-

ment strategy is implemented as a global optimization prob-lem and then converted into local and using PMP optimalenergy utilization for PHEVs is obtained A real-time optimalcontrol can be obtained using PMP as it uses instantaneousminimization of the Hamiltonian function [19] Kim et alstate that solution based on PMP can be global optimal undersome certain assumptions [20] Kim et al applied PMP based

control strategies to the PHEVs and found that it gives anumber of alternative solutions [21] PMP provides a near-optimal solution for optimal power management of HEVs iffuture driving conditions are known It is suggested to find theproper costate to keep SOC at a desired and predefined level

In this paper PMP is applied to solve the performanceindex of theHEV in terms of fuel consumptionThe requestedpower threshold is analyzed using PMP above which engineshould be on towork in its optimal efficient range and gener-ator can run to charge the battery tomaintain the appropriateSOC level in the battery

InHEVs speed and power required by vehicle SOC leveland engine off time play an important role to design energymanagement controller PMP computes threshold powerlevel but initially designer needs to define the other param-eters like optimal speed and torque ranges of engine motorand generator highest and lowest level of SOC target SOCspeed threshold and engine off threshold to minimize thefuel consumption using vehicle controller Optimal speed andtorque ranges of engine motor and generator are defined byexperiments done by the National Renewable Energy Lab-oratory (NREL) and provided in the package of AdvancedVehicle Simulator (ADVISOR) [22] But speed thresholdengine off time threshold and engine on SOC level aredetermined here using genetic algorithm (GA)which in turnalong with power threshold decides engine on threshold

GA is a heuristic search algorithm to solve optimizationand search problemsThis is a branch of artificial intelligenceinspired by Darwinrsquos theory of evolution GA is a robustand feasible approach with a wide range of search space andrapidly optimizes the parameters using simple operationsThey are proven to be effective to solve complex engineeringoptimization problems characterized by nonlinear multi-modal nonconvex objective functions GA is efficient atsearching the global optima without getting stuck in localoptima Unlike the conventional gradient based methodGA does not require any strong assumption or additionalinformation about objective parameters GA can also explorethe solution space very efficiently Piccolo et al utilize GA forenergy management of an on road vehicle and minimize thecost function containing fuel consumption and emission [23]Wang and Yang implemented a robust easy and real-timeimplementable FL based energy management strategy andused GA to tune and optimize the same [24] To optimize thefuel consumption and emissions in a series HEV GA basedcontrol strategy has been used by [25] It is a flexible andglobal optimal multiobjective control strategy which is found

to be better than thermostatic and divide rectangle (DIRECT)algorithm Wimalendra et al applied GA in parallel HEVto find the optimal power split for improved vehicle perfor-mance and also promises to give maximum fuel economy forknown driving cycle for a parallel HEV using GA [26]

This paper aims to develop an optimal controller based onPMP and GA to get the optimal power split between engineand battery to fulfill the driverrsquos speed and torque demandwhile compelling the engine to work in its efficient regionPMP is a powerful tool in optimal control theory which pro-vides the set of necessary conditions to get the global solutionof a constrained control problem

The paper is divided into different sections Section 2explains the vehicle dynamics with vehicle model and plane-tary gear set operation Section 3 explains power train controlmethodology involving engine speed control and tractiontorque control schemes Section 4 elaborates problem state-ment engine operating range description and proposed con-trol strategy Section 5 discusses simulation and result discus-sion and Section 6 concludes the paper

2 Vehicle Dynamics

The vehicle movement behavior depends upon differentforces (aerodynamic drag rolling resistance and gradingresistance) along its moving direction Aerodynamic dragforce is encountered by air in the direction of vehicle move-ment at a particular speed Rolling resistance is a horizontalforce which acts on the wheel center in the opposite move-ment direction of the wheel Grade force acts on the vehicleeither in opposite or in the same directionwhen a vehicle goesup or down over a slope

Estimating SOC by (7) and (8) will promise a better fuelefficiency ofHEV as accuracy of SOC estimation is improved

Battery plays a vital role inHEVs Inmost of the literatureenergymanagement techniques for HEVs have used batterieswith a single 119877int component which consists of ohmic andpolarization resistances But due to double-layer formationat the electrodesolution interface capacitive effects arise[32]This capacitance consists of purely electrical polarizationcapacitance and diffusion capacitance [33] The transientresponse of the battery is highly influenced by double-layeranddiffusion capacitancewhen the rates of reactions are highThis effect can be modeled using lumped capacitances inparallel with the resistances [34] Inclusion of diffusion anddouble-layer resistances and capacitances (119877 and 119862 compo-nents) will lead to the accurate SOC estimation In this paperto predict the run-time behavior of the battery 1 RC and 2 RCmodels along with modified SOC estimation techniques areused to analyze the effect on fuel efficiency

3 Powertrain Control Methodology

Power split HEVs have the potential to improve in fuel effi-ciency compared to series or parallel hybrids because enginespeed and torque can be decoupled completely or partiallyfrom the driven wheels through speed and torque couplingBy applying suitable control strategies fuel efficiency can beimproved provided it follows the control objectives like (1)driver torque and speed demand are fulfilled (2) engineoperates in its best efficiency region (3) target SOC levelmeets at the end of the trip and (4)maximumbraking energyis recuperated while braking or decelerating While makingthe control strategies different approaches can be followed aselaborated below

31 Engine Speed Control Strategy Vehicle speed ranges aredivided into three regions namely (1) low (2) medium and(3) high vehicle speed as shown in Figure 3 In low speed reg-ion motor fulfills the driver power demand and hence engineusage can be avoided which is inefficient also Low vehiclespeed 119881

tion motor together function as an EVT because no energygoes into or out of the battery

119890 max and SOC ofthe battery is lower than SOCmin and the battery cannot bedischarged any more to support motoring mode the enginewill be forced to operate at the higher speed (beyond theoptimal range) to fulfill the driver power demand In thiscase engine alone mode can be used with torque couplingor engine can run at somewhat higher speed so that a motorgenerator can work in generating mode to feed the tractionmotor to support engine by providing additional torque Forthe latter case 119899

If SOC is higher than the SOCmin then the engine shouldbe controlled at its 119899

119890 max with optimal throttle and tractionmotor provides additional torque to engine to support thedriver torque demand

If the commanded traction torque is smaller than theengine torque and SOC is lower than SOCmin engine is oper-ated according to (13) and tractionmotor works in generatingmode If SOC is in between range of SOCmin and SOCmaxtraction motor may be de-energized and engine alone modecan be projected If SOC is greater than the SOCmax enginebetter shuts down and traction motor alone can propel thevehicle

4 Proposed Energy Management Approach

In HEVs presence of both motor and engine together makesit inevitable to decide enginemotor onoff condition to min-imize the fuel consumption To split the power optimally bet-ween two power sources a cost function is derived The costfunction depends on various parameters like speed powerSOC and engine onoff time The various steps involved indeveloping the strategy are given below

119891119905is total

fuel consumption in a driving cycle 119891is the time rate of fuel

2 Vehicle Dynamics

The vehicle movement behavior depends upon differentforces (aerodynamic drag rolling resistance and gradingresistance) along its moving direction Aerodynamic dragforce is encountered by air in the direction of vehicle move-ment at a particular speed Rolling resistance is a horizontalforce which acts on the wheel center in the opposite move-ment direction of the wheel Grade force acts on the vehicleeither in opposite or in the same directionwhen a vehicle goesup or down over a slope

Estimating SOC by (7) and (8) will promise a better fuelefficiency ofHEV as accuracy of SOC estimation is improved

Battery plays a vital role inHEVs Inmost of the literatureenergymanagement techniques for HEVs have used batterieswith a single 119877int component which consists of ohmic andpolarization resistances But due to double-layer formationat the electrodesolution interface capacitive effects arise[32]This capacitance consists of purely electrical polarizationcapacitance and diffusion capacitance [33] The transientresponse of the battery is highly influenced by double-layeranddiffusion capacitancewhen the rates of reactions are highThis effect can be modeled using lumped capacitances inparallel with the resistances [34] Inclusion of diffusion anddouble-layer resistances and capacitances (119877 and 119862 compo-nents) will lead to the accurate SOC estimation In this paperto predict the run-time behavior of the battery 1 RC and 2 RCmodels along with modified SOC estimation techniques areused to analyze the effect on fuel efficiency

3 Powertrain Control Methodology

Power split HEVs have the potential to improve in fuel effi-ciency compared to series or parallel hybrids because enginespeed and torque can be decoupled completely or partiallyfrom the driven wheels through speed and torque couplingBy applying suitable control strategies fuel efficiency can beimproved provided it follows the control objectives like (1)driver torque and speed demand are fulfilled (2) engineoperates in its best efficiency region (3) target SOC levelmeets at the end of the trip and (4)maximumbraking energyis recuperated while braking or decelerating While makingthe control strategies different approaches can be followed aselaborated below

31 Engine Speed Control Strategy Vehicle speed ranges aredivided into three regions namely (1) low (2) medium and(3) high vehicle speed as shown in Figure 3 In low speed reg-ion motor fulfills the driver power demand and hence engineusage can be avoided which is inefficient also Low vehiclespeed 119881

tion motor together function as an EVT because no energygoes into or out of the battery

119890 max and SOC ofthe battery is lower than SOCmin and the battery cannot bedischarged any more to support motoring mode the enginewill be forced to operate at the higher speed (beyond theoptimal range) to fulfill the driver power demand In thiscase engine alone mode can be used with torque couplingor engine can run at somewhat higher speed so that a motorgenerator can work in generating mode to feed the tractionmotor to support engine by providing additional torque Forthe latter case 119899

If SOC is higher than the SOCmin then the engine shouldbe controlled at its 119899

119890 max with optimal throttle and tractionmotor provides additional torque to engine to support thedriver torque demand

If the commanded traction torque is smaller than theengine torque and SOC is lower than SOCmin engine is oper-ated according to (13) and tractionmotor works in generatingmode If SOC is in between range of SOCmin and SOCmaxtraction motor may be de-energized and engine alone modecan be projected If SOC is greater than the SOCmax enginebetter shuts down and traction motor alone can propel thevehicle

4 Proposed Energy Management Approach

In HEVs presence of both motor and engine together makesit inevitable to decide enginemotor onoff condition to min-imize the fuel consumption To split the power optimally bet-ween two power sources a cost function is derived The costfunction depends on various parameters like speed powerSOC and engine onoff time The various steps involved indeveloping the strategy are given below

119891119905 where

119891119905is total

fuel consumption in a driving cycle 119891is the time rate of fuel

119890is specific fuel consumption and

Estimating SOC by (7) and (8) will promise a better fuelefficiency ofHEV as accuracy of SOC estimation is improved

Battery plays a vital role inHEVs Inmost of the literatureenergymanagement techniques for HEVs have used batterieswith a single 119877int component which consists of ohmic andpolarization resistances But due to double-layer formationat the electrodesolution interface capacitive effects arise[32]This capacitance consists of purely electrical polarizationcapacitance and diffusion capacitance [33] The transientresponse of the battery is highly influenced by double-layeranddiffusion capacitancewhen the rates of reactions are highThis effect can be modeled using lumped capacitances inparallel with the resistances [34] Inclusion of diffusion anddouble-layer resistances and capacitances (119877 and 119862 compo-nents) will lead to the accurate SOC estimation In this paperto predict the run-time behavior of the battery 1 RC and 2 RCmodels along with modified SOC estimation techniques areused to analyze the effect on fuel efficiency

Rate of change of SOC depends on 119875 bat open circuitvoltage (OCV) and resistance 119877 offered by the battery cellsand capacity 119876

3 Powertrain Control Methodology

Power split HEVs have the potential to improve in fuel effi-ciency compared to series or parallel hybrids because enginespeed and torque can be decoupled completely or partiallyfrom the driven wheels through speed and torque couplingBy applying suitable control strategies fuel efficiency can beimproved provided it follows the control objectives like (1)driver torque and speed demand are fulfilled (2) engineoperates in its best efficiency region (3) target SOC levelmeets at the end of the trip and (4)maximumbraking energyis recuperated while braking or decelerating While makingthe control strategies different approaches can be followed aselaborated below

31 Engine Speed Control Strategy Vehicle speed ranges aredivided into three regions namely (1) low (2) medium and(3) high vehicle speed as shown in Figure 3 In low speed reg-ion motor fulfills the driver power demand and hence engineusage can be avoided which is inefficient also Low vehiclespeed 119881

119871 threshold can be decided by the lowest engine

speed allowed with zero motorgenerator speed as follows

119905119898is traction motor speed PGS 119898119892 and trac-

tion motor together function as an EVT because no energygoes into or out of the battery

In case of medium vehicle speed range only the torquecoupling mode is employed that is sun gear is locked to thevehicle stationary frame and engine speed is proportional tothe vehicle speed In high speed region engine speed is con-trolled by the enginemax speed 119899

119890 max and themotorgenera-tor works in motoring mode If the commanded tractiontorque is higher than the torque that the engine can producewith its optimal throttle at the speed of 119899

119890 max and SOC ofthe battery is lower than SOCmin and the battery cannot bedischarged any more to support motoring mode the enginewill be forced to operate at the higher speed (beyond theoptimal range) to fulfill the driver power demand In thiscase engine alone mode can be used with torque couplingor engine can run at somewhat higher speed so that a motorgenerator can work in generating mode to feed the tractionmotor to support engine by providing additional torque Forthe latter case 119899

119890can be calculated as in (17)

119899119890gt30119894119903119908119881

120587119896119910119903119903119908

(17)

If SOC is higher than the SOCmin then the engine shouldbe controlled at its 119899

119890 max with optimal throttle and tractionmotor provides additional torque to engine to support thedriver torque demand

If the commanded traction torque is smaller than theengine torque and SOC is lower than SOCmin engine is oper-ated according to (13) and tractionmotor works in generatingmode If SOC is in between range of SOCmin and SOCmaxtraction motor may be de-energized and engine alone modecan be projected If SOC is greater than the SOCmax enginebetter shuts down and traction motor alone can propel thevehicle

4 Proposed Energy Management Approach

In HEVs presence of both motor and engine together makesit inevitable to decide enginemotor onoff condition to min-imize the fuel consumption To split the power optimally bet-ween two power sources a cost function is derived The costfunction depends on various parameters like speed powerSOC and engine onoff time The various steps involved indeveloping the strategy are given below

41 Problem Statement The proposed cost function involvesrate of fuel consumption that is 119869 =

119891119905 where

119891119905is total

fuel consumption in a driving cycle 119891is the time rate of fuel

consumption and is given by 119891= ((119875119890lowast119892119890)(1000lowast120574

where119875119890is engine power 119892

119890is specific fuel consumption and

120574119891is mass density of fuel kgL So total fuel consumption in a

driving cycle is 119891119905= sum(119875

119905119898is traction motor speed PGS 119898119892 and trac-

tion motor together function as an EVT because no energygoes into or out of the battery

In case of medium vehicle speed range only the torquecoupling mode is employed that is sun gear is locked to thevehicle stationary frame and engine speed is proportional tothe vehicle speed In high speed region engine speed is con-trolled by the enginemax speed 119899

119890 max and themotorgenera-tor works in motoring mode If the commanded tractiontorque is higher than the torque that the engine can producewith its optimal throttle at the speed of 119899

119890 max and SOC ofthe battery is lower than SOCmin and the battery cannot bedischarged any more to support motoring mode the enginewill be forced to operate at the higher speed (beyond theoptimal range) to fulfill the driver power demand In thiscase engine alone mode can be used with torque couplingor engine can run at somewhat higher speed so that a motorgenerator can work in generating mode to feed the tractionmotor to support engine by providing additional torque Forthe latter case 119899

119890can be calculated as in (17)

120587119896119910119903119903119908

(17)

If SOC is higher than the SOCmin then the engine shouldbe controlled at its 119899

119890 max with optimal throttle and tractionmotor provides additional torque to engine to support thedriver torque demand

If the commanded traction torque is smaller than theengine torque and SOC is lower than SOCmin engine is oper-ated according to (13) and tractionmotor works in generatingmode If SOC is in between range of SOCmin and SOCmaxtraction motor may be de-energized and engine alone modecan be projected If SOC is greater than the SOCmax enginebetter shuts down and traction motor alone can propel thevehicle

4 Proposed Energy Management Approach

In HEVs presence of both motor and engine together makesit inevitable to decide enginemotor onoff condition to min-imize the fuel consumption To split the power optimally bet-ween two power sources a cost function is derived The costfunction depends on various parameters like speed powerSOC and engine onoff time The various steps involved indeveloping the strategy are given below

41 Problem Statement The proposed cost function involvesrate of fuel consumption that is 119869 =

119891119905 where

119891119905is total

fuel consumption in a driving cycle 119891is the time rate of fuel

consumption and is given by 119891= ((119875119890lowast119892119890)(1000lowast120574

where119875119890is engine power 119892

119890is specific fuel consumption and

120574119891is mass density of fuel kgL So total fuel consumption in a

driving cycle is 119891119905= sum(119875

5 Strategy Analysis Simulation andResult Discussion

The engine in its efficient operating range and motor withsufficient SOCwill lead to fuel efficient strategy Speed powerSOC and engine onoff time are the deciding factors andtheir threshold values must be determined to run an HEVwith maximum fuel efficiency

GA first finds optimal values of engine on SOC speedand engine off time (cs min off time cs eng on soc cs elec-tric launch spd and cs eng min spd) thresholds while ful-filling the driver demand that is requested trace (road map)shouldmeet at each instant of time over a road trip Impropervalues of these parameters will reduce the fuel efficiencyAfter selecting threshold values of vehicular parameters using

432 Pontryaginrsquos Minimum Principle PMP was proposedby Russian mathematician Lev Semenovich in 1956 It givesthe best possible control to take a dynamical system fromone state to another in the presence of constraints for somestate or input control PMP is a special case of Euler-Lagrangeequation of calculus of variations For an optimum solutionPMP provides only necessary conditions and the sufficientconditions are satisfied by Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equa-tion In PMP the number of nonlinear second-order differen-tial equations linearly increaseswith dimension so the controlbased on PMP takes less computational time for getting anoptimal trajectory but it could be a local optimal not a global

solution Trajectory obtained by PMP could be considered aglobal optimal trajectory under certain assumptions Theseare as follows (1) trajectory obtained from PMP is uniqueand satisfies the necessary and boundary conditions (2)some geometrical properties of the optimal field provide thepossibility of optimality clarification and (3) as a generalstatement of the second approach the absolute optimality ismathematically proven by clear proposition [17 39]

To optimize any problem using PMP the Hamiltonianis formed first and then minimized with respect to controlinput Then state and costate equations are obtained by fol-lowing the set procedureThe flowdiagram can be corrugatedas in Figure 8

5 Strategy Analysis Simulation andResult Discussion

The engine in its efficient operating range and motor withsufficient SOCwill lead to fuel efficient strategy Speed powerSOC and engine onoff time are the deciding factors andtheir threshold values must be determined to run an HEVwith maximum fuel efficiency

GA first finds optimal values of engine on SOC speedand engine off time (cs min off time cs eng on soc cs elec-tric launch spd and cs eng min spd) thresholds while ful-filling the driver demand that is requested trace (road map)shouldmeet at each instant of time over a road trip Impropervalues of these parameters will reduce the fuel efficiencyAfter selecting threshold values of vehicular parameters using

432 Pontryaginrsquos Minimum Principle PMP was proposedby Russian mathematician Lev Semenovich in 1956 It givesthe best possible control to take a dynamical system fromone state to another in the presence of constraints for somestate or input control PMP is a special case of Euler-Lagrangeequation of calculus of variations For an optimum solutionPMP provides only necessary conditions and the sufficientconditions are satisfied by Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equa-tion In PMP the number of nonlinear second-order differen-tial equations linearly increaseswith dimension so the controlbased on PMP takes less computational time for getting anoptimal trajectory but it could be a local optimal not a global

solution Trajectory obtained by PMP could be considered aglobal optimal trajectory under certain assumptions Theseare as follows (1) trajectory obtained from PMP is uniqueand satisfies the necessary and boundary conditions (2)some geometrical properties of the optimal field provide thepossibility of optimality clarification and (3) as a generalstatement of the second approach the absolute optimality ismathematically proven by clear proposition [17 39]

To optimize any problem using PMP the Hamiltonianis formed first and then minimized with respect to controlinput Then state and costate equations are obtained by fol-lowing the set procedureThe flowdiagram can be corrugatedas in Figure 8

5 Strategy Analysis Simulation andResult Discussion

The engine in its efficient operating range and motor withsufficient SOCwill lead to fuel efficient strategy Speed powerSOC and engine onoff time are the deciding factors andtheir threshold values must be determined to run an HEVwith maximum fuel efficiency

GA first finds optimal values of engine on SOC speedand engine off time (cs min off time cs eng on soc cs elec-tric launch spd and cs eng min spd) thresholds while ful-filling the driver demand that is requested trace (road map)shouldmeet at each instant of time over a road trip Impropervalues of these parameters will reduce the fuel efficiencyAfter selecting threshold values of vehicular parameters using
