Abstract

This chapter deals with numerical solutions for the powersplit problem for hybrid vehicles using predefined power and velocity trajectories. Two numerical solution methods are pursued: an indirect method that uses the necessary conditions for optimality obtained with Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, and a direct method using the Dynamic Programming algorithm which is based on Bellman’s Principle of Optimality. Both methods are illustrated with an example.
