Abstract

Methods from optimal control theory have been used since the past decade to design model-based energy management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). These strategies are usually designed as solutions to a finite-time horizon, constrained optimal control problem that guarantees optimality upon perfect knowledge of the driving cycle. Properly adapted these strategies can be used for real-time implementation (without knowledge of the future driving mission) at the cost of either high (sometime prohibitive) computational burden or high memory requirement to store high-dimensional off-line generated look-up tables. These issues have motivated the research reported in this chapter. We propose to address the optimal energy management problem over an infinite time horizon by formulating the problem as a nonlinear, nonquadratic optimization problem. An analytical supervisory controller is designed that ensures stability, optimality with respect to fuel consumption, ease of implementation in real-time application, fast execution and low control parameter sensitivity. The approach generates a drive cycle independent control law without requiring discounted cost or shortest path stochastic dynamic programming introduced in the prior literature.

  1. 1.

    Results from [13] and [14] prove the uniqueness of the solution of the optimal control problem under the satisfied assumption of constant battery efficiency over the \(SOC\) range of operation.
