Abstract
In hybrid electrical vehicles the cooling problem becomes more involved since additional components such as electrical drives, power electronics and batteries have to be cooled appropriately. Simultaneously the energy consumption used for the cooling task gets increased. Motivated by this fact an energy optimal control strategy for a cooling system which is forced by an electrically driven pump and an electrically driven fan is presented. It is shown how the control problem can be transformed to a mixed integer linear program which allows good approximations of the global optimal solution.
