Simulation and assessment of power control strategies for a parallel hybrid car

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose a power control strategy for hybrid electrical vehicles. This strategy uses a fuel consumption criterion with battery charge sustaining. It is based on an instantaneous minimization of the equivalent fuel flow. Two comparisons are performed to evaluate the proposed strategy. The first one uses the loss minimization strategy of Seiler and Schröder [1], which appears to be realistic and efficient for real-time control. This strategy is also based on an instantaneous optimization and allows the battery state of charge to be taken into account. The second comparison is made with an optimal solution found for a given driving schedule. Although not realistic for real-time control, this solution is derived through a global optimization algorithm, the well-known simulated annealing method.
