Abstract
Supervisory control systems (SCSs) are used to manage
the powertrain of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). This paper
presents a novel SCS called Exclusive operation strategy (XOS)
that applies simple rules based on the idea that batteries are
efficient at lower loads while engines and generators are efficient
at higher loads. The XOS is developed based on insights gained
from three conventional SCSs for series HEVs: Thermostat control
strategy (TCS), Power follower control strategy (PFCS) and
Global equivalent consumption minimization strategy (GECMS).
Also, recent technological developments have been considered to
make the XOS more suited to modern HEVs than conventional
SCSs. The resulting control decisions are shown to emulate
the operation of approximate global optimal solutions and thus
achieve significant improvement in fuel economy as compared
to TCS and PFCS. In addition, the generally linear relationship
between required power and engine power for the XOS provides
auditory cues to the driver that are comparable to conventional
vehicles, thus reducing barriers to adopting HEVs. The simplicity
and effectiveness of the XOS makes it a practical SCS.
