Design and control strategy of powertrain in hybrid electric vehicles
Hybrid electric vehicle have known a quickly grow in the last 10 years.Between conventional vehicles which are criticized for their CO2 emissionand electric vehicles which have a big issue about autonomy, hybrid electricones seems to be a good trade of. No standard has been set yet, and the architecturesresulting of theses productions vary between brands. Nevertheless,all of them are design as a thermal vehicle with battery added which leadsto bad sizing of the component, specially internal combustion engine andbattery capacity. Consequently, the control strategy applied to its componentshas a lot of constraints and cannot be optimal.This thesis investigate a new methodology to design and control a hybridelectric vehicle. Based on statistical description of driving cycle and the generationof random cycle, a new way of sizing component is presented. Thecontrol associate is then determined and apply for different scenarios : firstlya heavy vehicle : A truck and then a lightweight vehicle. An offline controlbased on the optimization of the power split via a dynamic programmingalgorithm is presented to get the optimal results for a given driving cycle.A real time control strategy is then define with its optimization for a givenpatterns and compared to the offline results. Finally, a new control of plug inhybrid electric vehicle based on destination predictions is presented.
