An energy management strategy for mild hybrids that prevents battery overheating is introduced in this digest. Energy management strategy design for mild hybrids requires particular care to prevent overheating of the battery pack as they typically do not have an active cooling system. To tackle this issue, we extend the well-known equivalent consumption minimization strategy approach to develop a real-time capable fuel-optimal controller that is sensitive to the battery’s thermal dynamics and that can enforce constraints on its temperature. The rationale for our formulation is developed using Pontryagin’s minimum principle from optimal control theory. The same principle is also used to design an off-line numerical procedure for the energy management strategy’s calibration. The effectiveness of the procedure is corroborated by numerical experiments on two different drive cycles, whose results are also compared with the solution obtained with a dynamic programming algorithm. Several peculiar aspects of our solution procedure, such as the method used to incorporate state constraints and the approximate boundary value problem solution method using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, are also detailed and discussed. The proposed controller is computationally light-weight and can be readily extended to on-line control provided that a suitable co-state selection procedure is employed, based on the data collected by using our calibration method on a large number of driving missions.

Abstract

An energy management strategy for mild hybrids that prevents battery overheating is introduced in this digest. Energy management strategy design for mild hybrids requires particular care to prevent overheating of the battery pack as they typically do not have an active cooling system. To tackle this issue, we extend the well-known equivalent consumption minimization strategy approach to develop a real-time capable fuel-optimal controller that is sensitive to the battery’s thermal dynamics and that can enforce constraints on its temperature. The rationale for our formulation is developed using Pontryagin’s minimum principle from optimal control theory. The same principle is also used to design an off-line numerical procedure for the energy management strategy’s calibration. The effectiveness of the procedure is corroborated by numerical experiments on two different drive cycles, whose results are also compared with the solution obtained with a dynamic programming algorithm. Several peculiar aspects of our solution procedure, such as the method used to incorporate state constraints and the approximate boundary value problem solution method using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, are also detailed and discussed. The proposed controller is computationally light-weight and can be readily extended to on-line control provided that a suitable co-state selection procedure is employed, based on the data collected by using our calibration method on a large number of driving missions.
