<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Through real-time online optimization, the full potential of the performance and energy efficiency of multi-gear, multi-mode, series–parallel hybrid powertrains can be realized. The framework allows for the powertrain to be in its most efficient configuration amidst the constantly changing hardware constraints and performance objectives. Typically, the different gears and hybrid/electric modes are defined as discrete states, and for a given vehicle speed and driver power demand, a formulation of optimization costs, usually in terms of power, are assigned to each discrete states and the state which has the lowest cost is naturally selected as the desired of optimum state. However, the optimization results would be sensitive to numerical exactitude and would typically lead to a very noisy raw optimum state. The generic approach to stabilization includes adding hysteresis costs to state-transitions and time-debouncing. These added costs could result in systems remaining in sub-optimal states during steady state operation when the hysteresis thresholds are not overcome. This paper proposes an improved hysteresis framework where time-dependent and transition cost considerations are integrated into the optimization. The results show that this method produces an improved stability while maintaining a level of energy efficiency compared to the existing hysteresis method.</div></div>

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In conventional vehicles the shift strategy has a well-known impact on the system’s efficiency. An appropriate gear choice allows the internal combustion engine (ICE) to operate in efficient operating points (OPs) and thus contributes significantly to a reduced fuel consumption. Further efficiency improvements can be achieved by the hybridization of the powertrain. Due to the two propulsion systems, an additional degree of freedom arises, that requires an energy management strategy (EMS). The EMS controls the split of the requested power between the electric machine (EM) and the ICE. Accordingly, the system’s overall efficiency in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is highly influenced by the quality of the EMS. This paper proposes to adapt an existing method for deriving fuel-optimal rule-based EMS by including the shift strategy for parallel HEVs. It is shown that fuel-optimal control can be achieved. The analytically derived look-up tables can be used to automatically calibrate in-vehicle EMS and the shift strategy for HEVs. The fuel-optimal shift strategy is characterized by high shift frequency, which hinders a straightforward in-vehicle integration. To further pave the way towards in-vehicle implementation, hysteresis based on energetic characteristics are proposed and a method for implementation in rule-based EMS is deduced. Finally, the benefits of coupling the shift strategy and EMS are depicted by an analysis of charging the battery (BAT) during vehicle operation. This exemplary study proves that the presented strategy allows operation at higher efficiency while improving the electric driving (ED) share. This positive effect is made possible by operating the ICE at higher speeds, which enables a more efficient charging of the BAT and additionally less energetic expenditure for boosting and lowering the ICEs OPs.</div></div>
