Abstract
This master’s thesis work deals with the control system development and performance evaluation for a through-the-road-parallel (TTRP) hybrid electric vehicle with an objective of reducing the fuel consumption and emission. A conventional 2.0 l diesel ICE vehicle is downsized to 1.6 l diesel engine and an electric motor is integrated at the rear axle allowing the implementation of through-the-road-parallel hybrid architecture. Further, a motor generator unit is coupled with the ICE at the front axle to implement a start and stop control strategy. The aim of this work is to study the effect of prediction model complexity on the performance of a nonlinear model predictive controller for the energy management of a downsized through-the-road-parallel hybrid electric vehicle, demonstrating the viability in terms of fuel economy and emission performance.
An adaptive equivalent consumption minimization strategy (A-ECMS) and a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) with different levels of the prediction model complexity are proposed for the hybrid vehicle along with the imposition of optimal gear shift selection
