    摘要: A computer-implemented method for optimally operating a hybrid-electric propulsion system by control of equipment dynamics. Prior to start of a mission, an original energy management plan is generated which is calculated to minimize estimated life-cycle operating costs for the vehicle during the mission. During an initial portion of the mission, operations of first and second power sources, a power distribution system, and a propulsion system are controlled such that a power mixture is supplied to the propulsion system from the first and second power sources in accordance with the original energy management plan. During the initial portion of the mission, a modified energy management plan is generated which is calculated to minimize estimated life-cycle operating costs for the vehicle. During a subsequent portion of the mission, operations of the first and second power sources, power distribution system, and propulsion system are controlled such that a power mixture is supplied to the propulsion system from the first and second power sources in accordance with the modified energy management plan.

    摘要: A computer system and a method for controlling a power system of a vehicle is disclosed. The power system includes a fuel cell system and an energy storage system comprising one or more batteries. The method includes predicting an upcoming driving event associated with a start time and a time duration, the driving event being an event during which the vehicle is expected to be operated under a load condition. The method further includes determining a preferred operating condition of the fuel cell system during the predicted upcoming driving event based on the load condition and on the time duration, and controlling the power system by performing a preparation action associated with the power system in dependence of the determined operating condition of the fuel system before the start time of the predicted upcoming driving event.

    摘要: A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle executes control in which a state of charge of the battery at a time point at which the hybrid vehicle reaches a destination is lower than an upper limit state of charge by executing an EV mode until the hybrid vehicle reaches the destination. During execution of the control, if an estimated value of a lowest temperature of an engine coolant until the hybrid vehicle reaches the destination is equal to or higher than a first threshold value, the EV mode is started when the EV mode is continuable to the destination, and if the estimated value of the lowest temperature is lower than the first threshold value, a section for executing the EV mode is shortened compared to when the estimated value of the lowest temperature is equal to or higher than the first threshold value.
