Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for controlling a power split in a hybrid powertrain having an engine and a motor. According to at least one aspect of the present disclosure, the method includes selecting a displaced fuel consumption value for the engine based on a quantity of available reclaimed energy in a battery, where the displaced fuel consumption value favors using the quantity of available reclaimed energy at relatively high load conditions, operating the engine at a condition based on the displaced fuel consumption value to generate engine power to meet at least a portion of a power demand, and operating the motor to generate motor power sufficient to supply a remaining power demand not met by the engine power. The system includes a controller configured to perform the operations of the method.
Abstract:
A method includes operating a hybrid power train having an internal combustion engine and an electrical torque provider. The method further includes determining a machine power demand and an audible noise limit value for the internal combustion engine. The method includes determining a power division description in response to the machine power demand and the audible noise limit value, and operating the internal combustion engine and the electrical torque provider in response to the power division description.
Abstract:
A system includes a hybrid power train including an engine, a first electrical torque provider, and a second electrical torque provider. The system further includes a load mechanically coupled to the hybrid power train. The hybrid power train further includes a clutch coupled to the engine and the second electrical torque provider on a first side, and coupled to the first electrical torque provider and the load on a second side. The system further includes an electrical energy storage device electrically coupled to the electrical torque providers. The system further includes a controller that performs operations to smooth torque commands for the engine and the second electrical torque provider in response to determining that a clutch engage-disengage event occurring or imminent.
Abstract:
A system includes a hybrid power train comprising an internal combustion engine and electrical system, which includes a first and second electrical torque provider, and an electrical energy storage device electrically coupled to first and second electrical torque provider. The system further includes a controller structured to perform operations including determining a power surplus value of the electrical system; determining a machine power demand change value; in response to the power surplus value of the electrical system being greater than or equal to the machine power demand change value, operating an optimum cost controller to determine a power division for the engine, first electrical torque provider, and second electrical torque provider; and in response to the power surplus value of the electrical system being less than the machine power demand change value, operating a rule-based controller to determine the power division for the engine, first, and second electrical torque provider.
Abstract:
A method includes operating a hybrid power train having an internal combustion engine and at least one electrical torque provider. The method further includes determining a machine power demand for the hybrid power train, and determining a power division between the internal combustion engine and the electrical torque provider in response to the machine power demand. The method further includes determining a state-of-charge (SOC) of an electrical energy storage device electrically coupled to the at least one electrical torque provider and interpreting a target SOC for the electrical energy storage device in response to a vehicle speed, and determining an SOC deviation for the electrical storage device, wherein the SOC deviation comprises a function of a difference between the SOC of the electrical energy storage device and the target SOC of the electrical energy storage device.
