Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of selectively charging or discharging a system with multiple battery packs connected in parallel when at least one of the battery packs has a significantly different voltage or states of charge (SOCs) than the other battery packs. The method includes charging or discharging the battery pack(s) with a voltage or state of charge (SOC) farthest from a target value until the voltage(s) or SOC(s) is within a range of another battery pack at which point the battery packs may be connected and charging or discharging can resume for the set of connected packs. This process is repeated until all the battery packs are at a predetermined minimum or maximum voltage or SOC threshold. The present disclosure also provides a method for selectively operating and charging at least one of a plurality of battery packs depending on the respective states of the battery packs.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an indication regarding a deceleration event for a vehicle, remapping a response of a prime mover of the vehicle from following a first response curve to following a deceleration response curve in response to (i) the deceleration event and (ii) a speed of the vehicle being greater than a speed threshold, and activating an output of the prime mover to accelerate the vehicle at a relatively lesser amount of depression of an accelerator from a non-depressed state of the accelerator than prior to the deceleration event in response to the accelerator being engaged by an operator following the deceleration event.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an energy storage circuit, an input circuit, and a hybrid management circuit. The energy storage circuit is structured to receive information regarding a state of charge (SOC) and a state of health (SOH) of an energy storage device structured to store energy. The input circuit is structured to receive an indication of a torque demand. The hybrid management circuit is structured to: determine a SOH adjustment factor based on the SOH of the energy storage device; determine a first torque output for a genset based on the SOH adjustment factor and the SOC of the energy storage device, the genset including an engine and a first motor-generator; and operate the genset to provide the first torque output and to generate an amount of energy for a second motor-generator to meet the torque demand according to the SOH adjustment factor.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a route circuit and a stop-start circuit. The route circuit is structured to estimate a number of charging locations for an energy storage system of a vehicle for a planned route. The stop-start circuit is structured to determine a stop-start strategy for an engine of the vehicle based on the estimated number of charging locations and expected charges to be received by the energy storage system. The stop-start strategy defines a frequency and duration of using the engine in an on-mode during operation of the vehicle along the planned route. The stop-start circuit is further structured to determine that the energy storage system fails to receive an expected charge at one of the charging locations, and update the stop-start strategy to compensate for failing to receive the expected charge by increasing use of the engine in the on-mode during operation of the vehicle along the planned route.

Abstract: Systems and methods to control the vehicle speed of a vehicle includes a motor and a controller coupled to the motor. The controller is structured to: determine that a speed of a vehicle is at or above a predetermined speed limit; activate a motor speed governor responsive to an input received by the controller, wherein the motor speed governor is structured to control a vehicle speed; and adjust an output torque based on the vehicle speed being at or above the predetermined speed limit.

Abstract: A system is provided for performing an automated electrification operation for an electric vehicle (102) using a processor (122). An electrification controller (126) communicates with a model generation unit (128). The model generation unit (128) generates a model representative of a power consumption trend of the electric vehicle (102). The electrification controller (126) sets a target power margin for the electric vehicle (102) based on the model such that the target power margin is close to a minimum state-of-charge (SOC) threshold of an energy storage supply (124) of the electric vehicle (102). The target power margin represents a difference between the minimum SOC threshold and an ending power level of the energy storage supply (124) after completion of a mission associated with the electric vehicle (102). The processor (122) performs the automated electrification operation for the electric vehicle (102) based on the target power margin.
