3.3. Learning-Based Methods
3.3.1. Fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning
- (1)
- Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (Hierarchical RL): This approach decomposes complex problems into sub-problems, with a meta-controller issuing sub-goals for lower-level controllers. Jiang et al. [161] applied this method to energy management in microgrid systems, transforming sparse rewards into dense ones.
- (2)
- Safe Reinforcement Learning (Safe RL): Safe RL focuses on ensuring that the agent’s actions meet task requirements while adhering to safety constraints. Ma et al. [162] introduced a conservative penalty framework to balance reward and cost while maintaining safety, with additional safety checks proposed in [163].
- (3)
- Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (Multi-Agent RL): This approach adapts traditional RL algorithms to support multiple agents with independent evaluation and goal networks. Multi-agent RL has been successfully applied in energy management for hybrid electric vehicles, as demonstrated by [164]. Other algorithms, such as Q-Mix [165], MADDPG [166], and MAVEN [167], have been employed in swarm control and robotics.
- (4)
- Meta-Reinforcement Learning (Meta-RL): Meta-RL allows agents to adapt quickly to new tasks with minimal data. This technique has been applied in energy management systems (EMS) for transport vehicles, where power demand and operating conditions change frequently, enabling rapid adaptation to new scenarios [168].
3.3.2. Applications of Reinforcement Learning in EMS
- (1)
- Algorithmic perspective: Initially, this section reviews the evolution and applications of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in energy management strategies across diverse vehicles, illustrating how these algorithms have progressively advanced and improved in performance.
- (2)
- Domain-focused perspective: Subsequently, the discussion narrows to hybrid aerospace systems, thoroughly examining RL-based energy management strategies in two typical configurations: hydrogen fuel cell–lithium battery and turboshaft engine–generator–lithium battery hybrid systems.

4.4. Certifiable EMS Baseline: Electro-Thermal–Health Coordination
4.5. Prospective Configurations and Modeling
5. Conclusions
- (1)
- On the configuration side, parallel and blended layouts offer complementary benefits. The selection should be guided by mission power profiles, allowable electrification depth, and integration constraints such as mass, volume, and thermal headroom. System-level power-flow models remain indispensable for rapid trade studies and controller prototyping, while physics-based, multi-domain models are essential for identifying operability limits, electro-thermal bottlenecks, and certification-relevant dynamics.
- (2)
- On the control side, rule-based schemes (deterministic and fuzzy) provide robust baselines for low-power avionics but tend to saturate in complex, time-varying missions. Optimization-based methods can supply benchmark optima (DP/PMP) and near-optimal real-time policies (ECMS/MPC) when accurate models and predictions are available. Learning-based controllers, particularly safe reinforcement learning, show strong potential for adaptability under uncertainty, provided they are trained with representative mission data, constrained to ensure safety, and validated against high-fidelity plant models and experiments.

Configuration | Required Power Sources | Energy Conversion Efficiency | Maintenance-Free Operating Time | Specific Power (kW/kg) | Size/Volume | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Conventional Fuel-based | Aero-engine (turbofan/turbojet) | High (~35–40%) | Long, high reliability | Relatively high (limited by thermal efficiency) | Compact | High maturity, long range, easy refueling | High carbon emissions, fuel dependence, environmental pressure |
Series Hybrid | (ICE/aero-engine + generator)/Fuel cell + battery + motor | Moderate (~25–35%), affected by multi-stage conversion | Moderate, limited by battery degradation | Moderate (restricted by battery specific energy) | Distributed configuration | Flexible motor placement, easier optimization and control | Long energy chain, efficiency losses, limited battery lifetime |
Parallel Hybrid | Engine + motor (independent or combined output) | Relatively high (~30–40%), optimal source selection by mission phase | Moderate to long | Relatively high (engine and motor synergy improves power density) | Relatively compact | Flexible switching between power sources during takeoff/cruise, improved fuel economy | Higher control complexity, mechanical coupling challenges |
Series-Parallel Hybrid | Engine + motor + battery + generator | Potentially higher (~35–45%), enabled by adaptive operation | Moderate to long | Relatively High (multi-source power aggregation) | Largest, most complex | Strong adaptability across mission phases, balance between endurance and emissions | Complex architecture, high cost, demanding control strategies |
Model Type | Modeling Focus | Digital Platform | Advantages | Limitations | Primary Uses |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Power-flow model | System power connectivity and allocation; bus voltages and load relationships | Simulink (NASA’s EMTAT library) | Fast simulation; modular structure; easy integration with non-electrical subsystems | Limited dynamic fidelity (mainly steady/quasi-steady analysis) | Controller prototyping; overall performance assessment |
Physics-based model | Internal device mechanisms; coupled losses; true dynamic responses | Simulink (Simscape library), Dymola (Modelica), AMESim | High theoretical accuracy; suitable for detailed analyses | High complexity and computational cost; strong parameter dependence | Optimal/control co-design; real-time energy management development; high-fidelity performance simulation |
Modeling Approach | Typical Fidelity & Scope | Automotive Suitability | Aerospace Suitability | Aviation-Specific Blockers/Required Adaptations |
---|---|---|---|---|
0D/1D lumped electro-thermal (cells, bus, engine-gen) | Fast, low-CPU; limited spatial gradients | ✓ | △ | Requires conservative margins for DO-160 environments; needs traceability for thermal derating and aging across long missions |
Grey-box (physics + identified params) | Balanced fidelity; identifiable | ✓ | ✓ | Parameter identification must cover hot-high, icing, turbulence; evidence for extrapolation beyond test points |
Surrogate/meta-models (RSM, GP, NN) | Very fast once trained; opaque | ✓ | △ | Must demonstrate bounded error and explainability; runtime monitors or envelopes to ensure policy stays in training domain |
High-fidelity electro-thermal–mechanical co-models (multi-domain) | Accurate; CPU-intensive | △ | ✓ | Acceptable for offline design/certification evidence; for onboard use, needs reduced-order models with verified error bounds |
CFD/FEA-in-the-loop | Highest fidelity; non-real time | × | △ | Not for onboard EMS; only for design substantiation and offline envelope generation |
Aging/SOH coupled battery-generator models | Degradation and lifecycle captured | △ | ✓ | Required for dispatch reliability; must tie to maintenance intervals/MEL and health-monitoring evidence |
Uncertainty-aware/envelope models | Worst-case + robustness | △ | ✓ | Needed for DAL-level safety targets; used to generate certifiable constraints for controllers |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rule-based/heuristics | Hard real-time | Explicit by design | High | ✓ | ✓ | Baseline for early TRL/HIL; scales poorly to multi-physics unless structured with envelopes |
ECMS (Equivalent Cons. Min.) | Real-time capable | Soft via penalties; can add hard bounds | Medium | ✓ | ✓ | Works if penalties are certified with margins; needs envelope guards for thermal/SOC hard limits |
DP (global offline) + policy tables | Offline global optimal; lookup online | Constraints baked in | High | ✓ | △ | Online DP is ×; offline DP OK for table generation; requires interpolation guards and coverage analysis |
MPC (QP/NLP) | Deterministic if QP | Hard constraints natural | Medium | ✓ | ✓ | Preferred for certifiable runtime if convex; for NLP needs proof of timing bounds or fallback to QP |
Model-free RL (DQN/TD3/PPO) | Non-deterministic by default | Implicit | Low | ✓ | × | Impractical without safety shields, action filters, and timing guarantees; black-box nature blocks certification |
Safe-RL (constrained RL, shields, Lyapunov/CBF layers) | Near real-time if small nets | Hard/soft via safety layer | Medium | △ | △/✓ | Conditionally viable with a certifiable supervisory shell + monitors; policy size and timing must be bounded |
Hybrid supervisory: MPC/ECMS outer + RL inner (advisory) | Deterministic outer loop | Hard via outer; RL proposals filtered | Medium-High | △ | ✓ | Recommended path: outer layer enforces safety/traceability; RL only proposes within a certifiable envelope |
Online learning/adaptation | May violate timing | Risk to constraints | Low | △ | × | Disallowed unless adaptation is bounded, logged, and reverted on anomalies; typically performed on ground, not in flight |
