Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The hybrid electric powertrain (HEP) is undoubtedly one of the main power systems used for vehicular application to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Particularly, in recent years, HEPs have presented a situation where various types of HEPs have coexisted for different applications.

Although the systems are different, the composition and operation mode of HEPs are becoming more complex, as a common technology trend. In order to achieve more efficient HEPs, modelling and control are considering to be the main measures. The objective of this Special Issue is to promote the academic achievements in this field.

Modelling and control are important aspects of system research. Modelling can be tailored to different application scenarios, and modelling for control is usually a one-dimensional model that includes modules such as engines, motors, batteries, and controllers. After the model is established and verified, it can serve as the basic object for subsequent control. Control has always been the core of hybrid power system research, including energy management, fault diagnosis, health management, and other dimensions. The algorithms used have evolved from ordinary classical control to modern control and intelligent control, which is an important aspect of the development of hybrid power technology.

Based on the above, this Special Issue will collect reviews and research articles on various aspects of hybrid power modelling and control. We welcome submissions from research institutions to promote the development of hybrid power technology.

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are a practical choice for energy saving in the transportation field. Degradation diagnosis (DD) is one of the main methods to guarantee system robustness. However, the classical DD methods cannot meet the requirements of HEV due to their system complexity. In this study, a novel Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) study was conducted to face these challenges. Firstly, a physical P2 HEV model with a rule-based controller was built, and its diesel engine sub-model was simplified by a neural network (NN) to ensure real-time performance of the degradation prognostics. Secondly, a degradation prognostics method based on gray relation analysis–principal component analysis (GRA-PCA) was illustrated, which could confirm degradation 2 s after the health index fell below the threshold. Finally, a degradation tolerance strategy based on long short term memory–model predictive control (LSTM-MPC) was performed to optimize vehicle speed tracing with minimal energy consumption and was validated by three cases. The result shows that the energy consumption stayed nearly unchanged for the engine degradation case. For the battery degradation case, the tracing error was reduced by 11.7% with 4.3% more energy consumption. For combined degradation, the strategy achieved a 12.3% tracing error reduction with 3.7% more energy consumption. The suggested PHM method guaranteed vehicle power performance under degradation situations. Full article
