To further improve the comprehensive operating performance of the single motor hybrid electric vehicle, a single motor hybrid powertrain configuration with dual planetary gears (SMHPC-2PG) design is proposed in this paper. By adopting a topology design method that characterizes the constraint relationship between power resource components and planetary gear (PG) nodes, all feasible configuration candidates based on the basic configuration scheme are systematically explored, and dynamic models of configuration candidates are automatically generated. The optimal fuel economy and dynamic performance for configuration candidates are simulated by applying the global optimal control strategy based on dynamic programming (DP). Results of this study demonstrate that SMHPC-2PG with excellent operating performance can be screened out by this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
