Summary
Because of the harsh working condition in electrified vehicles, the measured current and voltage signals typically contain non‐ignorable noises and bias, which potentially decline the accuracy of state‐of‐charge estimation. In this regard, the noise and bias corruption should be well addressed to maintain sufficient accuracy and robustness. This paper improves the existing methods in the literature from two aspects: (a) A novel offset‐free equivalent circuit model is developed to remove the current bias; and (b) based on the offset‐free equivalent circuit model, a two‐layer estimator is proposed to estimate the state of charge using real‐time identified model parameters. The robustness of the two‐layer estimator against model uncertainties and the aging effect is further evaluated. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed two‐layer estimator can effectively attenuate the current bias and estimate the state of charge accurately with the error confined to ±4% under different levels of current bias and model uncertainties.
This paper addresses a control scheme for a parallel hybrid vehicle powertrain by introducing fueling control techniques. Since a diesel engine is involved in the proposed configuration, the control of fuel injection mass and timing becomes a crucial issue. In this study, these two variables are selected as control inputs for the hybrid powertrain system. Meanwhile, an optimization-based control strategy is designed to solve the hybrid electric vehicle power management problem by incorporating engine brake specific fuel consumption characteristics with regard to fuel injection control variables. To show the advantages of the proposed control scheme, another optimization-based strategy with fixed fuel injection timing is developed and implemented for comparison. The influence of NOx emission is also considered in control strategy and simulation results to show that the proposed fuel control technique has limited impact on NOx emission but imposes a considerable improvement on fuel saving.
