This paper proposes an energy management strategy for a series hybrid electric vehicle based on driving pattern recognition, driving condition prediction, and model predictive control to improve the fuel consumption while maintain the state of charge of the battery. To further improve the computational efficiency, the discretization and linearization of the model is conducted, and the MPC problem is transferred into a quadratic programming problem, which can be solved by the interior point method effectively. The simulation is carried out by using Matlab/Simulink platform, and the simulation results verify the feasibility of the condition prediction method and the performance of the proposed method. In addition, the predictive control strategy successfully improves the fuel economy of the hybrid vehicle compared with the rule-based 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.
