Hierarchical Sizing and Power Distribution Strategy for Hybrid Energy Storage System

Abstract

This paper proposes a hierarchical sizing method and a power distribution strategy of a hybrid energy storage system for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), aiming to reduce both the energy consumption and battery degradation cost. As the optimal size matching is significant to multi-energy systems like PHEV with both battery and supercapacitor (SC), this hybrid system is adopted herein. First, the hierarchical optimization is conducted, when the optimal power of the internal combustion engine is calculated based on dynamic programming, and a wavelet transformer is introduced to distribute the power between the battery and the SC. Then, the fuel economy and battery degradation are evaluated to return feedback value to each sizing point within the hybrid energy storage system sizing space, obtaining the optimal sizes for the battery and the SC by comparing all the values in the whole sizing space. Finally, an all-hardware test platform is established with a fully active power conversion topology, on which the real-time control capability of the wavelet transformer method and the size matching between the battery and the SC are verified in both short and long time spans.

Comprehensive Study of Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Classification, Topologies, and Control System Comparisons

“…The UC boasts several advantages over batteries, including a greater power density, exceptional cold start operation, a longer theoretical lifespan, efficient charging and discharging, and minimal loss [54][55][56][57][58]. One of the UC's key features is its quick discharge speed, which dramatically improves a vehicle's power during acceleration [59].…”

Exploring the potential for improving material utilization efficiency to secure lithium supply for China's battery supply chain

“…To respond to climate change, many countries and enterprises have set up ambitious plans to achieve zero-carbon energy transition [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] . Among different clean energy technologies, lithium-ion battery (LIB) is one of the most important products as the major power source in consumer electronics and electric vehicles (EVs), promoting energy storage in the renewable power system [ 6 , 7 ]. Global LIB shipments were over 500 GWh in 2021 and are expected to have a 10–20 fold increase by 2050 [ 8 , 9 ].…”

A Real-Time Prognostic-Based Control Framework for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

“…Utilizing globally optimal methods can lead to minimum fuel consumption when provided with complete information regarding future power demand [3], [13]. Among different algorithms, dynamic programming (DP) and Pontryagin's minimum principle (PMP) are the most commonly used algorithms [11], [14]- [16]. The primary limitations of DP implementation are the curse of dimensionality and the considerable computing overhead required.…”
