Different off-line and real time optimal control approaches are applied for developing power management strategies while the real-time control seems more attractive in the sense that it can be implemented and directly applied for controlling power flow in a real vehicle. One promising example of this type is the Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based algorithm where a utility function is optimized while system constraints are validated all in real time. MPC-based algorithms have been applied by developing simulation and test bench-based experimental works, but the authors have not seen a report of implementing a MPC-based algorithm in a real vehicle in the literature. In this manuscript, a real-time MPC-based algorithm is developed for implementation in a reference sport class series plug-in hybrid electric vehicle under construction and performance results are compared with engine duty ratio (thermostat) control algorithm. The results show almost identical fuel consumptions in both cases while the relaxed battery cycling is observed with MPC-based strategy which shows the possibility of extended battery life time.","PeriodicalId":280676,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126829335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a solution to the problem of optimal energy/time routing under battery constraints. A multi-criteria path-finding algorithm, A*, is proposed to function in two modes. The first is an energy mode to solve the problem of energy-optimal routing under battery constraints. This mode computes the most energy-efficient route from a source to a destination, thus extending the cruising range of the battery. The second is a travel-time mode to compute the time-optimal route under the battery constraints. The multi-criteria model aims to use the modes to strike a balance between energy consumption and travel time, so as to satisfy the user constraints and needs.

A prototype inverter capable of switching 30kW is built using the discussed ideas and low power experiments show good correlation between the estimated and measured efficiency.

Though all the traditional PFC control techniques require the feedback signals from input voltage, input current and output voltage sensors to ensure the stability of the converter, reducing a DC voltage sensor is theoretically feasible and implementable without affecting stability of the system, as proposed in this manuscript. The proposed control method incorporates the prediction of the output voltage from the fluctuations of other state variables and preceding switching state information from converter dynamics. In order to validate and perform a proof-of-concept verification to the proposed control strategy, a 2 kW three-phase boost PFC prototype is designed and developed. The experimental results show that an input power factor of 0.995, a total harmonic distortion (THD) as low as 2.1%, a conversion efficiency of 97.8% and a tightly regulated DC link voltage with 1% ripple can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":280676,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC)","volume":"430 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122135769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
