Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
This thesis details the development, implementation, and experimental testing of a supervisory energy management control strategy for the vehicle electrical system of a passenger car. The control strategy commands the alternator duty cycle such that vehicle fuel economy is optimized whilst the instantaneous load current demand is met and constraints on the system voltage and battery state of charge are satisfied. To this extent, Pontryagin's Minimum Principle (PMP) is utilized alongside a vehicle plant model in order to evaluate the behavioral characteristics of the vehicle electrical system subjected to optimal control. These observations are employed in the development of an adaptive, PMP-based supervisory strategy capable of real-time control. Experimental testing of the in-house developed control strategy, termed "A-PMP", is benchmarked against a baseline production control strategy, demonstrating consistent improvements in vehicle fuel economy.
