Hierarchical-Energy Management Strategy for Range Extended Electric Delivery Truck

Abstract Details

2021, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The sector of parcel delivery is rapidly growing along with the consumers' shift towards E-commerce. The market for light- and medium-duty trucks is increasing at the same pace to balance out the demand. In the current scenario, the hybrid electric vehicles represent a viable solution for the challenges posed by the logistic industry, which demands efficient vehicles (less fuel consuming) to increase profits, and policymakers requiring cleaner fleets. Powertrain electrification in conjunction with optimization-based control of the advanced powertrains will play a significant role in achieving the desired high efficiency and low emissions. The energy optimization of a Class 6 Pick-up and Delivery truck with a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle configuration is investigated in this work. Specific performance criteria necessary for the particular driving mission of the truck are established. Dynamic Programming is used to determine the energy consumption strategy that optimally trades off between these multiple objectives. Based on the optimal solution a real-time implementable supervisory controller is developed that takes advantage of a locally optimal Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy and simple heuristics. Performance comparable to the optimal results is achieved using the proposed online strategy. In the end, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation is performed to test the real-time implementation of the controller.
