Multi-objective Optimization of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Powertrain Families Considering Variable Drive Cycles and User Types Over the Vehicle Lifecycle
Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicle (PHEV) technology has the potential to reduce operational costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and gasoline consumption in the transportation market. However, the net benefits of using a PHEV depend critically on several aspects, such as individual travel patterns, vehicle powertrain design and battery technology. To examine these effects, a multi-objective optimization model was developed integrating vehicle physics simulations through a Matlab/Simulink model, battery durability, and Canadian driving survey data. Moreover, all the drivetrains are controlled implicitly by the ADVISOR powertrain simulation and analysis tool. The simulated model identifies Pareto optimal vehicle powertrain configurations using a multi-objective Pareto front pursuing genetic algorithm by varying combinations of powertrain components and allocation of vehicles to consumers for the least operational cost, and powertrain cost under various driving assumptions.
Hybridization and Multi-objective Optimization of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), which share the characteristics of both a conventional HEV and an all-electric vehicle, rely on large storage batteries. Therefore, the characteristics and hybridization of the PHEV battery with the engine and electric motor play an important role in the design and potential adoption of PHEVs. In this research work, a multi-objective optimization approach is applied to compare the operational performance of Toyota Prius PHEV20 (PHEV for 20 miles of all electric range) based on fuel economy, operating cost, and green house gas emissions for 4480 combinations (20 batteries, 14 motors, and 16 engines). Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit software package automated with the Pareto Set Pursuing multi-objective optimization method is used for this purpose on two different drive cycles. It was found that 1) battery, motor, and engine work collectively in defining an optimal hybridization scheme; and 2) the optimal hybridization scheme varies with drive cycles.
Multi-objective Optimization of Plug-in HEV Powertrain Using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization
An increase in the awareness of environmental conservation is leading the automotive industry into the adaptation of alternatively fueled vehicles. Electric, Fuel-Cell as well as Hybrid-Electric vehicles focus on this research area with the aim to efficiently utilize vehicle powertrain as the first step. Energy and Power Management System control strategies play a vital role in improving the efficiency of any hybrid propulsion system. However, these control strategies are sensitive to the dynamics of the powertrain components used in the given system. A kinematic mathematical model for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has been developed in this study and is further optimized by determining optimal power management strategy for minimal fuel consumption as well as NOx emissions while executing a set drive cycle. A multi-objective optimization using weighted sum formulation is needed in order to observe the trade-off between the optimized objectives. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used in this research, to determine the trade-off curve between fuel and NOx. In performing these optimizations, the control signal consisting of engine speed and reference battery SOC trajectory for a 2-hour cycle is used as the controllable decision parameter input directly from the optimizer. Each element of the control signal was split into 50 distinct points representing the full 2 hours, giving slightly less than 2.5 minutes per point, noting that the values used in the model are interpolated between the points for each time step. With the control signal consisting of 2 distinct signals, speed, and SOC trajectory, as 50 element time-variant signals, a multidimensional problem was formulated for the optimizer. Novel approaches to balance the optimizer exploration and convergence, as well as seeding techniques are suggested to solve the optimal control problem. The optimization of each involved individual runs at 5 different weight levels with the resulting cost populations being compiled together to visually represent with the help of Pareto front development. The obtained results of simulations and optimization are presented involving performances of individual components of the PHEV powertrain as well as the optimized PMS strategy to follow for a given drive cycle. Observations of the trade-off are discussed in the case of Multi-Objective Optimizations.
