Energy management strategies for vehicular electric power systems

23 May 2005-IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)-Vol. 54, Iss: 3, pp 771-782
TL;DR: An extensive study on controlling the vehicular electric power system to reduce the fuel use and emissions, by generating and storing electrical energy only at the most suitable moments is presented.
Abstract: In the near future, a significant increase in electric power consumption in vehicles is expected. To limit the associated increase in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, smart strategies for the generation, storage/retrieval, distribution, and consumption of electric power will be used. Inspired by the research on energy management for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), this paper presents an extensive study on controlling the vehicular electric power system to reduce the fuel use and emissions, by generating and storing electrical energy only at the most suitable moments. For this purpose, both off-line optimization methods using knowledge of the driving pattern and on-line implementable ones are developed and tested in a simulation environment. Results show a reduction in fuel use of 2%, even without a prediction of the driving cycle being used. Simultaneously, even larger reductions of the emissions are obtained. The strategies can also be applied to a mild HEV with an integrated starter alternator (ISA), without modifications, or to other types of HEVs with slight changes in the formulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed two approaches, namely, feedback controllers and ECMS, which can lead to system behavior that is close to optimal, with feedback controllers based on dynamic programming.
Abstract: Global optimization techniques, such as dynamic programming, serve mainly to evaluate the potential fuel economy of a given powertrain configuration. Unless the future driving conditions can be predicted during real-time operation but the results obtained using this noncausal approach establish a benchmark for evaluating the optimality of realizable control strategies. Real-time controllers must be simple in order to be implementable with limited computation and memory resources. Moreover, manual tuning of control parameters should be avoided. This article has analyzed two approaches, namely, feedback controllers and ECMS. Both of these approaches can lead to system behavior that is close to optimal, with feedback controllers based on dynamic programming. Additional challenges stem from the need to apply optimal energy-management controllers to advanced HEV architectures, such as combined and plug-in HEVs, as well as to optimization problems that include performance indices in addition to fuel economy, such as pollutant emissions, driveability, and thermal comfort

TL;DR: In this article, an optimal power management mechanism for grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems with storage is presented, where the structure of a power supervisor based on an optimal predictive power scheduling algorithm is proposed.
Abstract: This paper presents an optimal power management mechanism for grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems with storage. The objective is to help intensive penetration of PV production into the grid by proposing peak shaving service at the lowest cost. The structure of a power supervisor based on an optimal predictive power scheduling algorithm is proposed. Optimization is performed using Dynamic Programming and is compared with a simple ruled-based management. The particularity of this study remains first in the consideration of batteries ageing into the optimization process and second in the “day-ahead” approach of power management. Simulations and real conditions application are carried out over one exemplary day. In simulation, it points out that peak shaving is realized with the minimal cost, but especially that power fluctuations on the grid are reduced which matches with the initial objective of helping PV penetration into the grid. In real conditions, efficiency of the predictive schedule depends on accuracy of the forecasts, which leads to future works about optimal reactive power management.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of EMS evolution toward blended mode (BM) and optimal control is presented, providing a thorough survey of the latest progress in optimization-based algorithms and highlights certain contributions that intelligent transportation systems, traffic information, and cloud computing can provide to enhance PHEV energy management.
Abstract: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) offer an immediate solution for emissions reduction and fuel displacement within the current infrastructure. Targeting PHEV powertrain optimization, a plethora of energy management strategies (EMSs) have been proposed. Although these algorithms present various levels of complexity and accuracy, they find a limitation in terms of availability of future trip information, which generally prevents exploitation of the full PHEV potential in real-life cycles. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of EMS evolution toward blended mode (BM) and optimal control, providing a thorough survey of the latest progress in optimization-based algorithms. This is performed in the context of connected vehicles and highlights certain contributions that intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), traffic information, and cloud computing can provide to enhance PHEV energy management. The study is culminated with an analysis of future trends in terms of optimization algorithm development, optimization criteria, PHEV integration in the smart grid, and vehicles as part of the fleet.

TL;DR: This paper uses stochastic dynamic programming to optimize PHEV power management over a distribution of drive cycles, rather than a single cycle, thereby systematically exploring the potential benefits of controlled charge depletion over aggressive charge depletion followed by charge sustenance.
Abstract: This paper examines the problem of optimally splitting driver power demand among the different actuators (i.e., the engine and electric machines) in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Existing studies focus mostly on optimizing PHEV power management for fuel economy, subject to charge sustenance constraints, over individual drive cycles. This paper adds three original contributions to this literature. First, it uses stochastic dynamic programming to optimize PHEV power management over a distribution of drive cycles, rather than a single cycle. Second, it explicitly trades off fuel and electricity usage in a PHEV, thereby systematically exploring the potential benefits of controlled charge depletion over aggressive charge depletion followed by charge sustenance. Finally, it examines the impact of variations in relative fuel-to-electricity pricing on optimal PHEV power management. The paper focuses on a single-mode power-split PHEV configuration for mid-size sedans, but its approach is extendible to other configurations and sizes as well.

Abstract: The leading and most up-to-date textbook on the far-ranging algorithmic methododogy of Dynamic Programming, which can be used for optimal control, Markovian decision problems, planning and sequential decision making under uncertainty, and discrete/combinatorial optimization. The treatment focuses on basic unifying themes, and conceptual foundations. It illustrates the versatility, power, and generality of the method with many examples and applications from engineering, operations research, and other fields. It also addresses extensively the practical application of the methodology, possibly through the use of approximations, and provides an extensive treatment of the far-reaching methodology of Neuro-Dynamic Programming/Reinforcement Learning.
