Abstract

The development of energy-saving vehicles is an important measure to deal with environmental pollution and the energy crisis. On this basis, more accurate and efficient energy management strategies can further tap into the energy-saving potential and energy sustainability of vehicles. The equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) has shown the ability to provide a real-time sub-optimal fuel efficiency performance. However, when taking the different market prices of fuel and electricity cost as well as battery longevity cost into account, this method is not very accurate for total operational economic evaluation. So, as an improved scheme, the instantaneous cost minimization strategy is proposed, where a comprehensive cost function, including the market price of the electricity and fuel as well as the cost of battery aging, is applied as the optimization objective. Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy for series-parallel hybrid electric buses can reduce costs by 41.25% when compared with the conventional engine-driven bus. The approach also impressively improves cost performance over the rule-based strategy and the ECMS. As such, the proposed instantaneous cost minimization strategy is a better choice for hybrid electric vehicle economic evaluation than the other main sub-optimal strategies.
