About the Book:
This Springer Brief deals
with the control and optimization problem in hybrid electric vehicles. Given
that there are two (or more) energy sources (i.e., battery and fuel) in hybrid
vehicles, it shows the reader how to implement an energy-management strategy
that decides how much of the vehicle’s power is provided by each source instant
by instant.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles:
·
Introduces methods for modeling energy flow in hybrid electric
vehicles;
·
Presents a standard mathematical formulation of the optimal
control problem;
·
Discusses different optimization and control strategies for
energy management, integrating the most recent research results; and
·
Carries out an overall comparison of the different control
strategies presented.
Chapter
by chapter, a case study is thoroughly developed, providing illustrative
numerical examples that show the basic principles applied to real-world
situations. The brief is intended as a straightforward tool for learning
quickly about state-of-the-art energy-management strategies. It is particularly
well-suited to the needs of graduate students and engineers already familiar
with the basics of hybrid vehicles but who wish to learn more about their control
strategies. |
About the Authors:
Simona
Onori received her Laurea Degree, summa cum laude, (CSE)
in 2003, her M.S. (ECE) in 2004, her Ph.D. (Control Engineering) in 2007, from
University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA,
and University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’, respectively. She has been Assistant
Professor at Clemson University Automotive Engineering since August 2013 where
she also holds a joint apportionment with the Electrical and Computer
Engineering. She held visiting professor positions at University of Trento,
Italy (2014) and Polytechnic of Orleans, France (2016), and she was invited
lecturer at Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, (2015). Prior to joining
the Clemson University faculty, Dr. Onori was a research scientist at the
Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State University. Her background is in
control system theory and her current research interests are in ground vehicle
propulsion systems, including electric and hybrid-electric drivetrains, energy
storage systems, and after treatment systems. She is chair of the IEEE CSS
Technical Committee of Automotive Control, and vice-chair of IFAC Technical
Committee of Automotive Control. She is the recipient of the 2016 Energy
Leadership Award in the category Emerging Leader (for the Carolinas), the 2015
Innovision Award (South Carolina), 2012 Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award
by OSU College of Engineering and the TechColumbus 2011 Outstanding Technology
Team.
Giorgio Rizzoni is
the Ford Motor Company Chair in ElectroMechanical Systems and a Professor of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at The Ohio State University. He received
his BS, MS and PhD (all in Electrical and Computer Engineering) in 1980, 1982
and 1986 respectively, all from the University of Michigan. Since 1999, he has
been the Director of the Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research
(CAR), an interdisciplinary university research centre in the College of
Engineering. His research interests are in future ground vehicle propulsion
systems, including advanced engines, electric and hybrid-electric drivetrains,
advanced batteries and fuel cell systems. He is a Fellow of SAE (2005), a
Fellow of IEEE (2004), a recipient of the 1991 National Science Foundation
Presidential Young Investigator Award, and of several other technical and
teaching awards.
Lorenzo
Serrao is a lecturer and researcher
at IFP Energies nouvelles (Rueil-Malmaison, France), where he works on modeling
and control of hybrid electric vehicles. He received his MS in Mechanical
Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy) in 2003 and his PhD in
Mechanical Engineering from the Ohio State University (OSU) in 2009 with a
dissertation on control strategies for HEVs. During his studies at OSU, he was
affiliated with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR). His research
interests include energy management of electric and hybrid vehicles, powertrain
modelling and simulation, vehicle dynamics and modelling of battery
aging.
The experience of the authors in the area modeling
and control of hybrid electric vehicles is demonstrated by a rich
body of literature delivered over a decade of research in this field. |
