`
`Unlike the series hybrid drive train, the parallel hybrid drive train has
`features that allow both the engine and traction motor to supply their
`mechanical power in parallel directly to the driven wheels. The major
`advantages of parallel configuration over a series configuration are (1) gen-
`erator is not required, (2)
`the traction motor is smaller, and (3) multi—
`conversion of the power from the engine to the driven wheels is not nec-
`essary. Hence, the overall efficiency can be higher.5 However, the control of
`the parallel hybrid drive train is more complex than that of a series hybrid
`drive train, due to the mechanical coupling between the engine and the
`driven wheels.
`
`There are several possibilities for configurations in a parallel hybrid drive
`train, as mentioned in Chapter 5. But the design methodology for one par—
`ticular configuration may be not applicable to other configurations and the
`design result for a particular configuration may be applicable for only a
`given operation environment and mission requirement. This chapter will
`focus on the design methodology of parallel drive trains with torque
`coupling, which operate on the electrically peaking principle; that is, the
`engine supplies its power to meet the base load (operating at a given

`
`constant speed on flat and mild grade roads, or at the average of the load of
`a stop—and-go driving pattern) and the electrical traction supplies the power
`to meet the peaking load requirement. Other options, such as a mild hybrid
`drive train, are discussed in Chapter 9.
`The base load is much lower than the peaking load in normal urban and
`highway driving, as mentioned in Chapter 5. This suggests that the engine
`power rating is lower than the electrical traction power rating. Due to the
`better torque—speed characteristics of the traction motor compared to
`the engine, the single-gear transmission for the traction motor might be the
`proper option. Thus, this chapter will focus on the design of the drive train
`as shown in Figure 8.1.
`The design objectives are:
`
`1. To satisfy the performance requirements (gradeability, acceleration,
`and maximum cruising speed)
`2. To achieve high overall efficiency
`3. To maintain the battery state-of-charge (SOC) at reasonable levels
`in the whole drive cycle without charging from Outside the vehicle
`4. To recover the brake energy.

`
`8.1 Control Strategies of Parallel Hybrid Drive Train
`
`The available operation modes in a parallel hybrid drive train, as mentioned
`in Chapter 5, mainly include (1) engine-alone traction, (2) electric-alone trac—
`tion, (3) hybrid traction (engine plus motor), (4) regenerative braking, and
`(5) peaking power source (PPS) charging from the engine. During operation,
`the proper operation modes should be used so as to meet the traction torque
`requirement, achieve high overall efficiency, maintain a reasonable level of
`PPS SOC, and recover braking energy as much as possible.4
`The overall control scheme consists of two levels. A vehicle system level
`controller (a high-level controller) functions as a control commander and
`gives torque commands to low-level controllers (local or component con-
`trollers) based on the operator's command, component characteristics, and
`feedback information from the components. The low-level controllers (local
`or component controllers), such as the engine controller, motor controller,
`and transmission controller in a multigear transmission, control the corre-
`sponding components to make them operate properly.
`The overall control scheme of the parallel hybrid drive train is schemati-
`cally shown in Figure 8.2. It consists of a vehicle controller, engine controller,

`
`electric motor controller, and mechanical brake controller. The vehicle con-
`troller is in the highest position. It collects data from the driver and all the
`components, such as desired torque, vehicle speed, PPS SOC, engine speed
`and throttle position, electric motor speed, etc. Based on these data, compo-
`nent characteristics, and preset control strategy, the vehicle controller gives
`its control signals to each component controller/local controller. Each local
`controller controls the operation of the corresponding component to meet
`the requirements of the drive train.
`The vehicle controller plays a central role in the operation of the drive
`train- The vehicle controller should fulfill various operation modes -—
`according to the drive condition and the data collected from components
`and the driver’s command — and should give the correct control command
`to each component controller. Hence, the preset control strategy is the key to
`the optimum success of the operation of the drive train.
`
`8.1.1 Maximum State-of-Charge of Peaking Power Source (Max. SOC-of-
`PPS) Control Strategy
`
`When a vehicle is operating in a stop-and-go driving pattern, the PPS must
`deliver its power to the drive train frequently. Consequently, the PPS tends
`to be discharged quickly. In this case, maintaining a high SOC in the PPS is
`necessary to ensure vehicle performance. Thus, the maximum SOC of the
`PPS control strategy may be the proper option.2
`The maximum control strategy can be explained by Figure 8.3. In this figure,

`are plotted against vehicle speed. Power demands in different conditions are
`also plotted, represented by points A, B, C, and D.
`The operation modes of the drive train are explained below:
`Motor-alone propelling mode: The vehicle speed is less than a preset value
`m, which is considered to be the bottom line of the vehicle speed below
`which the engine cannot operate steadily. In this case, the electric motor
`alone delivers its power to the driven wheels, while the engine is shut down
`0r idling. The engine power, electric traction power, and the PPS discharge
`power can be written as

`drive wheels, 772,»: is the transmission efficiency from the motor to the driven
`wheels, Pm is the power output of the electric motor, PW“f is the PPS dis-
`charge power, and nm is the motor efficiency.
`Hybrid propelling mode: The load power demand, represented by point A in
`Figure 8.3, is greater than what the engine can produce, both the engine and
`electric motor must deliver their power to the driven wheels at the same
`time. This is called hybrid propelling mode. In this case, the engine opera-
`tion is set on its optimum operation line by controlling the engine throttle to
`produce power Pa. The remaining power demand is supplied by the electric
`motor. The motor power output and PPS discharge power are

`PPS charge mode: When the load power demand, represented by point B in
`Figure 8.3, is less than the power that the engine can produce while operat-
`ing on its optimum operation line, and the PPS SOC is below its top line, the
`engine is operated on its optimum operating line, producing its power PE. In
`this case, the electric motor is controlled by its controller to function as a gen-
`erator, powered by the remaining power of the engine. The output power of
`the electric motor and PPS charge power are

`
`Engine-alone propelling mode: When the load power demand (represented
`by point B in Figure 8.3) is less than the power that the engine can produce
`while operating on its optimum operation line, and the PPS SOC has reached
`its top line, the engine-alone propelling mode is used. In this case, the elec-
`tric system is shut down, and the engine is operated to supply the power that
`meets the load power demand. The power Output Curve of the engine with
`a partial load is represented by the dashed line in Figure 8.3. The engine

`
`Regenerative—alone brake mode: When the vehicle experiences braking and the
`demanded braking power is less than the maximum regenerative braking
`power that the electric system can supply (as shown in Figure 8.3 by point
`D), the electric motor is controlled to function as a generator to produce a
`braking power that equals the c0mrnanded braking power. In this case, the
`engine is shut down or set idling. The motor power output and PPS charge
`power are
`
`Pmb : ant,mTlm!
`
`PW}c = Pmb.
`

`
`(8.12)
`
`Hybrid braking mode: When the demanded braking power is greater than the
`maximum regenerative braking power that the electric system can supply
`(as shown in Figure 8.3 by point C), the mechanical brake must be applied.
`In this case, the electric motor should be controlled to produce its maximum
`regenerative braking power, and the mechanical brake system should han-
`dle the remaining portion. The motor output power, battery charging power,
`and mechanical braking power are
`
`Pm = Pmb’mnm,
`
`PW5,2P,,,.
`
`(8.13)
`
`(8.14)
`
`It should be noted that for better braking performance, the front forces on
`the front and rear wheels should be proportional to their normal load on the
`wheels. Thus, braking power control will not be exactly that mentioned
`above (for more details, see Chapter 11). The control flowchart of the Max.
`SCO-of-PPS is illustrated in Figure 8.4.

`
`Similar to that used in a series hybrid drive train, the engine turn—on and
`tum-off control strategy may be used in some operation conditions with low
`speed and low acceleration. In an engine—on—off control strategy, the opera—
`tion of the engine is controlled by the SOC of PPS, as shown in Figure 8.5.
`In the engine-on period, the control is Max. SOC—of-PPS strategy. When
`the SOC of the PPS reaches its top line, the engine is turned off and the vehi-
`cle is propelled only by the electric motor. When the SOC of the PPS reaches
`its bottom line, the engine is turned on and the control again goes into Max.

`
`8.2 Design of Drive Train Parameters
`
`The parameters of the drive train such as engine power, electric motor power,
`gear ratios of transmission, and power and energy capacity of the peaking
`power source are key parameters, and exert a considerable influence on vehi-
`cle performance and operation efficiency. However, as initial steps in the
`design, these parameters shOuld be estimated based on performance require-
`ments. Such parameters should also be refined by more accurate simulations.
`In the following sections, the parameters of a passenger car are used in the
`calculations. These parameters are vehicle mass M”: 1500 kg, rolling resist-
`ance coefficient f,=0.01, air density p,= 1.205 kg/m3, front area Af =2.0 m2,
`aerodynamic drag coefficient CD = 0.3, radius of driven wheels r= 0.2794 In,
`and transmission efficiency from engine to drive wheels The: 0.9, and from
`motor to drive wheels Tim = 0.95.
`
`8.2.1
`
`Design of Engine Power Capacity
`
`The engine should be able to supply sufficient power to support the vehicle
`operation at normal constant speeds both on a flat and a mild grade road
`without the help of the PPS. At the same time, the engine should be able to
`produce an average power that is larger than the average load power when
`the vehicle operates with a stop-and-go operating pattern.
`As a requirement of normal highway driving at constant speed on a flat or
`a mild grade road, the power needed is expressed as
`
`5— 1000mm (Mugfr-l- 2 paCDAfV +Myg1)(kw).

`
`Figure 8.6 shows the load powers of a 1500 kg example passenger car, along
`with vehicle speed, on a flat road and a road with 5% grade. It is seen that
`on a flat road, a speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) needs a power of 42 kW. For
`a comprehensive analysis, the power curves of a 42 kW engine with a multi-
`gear transmission are also plotted in Figure 8.6. From Figure 8.6, it can also
`be seen that on a 5% grade road, the vehicle can reach a maximum speed of
`about 92 and 110 km/h with the fourth gear and third gear, respectively.
`The above—designed engine power should be evaluated so that it meets the
`average power requirement while driving in a stop-and—go pattern. In a
`drive cycle, the average load power of a vehicle can be calculated by

`
`The average power varies with the degree of regenerative braking. The two
`extreme cases are the full and zero regenerative braking cases. Full regenera-
`tive braking recovers all the energy consumed in braking and the average
`power is calculated by (8.16). However, when the vehicle has no regenerative

`braking, the average power is larger than that with full regenerative braking,
`which can be calculated from (8.16) in such a way that when the instanta—
`neous power is less than zero, it is given a zero.
`Figure 8.7 shows the vehicle speed, instantaneous load power, and aver-
`age powers with full regenerative braking and zero regenerative braking, in
`some typical drive cycles for a 1500 kg passenger car.
`In the engine power design, the average power that the engine can produce
`must be greater than the average load power. In a parallel drive train, the engine
`is mechanically coupled to the driven wheels. Hence, the engine rotating speed
`varies with the vehicle speed. On the other hand, the engine power with full
`throttle varies with engine rotating speed. Thus, the determination of the engine
`power to meet the average power in a drive cycle is not as straightforward as in
`a series hybrid, in which the engine operating can be fixed. The average power
`that the engine can produce with full throttle can be calculated as
`._ r T
`Pater-ace“ T In Pd”) dtr
`
`(817)
`
`where T is the total time in drive cycles and Pe(v) is the engine power with
`full throttle, which is a function of vehicle speed when the gear ratio of the
`transmission is given, as shown in Figure 8.6.
`The possible operating points of the engine with full throttle and the max-
`imum possible average powers in some typical drive cycles are shown in
`Figure 8.8, in which the maximum engine power is 42 kW and transmission
`is single gear (fourth gear only in Figure 8.6). Comparing these maximum
`possible average powers to the load average powers, as shown in Figure 8.7,
`it is concluded that the engine power is sufficient to support a vehicle oper-
`ating in these typical drive cycles.

`8.2.2 Design of Electric Motor Drive Power Capacity
`
`In HEV, the major function of the electric motor is to supply peak power to
`the drive train. In the motor power design, acceleration performance and
`peak load power in typical drive cycles are the major concerns.3
`It is difficult to directly design the motor power from the acceleration per-
`formance specified. It is necessary to make a good estimate based on speci-
`fied acceleration requirements, and then make a final design through
`accurate simulation. As an initial estimate, one can make the assumption
`that the steady-state load (rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag) is han-
`dled by the engine and the dynamic load (inertial load in acceleration) is
`handled by the motor. With this assumption, acceleration is directly related
`to the torque output of an electric motor by

`For a 1500 kg passenger car with a maximum speed of 160 km/h, a base speed
`of 50 km/h, a final acceleration speed of 100 km/h, acceleration time ta=10
`sec, and 6", = 1.04, the power rating of the electric motor is '74 kW (Figure 8.9).
`It should be noted that the motor power obtained above is somewhat
`overestimated. Actually, the engine has some remaining power to help the
`electric motor to accelerate the vehicle as shown in Figure 8.6. This fact is
`also shown in Figure 8.10, in which vehicle speed, engine power with full
`throttle, resistance power (rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, and power
`losses in transmission), and single-gear transition are plotted along the accel-
`eration time. The average remaining power of the engine, used to accelerate

`is clear from Figure 8.6 that a multigear transmission will effectively increase
`the remaining power at the driven wheels, thus reducing the motor power
`required for acceleration.

`vehicle performance, mainly maximum speed, gradeability, and accelera-
`tion. The maximum speed and gradeability can be obtained from the dia-
`gram of tractive effort and resistance vs. vehicle speed. This diagram can be
`made by using the methods discussed in Chapter 2.
`The diagram (as shown in Figure 8.11) shows the design results of an exam-
`ple passenger car. It indicates that the vehicle at 100 km/h has a gradeability
`of 4.6% (265°) for the engine-alone mode, 10.36% (591°) for the motor-alone
`mode, and 18.14% (1028") for the hybrid mode (engine plus motor).
`Figure 8.12 shows the acceleration performance for the passenger car
`example. It indicates that 10.7 sec are used and 167 m are covered for accel-
`erating the vehicle from zero speed to 100 km/h.
`
`8.2.3
`
`Transmission Design
`
`Since the electric motor supplies the peak power and has high torque at low
`speed, single-gear transmission between the electric motor and the driven
`wheels can produce sufficient torque for hill climbing and acceleration (refer
`to Figure 8.11). However, a multigear transmission between the engine and
`driven wheels can indeed enhance the vehicle performance.
`The use of multigear transmission, as shown in Figure 8.6, can effectively
`increase the remaining power of the engine. Consequently, the vehicle per-
`formance (acceleration and gradeability) can be improved. On the other hand,
`the energy storage can be charged with the large power of the engine. The
`vehicle fuel ec0nomy can also be improved, since the use of proper gears of
`the mulfigear transmission allows the engine to operate closer to its optimal
`speed region. Furthermore, the large remaining power of the engine can
`quickly charge the energy storage from low SOC to high SOC.1

`
`However, multigear transmission is much more complex, heavier, and larger
`than single-gear transmission. Moreover, it also needs a complicated gear shift-
`ing control. Thus, in the design of parallel HEV, some trade-offs must be made.
`
`8.2.4
`
`Energy Storage Design
`
`The energy storage design mainly includes the design for the power and
`energy capacity. The power capacity design is somewhat straightforward.
`The terminal power of the energy storage must be greater than the input
`electric power of the electric motor, that is,
`
`P
`p 2—”-
`5
`37m ’
`
`(3.21)
`
`where Pm and n,” are the motor power rating and efficiency.
`The energy capacity design of the energy storage is closely associated with
`the energy consumption in various driving patterns — mainly the full load
`acceleration and in typical drive cycles.
`During the acceleration period, the energies drawn from energy storage
`and the engine can be calculated along with the calculation of the accelera-
`tion time and distance by

`Emg= J; Peat,
`where E, and Ems are the energy drawn from the energy storage and the
`engine, respectively, and Pm and P2 are the powers drawn from the motor
`and engine, respectively. Figure 8.13 shows the energies drawn from the
`energy storage and the engine in the period of acceleration along the vehicle
`speed for the example passenger car. At an end speed of 120 km/h, about 0.3
`kWh energy is drawn from the energy storage.
`The energy capacity of the energy storage must also meet the requirement
`while driving in a stop-and-go pattern in typical drive cycles. The energy
`changes of the energy storage can be obtained by

`where PM and P5,, are the charging and disaharging power of the energy stor-
`age. With a given control strategy, the charging and discharging power of the
`energy storage can be obtained by drive train simulation.
`Figure 8.14 shows the simulation results of the example passenger car in an
`FTP 75 urban drive cycle with maximum SOC control strategy. It can be seen that
`the maximum energy change in the energy storage is about 0.11 kWh, which is
`less than that in full load acceleration (0.3 kWh). Thus, the energy consumption
`in fuel load acceleration determines the energy capacity of the energy storage.
`Actually, not all the energy stored in the energy storage can be fully used
`to deliver sufficient power to the drive train. In the case of batteries used as
`the energy storage, low SOC will limit their power output, and will at the
`same time lead to a low efficiency, due to an increase of internal resistance. In
`the case of ultracapacitors used as the energy storage, low SOC will
