Power Flow Control
• Due to variations in HEV configurations, different
power control strategies are necessary to regulate the
power flow to or from different components. All the
control strategies aim satisfy the following goals:
1. Maximum Fuel Efficiency
2. Minimum Emissions
3. Minimum system cost
4. Good Driving Performance
Power flow control in Series HEV
• In series HEV there are four mode of operations based on
power flow.
Mode I: During startup, normal driving or acceleration of the
series HEV, both the ICE and battery deliver electrical energy to
the power converter which then drives the electric motor and
hence the wheels via transmission. As shown in fig. 1.
Contd..
Mode II: At light load, the ICE output is greater than
that require to drive the wheels. Hence, a fraction of the
generated electrical energy is used to charge the battery.
Contd..
Mode III: During braking or deceleration, the electric
motor acts as a generator which converts the KE of the
wheels into electricity and this is used to charge the
battery.
Contd..
Mode IV: The battery can also be charged by the ICE
via the generator even when the vehicle come to
complete stop.
Power flow control in Parallel HEV
• In parallel HEV there are four mode of operations based on
power flow.
Mode I: During startup or throttle acceleration; both the ICE and
EM share the required power to propel the vehicle. Typically, the
relative distribution between the ICE and EM is 80-20%.
Contd..
Mode II: During normal driving, the required traction
power is supplied by the ICE only and the EM remains
in OFF mode.
Contd..
Mode III: During breaking or deceleration, the EM acts
as a generator to charge the battery via the power
converter.
Contd..
Mode IV: Under light load condition, the traction power
is delivered by the ICE and the ICE can also charge the
battery.
Power flow control in Series-Parallel HEV
• In Series-Parallel HEV there are six mode of operations based
on power flow.
Mode I: During startup the battery solely provides the necessary
power to propel the vehicle and the ICE remains in off mode.
Mode-II: During full throttle acceleration both the ICE and EM
share the required traction power.
Mode-III: During normal driving the required traction power is
provided by the ICE only and EM remain in OFF state.
Mode-IV: during normal breaking or deceleration the EM acts as
a generator to charge the battery.
Contd..
Mode V: To charge the battery during driving the ICE
delivers the required traction power and also charges the
battery. In this mode the EM acts as generator.
Mode-VI: When the vehicle is at standstill the ICE can
deliver power to charge the battery via the EM.
