ECMS for energy management of hybrid vessels via quasi-LPV control

This work proposes a controller design that integrates an Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy framework and a quasi-LPV framework. The proposed scheme allows exploiting the characteristics of both frameworks. Also, a proof of the input-state-stability (ISS) of the closed-loop is presented, expressed as linearmatrix-inequality conditions...

Computational reduction of optimal hybrid vehicle energy management

Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle is a way of solving hybrid powertrain optimal energy management. This paper presents an improvement of a classical implementation. The core of this improvement consists in relaxing the tolerance on some intermediate steps of the algorithm in order to reduce the number of iterations and thereby reducing the...
