Modeling and Dynamic Response Analysis of a Compound Power-Split Hybrid Electric Vehicle During the Engine Starting Process

This study is aimed at revealing the dynamic response characteristics of a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) during the mode transition process with the engine starting. In this paper, for a hybrid powertrain system whose engine is directly connected to a compound power-split transmission, the equivalent lever method is first used to analyze the mode transition process with the engine starting. Then, based on the theoretical formulations and lookup tables, a dynamic model of the compound power-split HEV is established in detail, taking into consideration the engine ripple torque, battery-motor characteristics, dynamic meshing force between gears, and shaft spring-damping characteristics. The powertrain dynamic model is verified by a bench test. Moreover, taking the vehicle jerk and engine starting time as the evaluation indexes of the dynamic response characteristics, the influencing factors of the dynamic response characteristics in the engine starting process are analyzed comprehensively from the aspects of the engine, battery-motor, and engine starting condition. Finally, the engine starting process is synthetically optimized based on the obtained impact law of different influencing factors. The simulation results show that the synthesis optimization method can effectively reduce vehicle jerks and the engine starting time and improve driving comfort during the engine starting process.
