A stochastic optimal energy management strategy considering battery health for hybrid electric bus

The problem of battery health coupled with energy management brings a considerable challenge to the hybrid electric bus. To address this challenge, three contributions are made to realize optimal energy management control while prolonging battery life. First, a semi-empirical aging model of lithium iron phosphate battery is built and identified by the data fitting method, based on the battery cycling test. Besides, a severity factor map is constructed by employing the proposed aging model to characterize the relative aging of the battery under different operating conditions. Second, to make the driver demand torque more appropriate for statistical prediction, a Markov chain is formulated to predict driving behavior and also a stochastic vehicle mass estimation method is proposed to assist the prediction of required torque. Then, a stochastic multi-objective optimization problem is formulated by taking the severity factor map as a battery degradation criterion, where minimized battery degradation and fuel consumption can be simultaneously realized. Finally, a stochastic model predictive control strategy that considers battery health is established. Both simulation and hardware-in-loop tests are performed. The results demonstrate that fuel economy and battery degradation can be improved by 16.73% and 13.8% compared with rule-based strategy, respectively.
