Abstract:

This paper describes the optimization of hybrid vehicles for maximum fuel efficiency and minimum emissions with performance constraints. The energy management subsystem, called the control strategy, is optimized. This work required coupling the commercial optimization system, VisualDOC, with the hybrid vehicle drive train simulation, ADVISOR.
