Model Predictive Iterative Learning Control for Energy Management of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A novel optimal energy management strategy (EMS) for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is proposed in this paper, which takes the battery health into consideration for prolonging its service life. The integrated control framework combines batch-wise iterative learning control (ILC) and time-wise model predictive control (MPC), referred to as 2D-MPILC. The major advantages of the proposed method are shown with better performance as well as faster convergence speed by taking into account the time-wise feedback control within the current batch. Then, the MPILC method is applied for the PHEV with the ability to make continuous period-to-period improvements. Its performances will approach dynamic programming (DP)-based method after a learning process with satisfying real-time processing capacity. The results in real-world city bus routines verify the effectiveness of the proposed EMS for greatly improving the performance of the PHEV.
