Energy Management in a Dual-Drive Hybrid Powertrain 2009-01-1329

Ford Motor Company has developed a full hybrid electric vehicle with a dual-drive hybrid powertrain configuration that has great potential to overcome some attribute deficiencies in existing hybrid powertrain architectures. This paper first provides an overview of the dual-drive hybrid electric vehicle architecture and its primary operating modes. The paper then presents the energy management control system that selects operating modes and desired powertrain operating points to improve fuel efficiency. Finally, experimental results from a dual-drive hybrid prototype vehicle are used to demonstrate the fuel efficiency improvement.
