A new, systematic approach to determine the global energy optimum of a hybrid…

Abstract Hybridization is one of the key technologies to reduce the fuel consumption of a vehicle with internal combustion engine (ICE) significantly. Using at least one electric motor (EM), the kinetic energy of the vehicle can be recuperated and the ICE can operate more efficiently. The control strategy (CS) coordinates the torque of the ICE and the EM. If the driving cycle is known, the co…
