Modeling and control of hybrid powertrain for heavy duty vehicles

This thesis focuses on the modeling and control of hybrid powertrains for heavy-duty vehicles. A comprehensive dynamic model of the powertrain is developed, accounting for the interaction between the internal combustion engine, electric machines, energy storage system, and transmission. Control strategies for power split, energy management, and drivability optimization are investigated under representative operating conditions. The study aims to improve fuel efficiency, emissions, and overall system performance, providing guidelines for the design and control of hybrid architectures in heavy-duty applications.
