Analysis of Rules-Based Control Strategies for Integrated Starter Alternator Vehicles

One of the most important challenges in the design of ahybrid vehicle is the choice of the best control strategyfor energy management. This work analyzes anddiscusses five different rules-based strategies. Theauthors’ main targets were to understand how eachstrategy acts on the power split and how the operationpoints of both the Internal Combustion Engine andElectric Motor vary on efficiency maps. So, a criticalreview was produced of the strengths and weakness ofdifferent strategies found in scientific literature and out ofit grew two new control plans.
