Abstract:

A non-power interrupt switching method was proposed based on a coordinated control of three power sources with analyzing of series and parallel driving modes for a dual-motor hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to realize a series-parallel switching control of the dual-motor HEV. The series-to-parallel switching process includes three stages: engine operating point transferring, clutch coupling, and power source switching. The parallel-to-series switching process includes three stages: power source switching, clutch opening, and engine operating point transferring. The results show that the vehicle tests at a speed of 80 km/h verify the control method, the series-to-parallel switching process lasts 1.76 s, the switching impact is less than 10 m/s 3. and the parallel-to- series switching process lasts 2.57 s, the switching impact is less than 5 m/s 3, and there is no power interruption during the whole switching process. Therefore, the series-parallel switching control method can be successfully implementedy.
