Abstract:

A robust particle swarm optimization (PSO) scheme for the development of energy management strategy for hybrid vehicles was proposed based on digital twin. By incorporating global cross-validation with local particle swarm optimization, the proposed scheme aimed to achieve more reliable optimization for energy management. First, a digital twin model for the hybrid vehicle was built based on the chassis dynamometer test data and an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was then developed for real-time energy management. By introducing the concept of control utility, which evaluated the vehicle energy efficiency with a penalty factor of battery usage, the robust particle swarm optimisation scheme was deployed to optimize the hyper parameters of the ANFIS controller. The optimization performances were evaluated through experiment based on the hardware-in-the-loop testing platform under worldwide driving cycles including JC08, WLTC, and UDDS. Compared to conventional particle swarm optimisation, the proposed robust particle swarm optimization can achieve more than 11% higher control utility value in both learning cycles and testing cycles and improve the fuel economy by up to 27.92%.
