Abstract
In this paper, the optimal design of a multi-speed transmission system in terms of gear ratio, number of gears and gear shifting strategy is investigated for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle. The design procedure starts with the optimization of the transmission configuration to identify the optimal gear ratios for a specified number of gears. In order to avoid solving a complex co-optimization problem that involves numerous control variables for hybrid powertrain energy management (EM), gear ratios and gear shifting, the gear ratio optimization is properly decoupled from the co-optimization problem, while the optimal gear shifting strategy for the optimized gear ratios is determined jointly with the powertrain EM. The separation of the co-optimization makes it possible to solve individual problems by dynamic programming (DP), which guarantees global optimality. To show the impact of optimally designed and controlled transmission on fuel savings, the fuel economy solution of the proposed scheme is compared with the traditional EM and gear shifting optimization method that applies non-optimized gear ratios. Simulation examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and show the fuel savings incurred by the configuration optimization of the multi-speed transmission system.
