Predictive control strategy of nonlinear multivariate systems applied to hybrid powertrains
CDL for Innovative Control and Monitoring of Automotive Powertrain Systems is a multiple-year long cooperation between the TU Wien and AVL List GmbH in Graz. It consists of six research topics (including one topic in cooperation with the University of Ljubljana). This topic lies on the advanced flatness-based control concept for battery emulation.

Project description
Modern vehicles are mostly hybrid, i.e., composed of multiple energy sources and reservoirs, and integrate multiple electrified systems. Advanced control methods have to be found to control such multiple-inputs and multi-objectives systems. The CDL work focuses on splitting the control into multiple levels, the high-level controller for long term operating strategy and the low-level for components control. Taking advantage of the available vehicle predictive information is one of the key elements of the various centralized and distributed controllers developed in the CDL.
Finally, modularity of the proposed algorithm is crucial to develop strategy that can be reused for different vehicle applications, from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks, and with different powertrain components such as a fuel cell, a battery, an engine, emission aftertreatment systems, cooling units…
