Hybrid power sources distribution management

摘要

A hybrid power source includes first and second energy inputs such as an electric motor (14) and an internal combustion engine (20). A power source strategy is implemented in which a cost function is constructed associated with various power distribution options to allows improved distribution of power. For a specific cost (z=constant), the total amount of energy is obtained by integrating during a normalised driving cycle the generating power against time. Thereby a look-up table energy/cost is created.
