Abstract:In order to improve the fuel economy and control strategy stability of HEVs, taking the third-generation Prius hybrid electric vehicle as the research object, an equivalent fuel consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) and a deep reinforcement learning method ( DRL) combined hierarchical energy management strategy. The simulation results show that the hierarchical control strategy can not only enable the agent in reinforcement learning to achieve adaptive energy-saving control without model, but also ensure that the SOC of the hybrid vehicle meets the constraints under all operating conditions. Compared with the rule-based energy management strategy, this layered control strategy can improve the fuel economy by 20.83%-32.66%; increasing the prediction information of the vehicle speed by the agent can further reduce the fuel consumption by about 5.12%; Compared with the deep reinforcement learning strategy of this strategy can improve the fuel economy by about 8.04%; compared with the A-ECMS strategy using SOC offset penalty, the fuel economy under this strategy will be improved by 5.81%-16.18%.
