My research activities can be devided into two parts. The first one deals with control law development for Takagi Sugeno fuzzy models (TS) and in particular the observer synthesis. The main idea is to formulate stability conditions using Linear Matrix Inequalities that can be solved using convex optimization algorithm. The obtained conditions are usually pessimistic and the objective is to reduce this pessimism /Guelton 2003/, /Guerra & al. 2005/, /Guelton & al. 2006/.

Hybrid vehicle uses two energy sources for their propelling; one of them must be reversible.For thermal/electric hybrid vehicles, an Internal Combustion (IC) engine is coupled with one or more electric machines powered by a secondary energy source (battery and/or supercapacitor). Several mechanical arrangement have been investigated:parallel single shaft, series, power split, parallel/series, etc. Each arrangement can be characterised by the number of electric machine and also by the possible energy path from the tank and batteries to the wheels. An important parameter is the number of variable that can be freely chosen in order to fulfil the driver request.

The electric machines provide several additional functionalities such as IC engine stop&start, electric boost, kinetic energy recovery during braking phases, etc. It is therefore necessary to decide according to several parameters (battery state of charge, driver request, etc.) which part of the driver request is ensured by the IC engine and which part remains to the electric machine. Control strategies are algorithm that chooses at each sampling time the powertrain setpoints in order to minimize a criterion such as the fuel consumption and/or pollutant emissions.

When designing these algorithms, two cases should be considered. The first one deals with simulation on a priori known driving cycle. As causality is not a problem in simulation, optimal control over the considered horizon can be derived using optimal control theory. Even non causal, the obtained results can be used for powertrain sizing, for the evaluation of real-time control strategies. At last, these optimal control schemes embedded within a predictive framework can also be used for real time control. Several approaches have been investigated for the computation of an optimal control: dynamic programming, minimum principle and game theory.

The second case deals with real time control. Several approaches have been investigated. For example, fuzzy control algorithm allows easily implementing “expert” rules. As there is not much expert available to provide the required knowledge, these rules may be optimized using for example Genetic Algorithms. Another very popular control strategy is the Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy. It consists in defining an equivalent cost of the electrical energy in order to express the whole powertrain energy consumption in a unified manner. The most difficult point is then to define the “equivalent” factor between the fuel and the electric energy. Relationships with the minimum principle exist. At last, some strategies rely explicitly on the optimal control law obtained in simulation. One of the first approaches consists in extracting the “knowledge” contained in the simulation results using for example a neural network. At last, the optimal control algorithm based on the minimum principle can be embedded within a predictive framework for real time control of the powertrain. The difficulty is then to propose an efficient predictor. In our work, it has been shown that it is not necessary to predict the timer ordered sequence of the vehicle speed to solve the optimization problem over a prediction horizon. The prediction of the driving condition distribution can be used instead. The dynamics of the driving condition being slow (for example, when driving in cities, the vehicle behaviour is more or less constant and transition are only observed when the vehicle location is changing for example from urban to highway driving conditions). Thus a zero order prediction is used. The resulting control strategy has been tested on different vehicle or test benches. For example, during J. Bernard PhD thesis it has been tested on an hybrid fuel cell vehicle emulated on a test bench (collaboration with the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institut). During S. Kermani PhD thesis, the same kind of algorithm was adapted to a mild hybrid vehicle and tested on a full scale test bench (collaboration with the LTE INRETS in Bron).
