Active Control of Torsional Vibration during Mode Switching of Hybrid Powertrain Based on Adaptive Model Reference
Abstract
When the energy management and coordinated control of the hybrid electric vehicle power system are not proper, torsional vibration problems will occur in various working states, especially in the mode switching process. These vibrations will affect the comfort, economy and emission of vehicles. In order to suppress the torsional vibration, this paper studied the active vibration control algorithm for the hybrid powertrains under the switching process of pure electric mode to hybrid mode. Primarily, the clutch combination process was divided into five stages and the dynamic models of the transmission system of each stage were established, respectively. Moreover, the principle of model reference adaptive control was analyzed. The applicability of the method to the torsional vibration of the driveline during mode switching was described. Furthermore, the clutch free displacement phase was used as the reference model. A model reference adaptive torsional vibration controller was built based on the controlled model. Finally, the efficacy of this active method for vibration reduction was simulated. The simulation results show that torsional vibration is most likely to occur in the speed coordination stage and the full participation stage. In these two stages, the designed controller can reduce the fluctuation of motor speed by 93.2% and 97.5%, respectively, the engine speed by 79.6% and 77.4%, respectively, the motor acceleration by 96.7% and 82.3%, respectively, and the engine acceleration by 88.9% and 82.3%, respectively. In addition, the controller can reduce the impact degree of the transmission system to within ±1 m/s3.
