Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHVs) have become a major topic of interest in the automotive industry owing to recent energy supply and environmental problems. Several types of power management strategies have been developed to improve the fuel economy of FCHVs including optimal control strategy based on optimal control theory, rule-based strategy, and equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS). The ECMS is applied in this study. This strategy is based on the heuristic concept that the usage of the electric energy can be exchanged to equivalent fuel consumption. This strategy is known as one of the promising solutions for real-time control of hybrid vehicles. The ECMS for an FCHV is introduced in this paper as well as the equivalent fuel consumption parameter. The relationship between the battery final state of charge (SOC) and the fuel consumption while changing the equivalent fuel consumption parameter is obtained for three different driving cycles. The function of the equivalent fuel consumption parameter is also discussed.

In this paper, operation algorithms for a parallel HEV equipped with a relatively small motor are investigated. For the HEV, the power assist and the equivalent fuel algorithms are proposed. In the power assist algorithm, an electric motor is used to assist the engine which provides the primary power source. Tn the equivalent fuel algorithm, the electric energy stored in the battery is considered to be an equivalent fuel, and an equivalent brake specific fuel consumption for the electric energy is proposed. From the equivalent fuel algorithm, distribution of the engine power and the motor power is determined to minimize the fuel consumption for a given battery state of charge (SOC) and a required vehicle power. It is found from the simulation results that the fuel economy and the final battery SOC depend on the motor discharge energy and it is the best way to charge the battery only by the regenerative braking, not by the engine to improve the overall fuel efficiency of the HEV with the relatively small motor.

친환경 및 연비에 대한 요구와 제한은 하이브리드 차량과 같은 친환경 고연비 차량기술을 발전시켜왔다. 하이브리드 차량의 연비는 시스템의 특성으로 인해 주행 후 배터리 충전량의 변화를 연비에 반영시키는 등가연료사용량이 연료소비량에 추가되므로 제어전략에서 배터리 사용영역 증가만으로 연비를 향상시킬 수 없었다. 본 논문은 연료전지 하이브리드 차량을 matlab simulink상에서 모델링하고 기존제어전략에서 연료전지의 사용구간을 분석하여 연료전지 주 사용영역에서의 배터리와 연료전지 간 동력분배를 연비향상을 목표로 최적화하여 등가연료사용량을 포함한 총연비의 향상을 시도하였다.

Operating points of a fuel cell system (FCS) can be shifted to its high-efficiency region by hybridization in a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV), so the hydrogen can be saved. In this paper, the hydrogen consumption of an FCHV is compared to that of a fuel cell vehicle (FCV). A power management strategy is applied to the FCHV and the related simulation is carried out. The concept of equivalent hydrogen consumption is introduced in order to consider the effect of the difference between initial and final battery SOC on the total hydrogen consumption.

This study estimates Korea's livestock energy consumption and GHG emissions from Korean livestock sector. The results show that livestock energy consumption in 2013 is 474 thousand TOE, 19.0% of total energy consumption in agriculture sector. It is estimated that GHG emission of fuel combustion from livestock sector is 956 thousand tons of $CO_2$ equivalent while a total of 4,589 thousand tons of $CO_2$ equivalent is emitted from agriculture sector. The livestock GHG emission as a proportion of the total agriculture GHG emissions (20.8%) is higher than the livestock energy consumption as a proportion of agriculture energy consumption (19.0%). This is because coal and petroleum consumption in livestock sector as a proportion of the total livestock energy consumption is higher than that in agriculture sector.

In Korea, five major ports have been designated as sulfur oxide emission control areas to reduce air pollutant emissions, in accordance with Article 10 of the "Special Act on Port Air Quality" and Article 32 of the "Ship Pollution Prevention Regulations". As regulations against vessel-originated air pollutants (such as PM, CO2, NOx, and SOx) have been strengthened, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries(MOF) enacted rules that newly built public ships should adopt eco-friendly propulsion systems. However, particularly in diesel-electric hybrid propulsion systems,the demand for precise control schemes continues to grow as the fuel saving rate significantly varies depending on the control strategy applied. The conventional Power Take In-Power Take Off(PTI - PTO) mode control adopts a rule-based strategy, but this strategy is applied only in the low-load range and PTI mode; thus, an additional method is required to determine the optimal fuel consumption point. The proposed control method is designed to optimize fuel consumption by applying the equivalent consumption minimization strategy(ECMS) to the PTI - PTO mode by considering the characteristics of the specific fuel oil consumption(SFOC) of the engine in a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. To apply this method, a specific fishing vessel model operating on the Korean coast was selected to simulate the load operation environment of the ship. In this study, a 10.2% reduction was achieved in the MATLAB/SimDrive and SimElectric simulation by comparing the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the ship to which the conventional rule-based strategy was applied and that to which the ECMS was applied.

To minimize the fuel consumption in the hybrid vehicle, the single performance index, which can express the fuel consumption in engine and electric energe consumption in battery system at the same time, is required. In this study we proposed a single performance index with equivalent BSFC concept, and with this, we constructed driving control algorithm, which can determine optimal gear ratio and power split ratio of the engine and the motor, for the parallel hybrid vehicle. Additionally, to verify the validity of this algorithm, driving simulation is performed.

벨트 구동 방식의 소프트 하이브리드 자동차에 적용될 TAS(Torque Assist System)의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 가속 성능과 연비 성능이 기존 차량보다 우수하여야 한다. 엔진, 모터, 그리고 배터리와 같은 벨트 구동 TAS의 핵심 구성 요소들은 자동차 연비 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 전체 시스템 관점에서의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 핵심 동력원들을 제어하는 동력 분배 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 등가 연료 관점에서 통일된 해석 방법을 적용한 연료 소모량을 최소화하는 동력 분배 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘이 차량의 상태 정보 및 요구 동력을 고려한 구속 조건을 만족하면서 엔진의 연료소모량을 최소화하는 제어 변수들을 통해 연비 성능을 높이는 데 기여하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안한 운전 전략의 최적화 과정은 연구 개발 과정에서 시행 착오를 줄일 수 있고 제어 변수들의 특성을 빠르고 정확하게 관찰할 수 있다. 따라서 연료 소모량을 최소화하는 운전 전략을 도출해내는 방법으로 활용 가능하다.

본 연구에서는 Markowitz (1952)의 평균-분산 모형과 지배원리에 입각하여 원유, 석탄, 천연가스로 대표되는 화석에너지원의 최적 소비조합을 구축하려 하였다. 이를 위해 1달러당 열량으로 정의된 화석에너지원들의 편익변동을 동태은닉공통인자 모형을 이용하여 동행부분과 개별 에너지원의 특이적 수급상황에 기초한 변동으로 분해한 후, 그 결과에 기초하여 최적 화석에너지원의 최적 소비조합을 구성하였다. 분석결과, 평균-분산 모형에서 최적 소비조합을 의미하는 효율적 프론티어 선상의 소비조합들에서는 사회적으로 도달 가능한 최저 수준의 원유소비 비중을 유지하면서 석탄보다는 천연가스의 소비비중을 높여야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 현재 우리나라에서 추구하고 있는 원유 및 석탄의 소비비중 축소전략과도 일치하는 결과라 할 수 있으며, 원유소비의 비중축소가 화석에너지원의 소비로부터 얻을 수 있는 편익향상과 함께 편익변동에 따르는 경제활동의 불안정성을 축소시킬 수 있는 방법임을 지적하는 것이라 할 수 있다.

The hybrid electric powertrain is a robust solution that allows for major improvements in both fuel economy and emission reduction. In the present study, a through-the-road hybrid vehicle model with an electric motor driving the rear axle and an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) driving the front axle has been constructed. We then present a systematic method for the determination of a real time applicable optimal Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for a hybrid road vehicle. More precisely, we compare the performance of rule-based EMS strategies to an optimization-based strategy, namely ECMS (Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy). The comparison is conducted in parallel with a parameterization of the size of the internal combustion engine and the implementation of a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that allows following the line of best fuel economy. For the FTP-75 driving cycle, the constrained engine On-off control algorithm is shown to offer a 28% improvement potential of fuel consumption compared to the conventional internal combustion engine while the ECMS strategy achieves an improved potential of nearly 33%.
