1.介紹
減少車輛的廢氣排放一直是多年的研究目標(biāo),部分是迫于日益嚴(yán)格的環(huán)保立法。在1997年12月的第三屆締約方會(huì)議通過的“京都議定書”,旨在減少相比于1990年的溫室氣體排放量(GHG)平均水平的5%。2005年2月16日由俄羅斯批準(zhǔn)后生效。
作為一個(gè)用于減少溫室氣體排放,提高燃油經(jīng)濟(jì)性和能源效率的裝置,混合動(dòng)力系統(tǒng)正在受到關(guān)注。
混合驅(qū)動(dòng)汽車市場(chǎng)動(dòng)態(tài)的增長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)多年?,F(xiàn)代,有11個(gè)大型汽車制造商用于交付或深入發(fā)展混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)型的車輛。即使這些車商主要是專供乘用車部分,應(yīng)當(dāng)強(qiáng)調(diào)的是他們進(jìn)行了顯著的努力,從而實(shí)現(xiàn)了混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)卡車,送貨車和公交車[1,2]。
West Start-CALSTART[3],一個(gè)先進(jìn)的運(yùn)輸技術(shù)財(cái)團(tuán),在美國(guó)陸軍國(guó)家汽車中心(NAC)的支持下,組織一部分混合動(dòng)力卡車用戶論壇(HTUF?)計(jì)劃試點(diǎn)項(xiàng)目,以加快和協(xié)助混合商業(yè)化。根據(jù)制定的CAL-START的預(yù)測(cè),混合驅(qū)動(dòng)車的市場(chǎng)份額在2010年將達(dá)到約9%的增長(zhǎng),2020年將達(dá)到近18.5%的增長(zhǎng)。
還有重型機(jī)器和特殊用途車輛,都是實(shí)現(xiàn)混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)的解決方案可能出現(xiàn)的對(duì)象。但也有一些疑惑,該應(yīng)用程序在經(jīng)濟(jì)上是否是可行的。考慮到乘用車,在有關(guān)環(huán)保法規(guī)的制定下,需要重要的角色扮演“規(guī)模的影響”。在重負(fù)荷機(jī)器的情況下,高空作業(yè)平臺(tái)的挑選和攜帶移動(dòng)式起重機(jī)專用車輛的升降設(shè)備,應(yīng)考慮其在混合動(dòng)力解決方案中的應(yīng)用驅(qū)動(dòng)與操作制約和應(yīng)用。
在許多情況下,該類機(jī)械的工作條件強(qiáng)烈限制或甚至消除燃燒的應(yīng)用引擎。特別是封閉的空間領(lǐng)域,如工廠商店,倉(cāng)庫,本質(zhì)安全區(qū)等。當(dāng)前實(shí)現(xiàn)柴油 - 電力驅(qū)動(dòng),可大大推廣使用該種設(shè)備。另一方面,和其他用于加工的市政服務(wù)工程在人口高度密集的區(qū)域在夜間(街道噴霧器人士,垃圾車,電車的牽引網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)車輛等)的公共服務(wù)領(lǐng)域相比,是非常獨(dú)特的。經(jīng)常由市民報(bào)道,有關(guān)于服務(wù)項(xiàng)目問題的解決是關(guān)乎于柴油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)產(chǎn)生的噪聲的水平。
一個(gè)由瓦拉公司[4] 設(shè)計(jì)電池供電的起重機(jī)路線的例子,就如何滿足不斷增加的法規(guī)控制室內(nèi)起重作業(yè)時(shí)的環(huán)境條件,最近對(duì)混合解決方案將報(bào)盤延期。另一例子是由伊頓公司[5,6]研究的,用于高空作業(yè)平臺(tái)設(shè)備的中型卡車的混合動(dòng)力系統(tǒng)。伊頓公司從2007年8月開始使中型混合動(dòng)力系統(tǒng)的各種應(yīng)用商業(yè)化,例如一個(gè):電信和直轄市,城市配送,拒絕,城市公交大巴,挑選和攜帶等。
一種混合動(dòng)力車輛,被定義為一個(gè)具有一個(gè)以上的源功率。雖然幾種不同類型的混合解決方案雖已在過去被考慮,但目前仍在接受進(jìn)一步的廣泛研究,如混合動(dòng)力電動(dòng)汽車(HEV)[1],它使用的電動(dòng)機(jī)/發(fā)電機(jī)和電池組(或其他電存儲(chǔ)設(shè)備)和機(jī)械混合動(dòng)力汽車用飛輪來儲(chǔ)存能量?;旌弦簤旱能囕v(HHVs)[2],車輛加速時(shí)的制動(dòng)過程中它存儲(chǔ)捕獲的動(dòng)能,并將其存儲(chǔ)在液壓氣動(dòng)蓄能器并返回能量傳動(dòng)系統(tǒng)。各個(gè)不同結(jié)構(gòu)的混合驅(qū)動(dòng)器(串行和并行)開發(fā)[7,8]。
混合電力系統(tǒng)維護(hù)傳統(tǒng)的傳動(dòng)系體系結(jié)構(gòu),當(dāng)添加一個(gè)能夠提高發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)功率的電氣時(shí)。
該系統(tǒng)的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是它通常能夠恢復(fù)在制動(dòng)和儲(chǔ)存時(shí)丟失的能量,并存儲(chǔ)在電池中。存儲(chǔ)的能量被用于改善燃油經(jīng)濟(jì)性和車輛性,只能為給定速度或用于操作車輛的電力系統(tǒng)。
混合動(dòng)力傳動(dòng)系的控制比控制的ICE唯一的動(dòng)力傳動(dòng)系要復(fù)雜得多。首先,需要在五種可能的模式(只有電動(dòng)機(jī),僅發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī),動(dòng)力輔助,充電和再生)中確定最佳的操作模式。此外,當(dāng)動(dòng)力輔助模式或再充電模式被選擇,則發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)功率和電機(jī)功率需要進(jìn)行選擇,以達(dá)到最佳燃油經(jīng)濟(jì)性,電池充電的平衡性和可操作性。隨著增加的動(dòng)力傳動(dòng)系的復(fù)雜性和需要實(shí)現(xiàn)多個(gè)的目標(biāo),最常用的是采用兩級(jí)控制體系結(jié)構(gòu)[5]。
以下分析功率控制系統(tǒng)的優(yōu)化:功率效率因素,燃油消耗和排放量已給出[3,9,10]。調(diào)查主要集中在車輛制動(dòng)階段的動(dòng)能再生。
在本文中,設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)動(dòng)力管理控制系統(tǒng),被描述成是一個(gè)配有液壓高空作業(yè)平臺(tái)(AWP)設(shè)備的專用汽車的驅(qū)動(dòng)系統(tǒng)。AWP對(duì)該類型的車輛(被迫停止的占空比)處理應(yīng)認(rèn)真考慮負(fù)載勢(shì)能的可回收性[11,12]。
混合驅(qū)動(dòng)相比其他被提議的解決方案的主要優(yōu)點(diǎn)是它是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的驅(qū)動(dòng)架構(gòu)。它不同于已知的解決方案,那些廣泛適用于私家車。經(jīng)典方法(私家車)是需要完全重新設(shè)計(jì)動(dòng)力傳動(dòng)系統(tǒng)。創(chuàng)新的方法對(duì)于特殊用途的車輛,只需要擴(kuò)展經(jīng)典的ICE驅(qū)動(dòng)和擴(kuò)展單元。擴(kuò)展單元組成的電動(dòng)機(jī)加上液壓泵/馬達(dá)。該解決方案允許區(qū)分熱和電的功率流路徑借助于液壓子系統(tǒng)。然而,即使該解決方案不是簡(jiǎn)單的從功率流的角度出發(fā),它任需求先進(jìn)的控制系統(tǒng)策略。
兩層分層控制系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)在本文中被提到。較低的控制水平是被本地經(jīng)典的比例 - 積分 - 微分(PID)控制器所應(yīng)用建造的。一個(gè)更高的控制水平是周圍形成了一個(gè)模糊邏輯控制器(FLC),目的是對(duì)低水平本地控制器動(dòng)態(tài)設(shè)置控制規(guī)則。
2.目標(biāo)系統(tǒng)的特點(diǎn):
一個(gè)專業(yè)的汽車MONTRAKS的(圖1)打算利用市政通信服務(wù)維修和保養(yǎng)電車、有軌電車架空導(dǎo)線的系統(tǒng),以及組裝和拆卸的軌道部。
圖2結(jié)構(gòu)的混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)單元理念:X - 活塞桿的位移,V - 活塞桿速度,p1- 活塞式壓力,R 1 - 閥(8)的開關(guān)信號(hào),p2的 - 供應(yīng)壓力,R2 - 切換閥(7)的信號(hào)- EM轉(zhuǎn)速,U - 電池電壓,I - 電池電流,n2 - ICE轉(zhuǎn)速
通常,這種類型的車輛在設(shè)計(jì)的基礎(chǔ)上,為定期卡車的底盤配備了相應(yīng)的工作配件。該設(shè)備是建立在架空工作嵌入式平臺(tái)(AWP)(1)驅(qū)動(dòng)的動(dòng)臂(2)的端部的兩個(gè)液壓缸和液壓回轉(zhuǎn)馬達(dá)(3)的集合。除了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的道路上運(yùn)行的輪胎,這些車輛的主要特征是可能在軌道上繼續(xù)運(yùn)行。具有低速液壓馬達(dá)驅(qū)動(dòng)的額外的(4)軌道輪組實(shí)現(xiàn)了這一目標(biāo)。
常常,牽引網(wǎng)絡(luò)的維護(hù)和修理要耗時(shí)整晚,大都消耗在操作上。對(duì)于在維修工作的時(shí)間期間進(jìn)行的,該車輛被停放;代替發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)連續(xù)不斷地運(yùn)行,并且驅(qū)動(dòng)液壓泵供應(yīng)油給液壓設(shè)備。在這個(gè)執(zhí)行階段周期,工作設(shè)備的功率需求很低 - 值不超過3%,由于柴油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的額定功率[2] 接近它的低效率和重大排放量操作點(diǎn)的區(qū)域。同時(shí),柴油機(jī)還產(chǎn)生特別惱人的噪音。
上述缺點(diǎn)可以消除,例如通過引入額外的由一個(gè)電化學(xué)電池組成的電動(dòng)機(jī)(EM)。在這種情況下,ICE將提供機(jī)械動(dòng)力當(dāng)車輛偏移操作區(qū)域時(shí)。停車時(shí)車輛的動(dòng)力向EM以及可選的ICE工作設(shè)備索取,從而保持車輛平衡。

用于電機(jī)的能源供給的是一組電化學(xué)蓄能器(5)。驅(qū)動(dòng)設(shè)備單元的主要?jiǎng)恿υ词荅M。電動(dòng)機(jī)牽引參數(shù)由脈沖寬度調(diào)制器(6)控制。它可能扭轉(zhuǎn)電動(dòng)機(jī)運(yùn)行到發(fā)電機(jī)模式。EM運(yùn)行的液壓泵(3)供應(yīng)液壓傳動(dòng)系統(tǒng)。 ICE,選擇適當(dāng)?shù)墓ぷ鼽c(diǎn)進(jìn)行試轉(zhuǎn),成為第二液壓泵(2)。液壓油流量(2)和(3)在公共電源線上被添加在一起。液壓切換閥(7)和(8)重定向油流量在干線電源上通過,要么儲(chǔ)罐溢流到油箱閥或液壓缸下活塞的腔室(9)。活塞缸(9)控制仰角臂(10)和間接高空作業(yè)平臺(tái)部(11)的位置。很明顯,氣缸(9)控制負(fù)載的勢(shì)能Q從而影響平臺(tái)的提升或降低。
圖3 結(jié)構(gòu)的控制系統(tǒng),概念:sp xp -定位點(diǎn)的位置。光伏xp -實(shí)際值的位置;e xp -用位置控制誤差;sp vp -定位點(diǎn)取消或降低速度的實(shí)際工作壓力;光伏vp -實(shí)際價(jià)值,用速度;sp SOC -定位點(diǎn)的電池SOC;太陽能光伏電池SOC -實(shí)際價(jià)值的電池SOC;pv p1 -實(shí)際價(jià)值的壓力p1;光伏p2 -實(shí)際價(jià)值的壓力p2;OUT2 - PID控制器的輸出。
圖4 用隸屬函數(shù)的位置控制誤差
以下幾個(gè)階段是加以區(qū)別的占空比混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)單元:
?SPL階段 - 提升的AWP,
?SPD階段 - 較低的AWP,
?SPP階段 - 停車的AWP。
在SPL階段,由于氣缸(9)的活塞式運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)以及適當(dāng)?shù)牡鯒U上升運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn),油流的添加或分化從泵(2)和(3)發(fā)生。萬一流動(dòng)減少,一個(gè)泵流量的一部分會(huì)被引導(dǎo)到主電源線,所述提供一部分驅(qū)動(dòng)流量的泵(3)切換到電動(dòng)機(jī)模式。在SPD階段,油的流動(dòng)方向在主油壓供給線上發(fā)生變化,油運(yùn)行泵(3)和機(jī)械耦合的電動(dòng)馬達(dá)(4)。在這兩個(gè)階段中它可能供給汽缸(9)通過油供給泵(3)由電動(dòng)馬達(dá)(4)驅(qū)動(dòng)。電池充電(5)發(fā)生在SPP階段。在此階段中, AWP是被固定的,泵(3)是由石油供給給泵(2)所驅(qū)動(dòng)的。
3.控制策略
在一般情況下,功率控制策略的主要目標(biāo)是操作混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)時(shí)盡可能達(dá)到高的能源效率和低的排放量,同時(shí)保持指定車的輛性能[13]。控制系統(tǒng)的主要任務(wù)是最大限度地利用電力的混合動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)。MONTRAKS車輛的噪聲水平和經(jīng)濟(jì)運(yùn)行符合相對(duì)應(yīng)的具體要求。
這可以通過應(yīng)用被建議的功率控制戰(zhàn)略來實(shí)現(xiàn)。這一戰(zhàn)略是基于通過控制一組電池的電荷(SOC)的狀態(tài)從而操作AWP使其速度接近于所需的軌跡以及捕獲有效的再生能量。因?yàn)樗俏ㄒ豢赡艿?,SPL和SPD占空比的階段,應(yīng)使用電力驅(qū)動(dòng)。
SOC是目前電池充電時(shí)瞬間可能存儲(chǔ)在電池中最大比例的電荷。
t = T時(shí),可表示為:
;
其中:
Q(t0)= Q max的最大容量的電池中,SOC(t0)= 1,
i(t)的電池充電或充電電流。
同時(shí),一個(gè)電池組的SOC應(yīng)控制在最小的SOC和最大的SOC之間,從而有效的得到能源的再生制動(dòng),使能量最少的丟失和對(duì)電池組的壓力最小。最低和最高的SOC的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是根據(jù)電池吸收再生能量的能力,并重新啟動(dòng)交通工具系統(tǒng)所確定的。在一般情況下,最小的SOC標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和最大SOC標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之間的差異,在于電池更多的可再生能源能有效地吸收。然而,對(duì)于在SOC標(biāo)準(zhǔn)內(nèi)大跨度地操作可能會(huì)降低電池的使用壽命,同時(shí)受放電深度的影響。因此,SOC水平應(yīng)適當(dāng)?shù)卮_定在最佳的最小和最大之間的水平[SOC min, SOC max].??紤]到電池的充電和放電效率,本文的SOC范圍被設(shè)置為[0.3,0.8]。
發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和電動(dòng)機(jī)之間的流量分布可以通過驅(qū)動(dòng)反應(yīng)的程度(DOH)來確定:
其中:PICE - 發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的功率,PMOT - 電機(jī)功率。
合并后的電源管理/設(shè)計(jì)優(yōu)化問題可寫為如下:
在 SPL 和SPD 階段出現(xiàn)最大值DOH
其中:
XSP(T)所需的AWP軌跡
XPV(t)實(shí)際的AWP軌跡。
為這個(gè)目的所設(shè)計(jì)出的控制系統(tǒng)的結(jié)構(gòu)在圖3。
圖3示出的控制系統(tǒng)的結(jié)構(gòu)。該控制系統(tǒng)由兩個(gè)循環(huán):
- AWP的位置和速度的控制,
- 控制電池組的SOC。
每個(gè)回路可以控制電動(dòng)機(jī)控制器??刂菩盘?hào)是受邏輯單元管理。它的目標(biāo)是適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)刻供應(yīng)平穩(wěn)切換的控制信號(hào)。AWP控制系統(tǒng)用一個(gè)級(jí)聯(lián)結(jié)構(gòu)來定位和控制速度。模糊控制器處理AWP的速度。其是從實(shí)際的和需求的平臺(tái)位移來計(jì)算的。輔助控制器SP_vp的速度信號(hào),被美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)以經(jīng)典的PID控制器作為參考,把它與實(shí)際速度的平臺(tái)PV_sp相比。第二控制回路電池的SOC保持在預(yù)定義的限制范圍。這個(gè)循環(huán)是由PID控制器和邏輯單元組成的。 PID單元通過連續(xù)調(diào)節(jié)的液壓閥位置控制管理電池的充電水平。
3.1 AWP位置控制器
AWP控制器的開發(fā)是基于已經(jīng)開發(fā)的經(jīng)典的級(jí)聯(lián)控制器PID和控制器FLC。 FLC已經(jīng)被選中,因?yàn)槠溥m合控制的非線性,多領(lǐng)域的控制,并隨時(shí)間變化有多種不確定因素[3]的工廠。該控制器有兩個(gè)輸入:一個(gè)AWP(SP_xp-PV_xp)控制位置誤差,和一個(gè)AWP(PV_vp)測(cè)當(dāng)前速度。 FLC為PID控制器的電動(dòng)馬達(dá)計(jì)算AWP的速度SP_vp的定位值。
FLC[14]由三個(gè)基本的??的塊組成:模糊化,推斷和非模糊化??刂破鞯妮斎胧窃谀:龎K被統(tǒng)一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模糊化。事實(shí)上,模糊化把清晰的空間映射到模糊的空間。在這個(gè)過程中,對(duì)于適當(dāng)?shù)哪:担:衙總€(gè)鮮明的輸入信號(hào)的每個(gè)樣品被轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐唤M數(shù)字信號(hào)理解為這個(gè)樣本的隸屬度。 同一的模糊化標(biāo)準(zhǔn)輸入被供應(yīng)到一個(gè)推理機(jī)。 推理機(jī)是在模糊輸入,模糊邏輯規(guī)則和知識(shí)嵌入在規(guī)則庫中(圖6)進(jìn)行模糊輸出。該規(guī)則是根據(jù)相應(yīng)的知識(shí)或通過依靠資料學(xué)習(xí)或從真實(shí)的后天獲得或模擬實(shí)驗(yàn)建立起來的。模糊輸出從推理機(jī)被轉(zhuǎn)化成鮮明值通過依靠非模糊化程序。模糊化的過程中,專門三角形和梯形隸屬函數(shù)已被使用。每個(gè)模糊AWP速度控制器的輸入,都是依靠同一模糊化標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的7個(gè)隸屬函數(shù)的裝置來實(shí)現(xiàn)的(參見圖4和5)。
推理過程中應(yīng)用的規(guī)則庫描繪在圖 6。規(guī)則庫被設(shè)定定量的知識(shí)集??偣灿?9個(gè)規(guī)則已經(jīng)被FLC論證。對(duì)于清晰度,規(guī)則庫以彩色矩陣的形式顯示。每個(gè)條目的矩陣對(duì)應(yīng)于適當(dāng)?shù)哪:妮敵觯⊿P_vp);呈現(xiàn)在圖6的右側(cè)垂直條的形式 。
圖6 速度規(guī)則基于FLC使用,使用概念是表1中給出
傳統(tǒng)的重力中心[14]的方法已被應(yīng)用于模糊輸出的非模糊化。先進(jìn)的FLC的控制面已示于圖7中。正如上面提到的,從FLC輸出供應(yīng)到AWP的速率PID控制器。AWP的速率被控制輸入到后續(xù)的控制系統(tǒng),通過控制油壓泵(圖2)旋轉(zhuǎn)的速度。速度控制器的設(shè)置經(jīng)過精心調(diào)校,以確保非周期性過渡(不過沖),即使在分步激發(fā)的情況下(參見圖10和11)。
3.2 SOC控制器
線性PID控制器的已被應(yīng)用于控制電池的SOC(圖3)。SOC的實(shí)際值從Ep被連續(xù)地估算。(1)使用電池電流測(cè)量。一個(gè)額外的控制單元允許用于驅(qū)動(dòng)電動(dòng)液壓閥的線圈閥R1和R2。電動(dòng)液壓閥的控制信號(hào),用于獲得供應(yīng)壓力p2的測(cè)量,根據(jù)活塞壓力P1,以及電池的電流和電壓(I,U)。
在提升階段的AWP,所述的控制單元提供了的電動(dòng)液壓閥(7)和(8)的一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)募ぐl(fā)。結(jié)果,根據(jù)氣缸的滑閥腔的與主油壓供給線連接。后一個(gè)AWP要求的位置達(dá)到時(shí),閥(8)朝著它的中間位置驅(qū)動(dòng),這將完成的平臺(tái)的移動(dòng)。在這里,內(nèi)燃機(jī)燃燒的能量可用于電池充電。在電池充電階段,充電控制器還在控制壓合液壓缸的滑閥腔室。這防止不愉快情況,AWP的意外震搖所導(dǎo)致的負(fù)載變化。電動(dòng)液壓閥(7)將切換到位置,引導(dǎo)油從泵(2)到油箱在達(dá)到所要求的電池充電水平之后。
從低級(jí)階段的平臺(tái)開始,控制單元再次切換閥(7),均衡的供應(yīng)和根據(jù)活塞油的壓力。緊隨其后,閥(8)將被切換成上下移動(dòng)的平臺(tái)。勢(shì)能平臺(tái)在這一運(yùn)動(dòng)期間被轉(zhuǎn)換成電的形式,并用于電池充電。

The development process i.e. assumptions, construction, simulations and analysis of a control strategy for thehybrid drive of the vehicle mounted aerial work platform is presented in the paper. Particular attention ispaid to the development of the control system strategy ensuring appropriate energy recuperation by makinguse of energy stored in the electrochemical form. The control strategy is built up around the concept of bilevelhierarchic control system. The elevation control of the aerial work platform is assumed as the primarygoal of the control system. The secondary goal of the control system is formulated in terms of tracking andkeeping the charging level of the rechargeable electrochemical accumulator in predefined limits. A control system simulation model is developed in Matlab-Simulink environment. Exemplary results of control system simulations are shown on the example of a hydraulic power unit driving aerial work platform mounted on
special vehicle MONTRAKS.
1. Introduction
The reduction of vehicle emission has been an objective of research for many years; partly it is forced by increasingly stringent environmental legislation. The Kyoto protocol, whichwas adopted at the COP3in December 1997, is aimed to decrease the green house gas emissions(GHG) by an average of 5% referring to 1990 levels. It came into force on February 16, 2005 following its ratification by Russia.
Hybrid systems are now gaining attention as a means for reducing GHG emissions by improving fuel economy and energy eficiency.
Market for hybrid driven vehicles is growing up dynamically sincemany years. Contemporary, eleven large car manufacturers use to deliver or to intensively develop hybrid driven vehicles. Even that is mainly focusing on passenger cars segment, it should be stressed that the remarkable effort is undertaken to implement hybrid drives in the trucks, delivery vans and buses [1,2].
WestStart-CALSTART [3], an advanced transportation technologies consortium, supported by U.S. Army National Automotive Center(NAC), organized the pilot program as part of its Hybrid Truck Users Forum (HTUF?) program, to speed up and to assist hybrid commercialization. According to the forecasts elaborated by CALSTART,the hybrid driven trucks market share will grow reaching ca 9% in 2010 and near 18.5% in 2020.
Still heavy duty machines and special purpose vehicles are the object of possible implementation for hybrid drive solution. However there are some doubts, if that application is economically feasible.Considering passenger cars,in respect of environmental regulations,important role plays the “effect of the scale”. In case of heavy duty machines, aerial work platforms, pick and carry mobile cranes or special vehicles with lift equipment, the application of hybrid solution is driven with operating constrains and application.
For many cases, working conditions for that class of machinerystrongly limits or even eliminates the application of combustion engines. In particular that is case of closed space areas such as factory shops, warehouses, intrinsically safe zones, etc. Here the implementation of diesel-electric drives could considerably extend possible use of that kind of equipment. Very unique and on the other side common area of services is municipal services and works used to be processed during night in the highly populated zones (street sprayer-sweepers,garbage trucks, tramway traction networks service vehicles, etc.). It is often reported by municipalities, that the issue to be solved for that services is the level of noise generated by diesel engine.
An example on how to meet the ever-increasing regulations controlling environmental conditions during indoor lifting operations is the battery powered cranes line designed by Valla Corporation [4],which recently extended the offer for hybrid solution. Another example is a hybrid system investigated by Eaton Corporation [5,6]for medium trucks with optional aerial work platform equipment.Eaton began commercializing its medium-duty hybrid system in August 2007 in a wide variety of applications such a: telecommunications and municipality, city delivery, refuse, city transit bus, pick andcarry and so on.
A hybrid vehicle is defined as one that has more than one source of power. Several different types of hybrid solutions have beenconsidered in the past and are still undergoing extensive research,

such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) [1], which use a motor/generator and battery packs (or other electrical storage devices) and mechanical hybrids which use flywheels to store energy. Hybrid Hydraulic Vehicles (HHVs) [2], which store kinetic energy captured during braking events and store it in hydro-pneumatic accumulators and return energy to driveline during vehicle acceleration. Various different structures of hybrid drives (serial and parallel) have been developed. [7,8]
The hybrid electric system maintains conventional drive train architecture while adding the ability to enhance engine power withelectrical one.
One feature of this system is its ability to recover energy normally lost during braking and store the energy in batteries. The stored energy is used to improve fuel economy and vehicle performance for a given speed or used to operate the vehicle with electric power only.
The control of hybrid power trains is more complicated than the control of ICE only power train. First, one needs to determine the optimal operating mode among five possible modes (motor only,engine only, power assist, recharge, and regenerative). Furthermore,when the power assist mode or the recharge mode is selected, the enginepower and motor power needs to be selected to achieve optimal fuel economy, battery charge balance, and operability. With the increased power train complexity and the need to achieve multiple objectives, most often a two-level control architecture is adopted [5].

The analysis of power control systems optimizing: power efficiency factors, fuel consumption and emissions has been given in[3,9,10]. Investigations have been mainly focused on the possibility of kinetic energy recuperation in the phase of vehicle braking.
In this paper, the design of a power management control system isdescribed for a hybrid drive system of special purpose vehicle with hydraulic aerial work platform (AWP) equipment. For that type of vehicles (stop-and-go duty cycles) the potential energy of the load being handled with AWP should be seriously considered as recyclable [11,12].
The major advantage of the proposed hybrid drive over othersolutions is a simple drive architecture. It differs from known solutions, thosewidely used in personal cars. The classic approach (personal cars) needs full redesign of power transmission system. The innovative approach for the special purpose vehicles requires only extension of classic ICE drive with extension unit. Extension unit is composed of electricmotor coupledwith hydraulic pump/motor. That solution allows to differentiate the power flowbetween the thermal and electrical path with help of hydraulic subsystem. However, even that solution is not straightforward from the point of view of power flow, it demands for advanced control system strategies.
Two-layer hierarchical control system architecture is considered in this paper. A lower control level is built by application of local classic proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. A higher control level is developed around a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with the intention of dynamically setting out control rules for lower level local controllers
2. Characteristics of the target system
A specialized automotive vehicle MONTRAKS (Fig. 1) is intended for repairing and maintenance of tram and trolley-bus overhead wire system, assembling and disassembling of rail track sections and is exploited by the municipal communication services.
Such types of vehicles are usually designed on the bases of regular trucks undercarriage equipped with appropriate working accessories. The equipment is built up around the aerial work platform (AWP) (1) embedded at the end of the boom (2) driven by the set of two hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic swing motor (3).Besides a standard road running on the tires, the major feature of these vehicles is the possibility to move on rail run. That is achieved with additional set of rail wheels (4) which are driven with low speed hydraulic motors.As often as not, maintenance and repairing of the traction networks take place throughout the night, and these are time consuming operations. For the period of the time that repair work is carried out, the vehicle is parked; instead of the engine is continuously running and driving the hydraulic pump which is used to supply oil to the hydraulic equipment. In this phase of duty cycle, a power demand from the working equipment is low — does not exceed 3% value of engine rated power [2], due to that the diesel operation point approaches the regions of its low efficiency and significant emissions. Simultaneously, the diesel generates particularly bothersome noise.
Disadvantages mentioned above may be eliminated for instance by introducing an additional electric motor (EM) powered by an electrochemical battery pack. In this case, the ICE will deliver
mechanical power when the vehicle moves from/to its operation area. While parking the vehicle's power demand from the working equipment will be balanced from the EM and optionally from the ICE.
The structure of discussed hybrid drive is shown in Fig. 2
Energy for the motor is supplied from a set of electrochemicalaccumulators (5). The primary power source of the equipment drive unit is the EM. Motor traction parameters are controlled by the pulse width modulator (6). It is possible to reverse the motor's operation into generator mode. The EM runs the hydraulic pump (3) supplying the hydraulic actuation system. The ICE, running in the appropriate chosen operating point, drives the second hydraulic pump (2).Hydraulic oil flows frompumps (2) and (3) are added together in the common supply line. Hydraulic switching valves (7) and (8) redirect the oil flow in the main supply line either to the tank via overflow valve or to the under piston chamber of the hydraulic cylinder (9).The piston stemof the cylinder (9) controls the elevation angle of the boom (10) and indirectly the position of AWP (11). It is obvious that the control of the cylinder (9) influences the potential energy of load Q while the platform is lifting or lowering.
The following phases are to be distinguished in the duty cycle of the
hybrid drive unit:
? SPL phase — lifting of the AWP,
? SPD phase — lower of the AWP,
? SPP phase — parking of the AWP.
In SPL phase, as a result of movements of the cylinder's (9) piston and appropriate boom lifting movements, the addition or differentiation of oil flows from pumps (2) and (3) takes place. In case of subtraction of flows, one part of the pump flow (2) is directed to the main supply line and the reminder part of flow drives the pump (3) switched into motor mode. In SPD phase, the direction of oil flow in the main hydraulic supply line changes, oil runs the pump (3), and the mechanically coupled electric motor (4). In both phases it is possible to supply cylinder (9) by the oil delivered by the pump (3) driven by electric motor (4). Charging a battery (5) occurs in the SPP phase. In this phase, the AWP is fixed, and the pump (3) is driven by oil provided by the pump (2).

3. Control strategy
In general, the main objective of the power control strategy is to operate the hybrid drive with possible high energy efficiency and low emissions while maintaining specified vehicle performance [13].Maximal use of electric power is the main task of the hybrid drive control system. This corresponds with specific requirements for noise level and economic operation of MONTRAKS vehicle.This can be achieved by applying of the proposed power control strategy. This strategy is based on operation of AWP velocity closed to required trajectory and effectively capturing of the regenerative energy by controlling the state of charge (SOC) of a battery. As it is only possible,the electric drive should be used in SPL and SPD phases of duty cycle.SOC is the ratio of present charge of a battery to the maximum charge that can be possibly stored in the battery and in time instantt=T may be expressed as:
;
where:Q(t0)=Qmax maximal capacity of the battery, SOC(t0)=1,i(t) battery charging or recharging current.Meanwhile, the SOC of a battery should be controlled between a minimum SOC and a maximum SOC to obtain regenerative braking energy effectively with the least amount lost and stress on the battery.The minimum and maximum SOC levels are determined according to
the ability of a battery to absorb regenerative energy and to restart vehicle systems. In general, the larger the difference between the minimum SOC level and the maximum SOC level, the more regenerative energy a battery can effectively absorb. However, the larger span of operating SOC levels may reduce the battery's life, which is affected by the depth of discharge. Hence, the SOC levels should be appropriately determined between optimal minimum and maximum levels [SOCmin, SOCmax]. Considering the battery charging and discharging efficiency, the SOC range is set to [0.3, 0.8] in this paper. The power flow distribution between engine and electric motor may be defined through degree of hybridization (DOH) of the drive:
where: PICE — engine power, Pmot — motor power.
The combined power management/design optimization problem can be written as follows:
where:
XSP(t) 2 desired AWP trajectory
XPV(t) 2 actual AWP trajectory.
A structure of the proposed control system for this purpose is given in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 shows the structure of the control system. The control system consists of two loops:
— control of the AWP position and velocity,
— control of the SOC of battery pack.
Each loop may control electric motor controller. Control signals are governed by the logic unit. It is aimed to provide smooth switching of control signal for appropriate time instants. Control system for AWP positioning and velocity control has a cascade structure. Fuzzy controller processes the velocity of the AWP. It is calculated from the real and desired platform displacement. Velocity signal from the auxiliary controller SP_vp is fed as the reference to the classic PID controller and it is compared with actual velocity of the platform PV_sp. The second control loop keeps the SOC of battery in predefined limits. This loop consists of PID controller and logic unit. PID unit controls the level of charge of the battery through continuous adjustment the hydraulic valves positioning.
Fig. 5. Membership functions of the AWP velocity.
3.1. AWP position controller
A controller of the AWP has been developed based on the cascade of classic PID controller and FLC. The FLC has been chosen because of its suitability for control of nonlinear, multiple-domain, and timevarying plant with multiple uncertainties [3]. This controller has two inputs: a control error of the AWP postion (SP_xp?PV_xp), and acurrent velocity of the AWP (PV_vp). The FLC calculates setpoint value of the AWP velocity SP_vp for the PID controller of the electric motor.
The FLC [14] consists of three basic blocks: fuzzyfication, inference and defuzzyfication. Inputs of the controller are fuzzyfied in the fuzzyfication block. In fact, fuzzification maps the space of crisp values onto the space of fuzzy ones. In this process, each crisp sample of each input signal is transformed into the set of numbers interpreted as the membership degrees of this samples to the appropriate fuzzy values (fuzzy sets). Fuzzyfied inputs are fed to an inference machine. The inference machine makes fuzzy outputs based on: fuzzy inputs, fuzzy logic rules and knowledge embedded in the rule base (Fig. 6). The rule base is created based on the appropriate knowledge or by means of learning from data or is acquired from real or simulation experiments. Fuzzy output from the inference machine is transformed into the crisp value by means of defuzzyfication procedure. Exclusively the triangle and trapezoidal membership functions have been used in the process of fuzzyfication. In fuzzy AWP velocity controller each input was fuzzyfied by means of seven membership functions (see Figs. 4 and 5).
The rule base applied for the inference process is depicted in Fig. 6. Rule base is assumed as the set of quantitative knowledge. A total of 49 rules have been formulated for the FLC. For the clarity, the rule base is displayed in the form of colored matrix. Every entry to the matrix corresponds with the appropriate fuzzy output (SP_vp); that is presented in the form of vertical bar in the right side of Fig. 6. Conventional, center of gravity [14] method has been applied for the defuzzyfication of fuzzy output. A control surface of developed FLC has been presented in Fig. 7. As mentioned above, the output from the FLC is fed to the AWP velocity PID controller. Velocity of the AWP is controlled in the follow-up control system by controlling rotational speed of the hydraulic pump (Fig. 2). Settings of the velocity controller have been carefully tuned to ensure aperiodic transition (without overshoots) even in case of stepwise excitation (see Figs. 10 and 11).
3.2. SOC controller
The linear PID controller has been applied for the control of the battery's SOC (Fig. 3). The actual value of SOC is continuously estimated fromEq. (1) making use of the measurements of the battery current. An additional control unit allows for driving the coils of electro-hydraulic valves R1 and R2. Control signals for the electro-hydraulic valves are obtained from the measurements of supply pressure p2, under piston pressure p1, and current and voltage (I, U) of the battery.
Fig. 6. The rule base of the AWP velocity FLC. Notion used is given in Table 1.
Fig. 7. Control surface of the FLC.
In the lifting phase of the AWP, the control unit delivers an appropriate excitation for the electro-hydraulic valves (7) and (8). In outcome, the under piston chamber of the cylinder is connected with the main hydraulic supply line. After a demanded position of the AWP is reached, the valve (8) will be driven towards its neutral position, which will finish the movement of the platform.
Here, the energy of the combustion motor may be used for battery charging. In the battery charging phase, the charging controller controls also the pressure in the under piston chamber of the hydraulic cyli
