OASys is an interdisciplinary project between Computer and Engineering Sciences to develop online algorithms for the optimal control of hybrid propulsion systems. Hybrid propulsion systems consist of at least two kind of propulsion systems. The control of hybrid propulsion systems should combine the engines in such a way that the required driving force is achieved while the overall energy consumption is minimized. We consider parallel hybrid cars that are equipped with a combustion and an electrical engine.
Our approach combines optimization methods from the areas of control theory and artificial intelligence with online learning. Offline generated control laws for the optimal control are selected online such that a nearly optimal control strategy is built dynamically. Mathematical models and realistic simulations are used for the evaluation of our control strategies.
