Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER SOURCE CONTROL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/131735
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Method and Apparatus for Power Source Control A method for generating an efficiency control map for controlling a power source of a hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The power source comprises a primary source of power and a secondary source of power. The method comprises determining, for a plurality of operating powers of the power source, power source efficiencies associated with a plurality of different operating conditions of the power source; selecting, in accordance with the determined power source efficiencies, for each of the plurality of operating powers, an operating condition of the plurality of operating conditions providing an optimum power source efficiency; and producing, in accordance with the selected optimum operating conditions, an efficiency control map designating the optimum operating condition for each of the plurality of operating powers.
