For the coaxial power-split hybridpowertrainwith anHESS, onemore taskmust bedesigned—the energymanagement strategy of theHESS. The thermostatic control, the power follower control, and the optimal control [29] are the threemain control strategies for the serieshybridmodewhile theparallel electric assist control, the adaptive control, and the fuzzy logic control are normally used for the parallel hybridmode. Currently, the rule-based control, the filter control, themodel pre- dictive control, and the fuzzy logic control are the fourmain control strategies of anHESS to distribute thepowerdemandbetweenthebatteriesand thesupercapacitors. Investigations indicate that theperformanceof rule-basedcontrol strategycanapproach to that of the optimal control after optimization of the parameters of the rule-based control [30].
