Original Kurzfassung:
Commonly, the control of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is focused on efficiency
maximization by distributing engine and electrical machine power. The only state to be
considered in such an optimization is the battery charge. In certain situations such as cold
starts in winter additional aspects gain importance. Passenger safety and comfort require
sufficient heating of the cabin which drains thermal energy from the engine. Moreover, exhaust
aftertreatment systems must be heated up fast in order to comply with emission limits. This
becomes even more critical for short-haul cold start scenarios. In this paper, we propose
a possible solution based on an online model predictive controller (MPC) to balance fuel
consumption and emission minimization with thermal management which is shown to provide
significant emission reduction compared to purely powertrain centered approaches.
