Game theoretic approach for electrified auxiliary management in high voltage network of HEV/PHEV

International audience; Auxiliary electrification becomes a potential solution to reduce the vehicle energy consumption. However, electrified auxiliaries operate mostly in individual way, non-cooperative in regardless of the vehicle state. In this paper, a new control strategy for electrified auxiliary system is proposed in order to improve the coordination among auxiliaries. This new control strategy is not only based on a game theoretic approach but also a model predictive control (MPC). In this approach, each electrified auxiliary is considered as a player participating in an energy consumption game, where players have incentive to cooperate and improve the global vehicle consumption. Simulation results on a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle show that this new control design provides a promising and simple approach to control the electrified auxiliary system.
