OPTIMISATION OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT USING MACHINE LEARNING

The focus of the research is on the optimization of the hybrid electric vehicle energy management using machine learning. The objective of this research is to develop the algorithm by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and to identify the optimal operation mode for SHEV based on the power demand use by using the algorithm. First of all, this research focus on the series hybrid electric vehicle and the vehicle used is an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Suitable formula will be used to complete the modeling of the vehicle in Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) form and the model constructed by using Matlab Simulink. Then, Support Vector Machine is used to optimize the energy management in the vehicle. The training data from New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycles (WLTC) with 3 classes will put be inside the SVM to undergo training and then the optimal operation modes for each driving cycle will be obtained by using Linear SVM. Then, the obtained results which are the predicted operation mode using the driving cycles and are plotted in the graph. The pattern of the graph is analyzed and then the best predicted operation mode with the highest accuracy among all the driving cycles is chosen. The trained model of the driving cycle with the highest accuracy is used to predict the optimal operation mode for ATV so that to have higher efficiency in energy management by using the Classification Learner inside the Matlab.
