This book analyzes the main problems in the real-time
control of parallel hybrid electric powertrains in non-road applications that
work in continuous high dynamic operation. It also provides practical insights
into maximizing the energy efficiency and drivability of such powertrains.

It introduces an
energy-management control structure, which considers all the physical
powertrain constraints and uses novel methodologies to predict the future load
requirements to optimize the controller output in terms of the entire work
cycle of a non-road vehicle. The load prediction includes a methodology for
short-term loads as well as cycle detection methodology for an entire load
cycle. In this way, the energy efficiency can be maximized, and fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions simultaneously reduced.

Readers gain deep
insights into the topics that need to be considered in designing an energy and
battery management system for non-road vehicles. It also becomes clear that
only a combination of management systems can significantly increase the
performance of a controller.
