MUMBAI, India, Oct. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202431030928 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Kharagpur, West Bengal, on April 17, 2024, for 'method and process of adaptive energy management of hybrid electric vehicles for a trip.'
Inventor(s) include Susenjit Ghosh; and Siddhartha Mukhopadhyay.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 24, under issue no. 43/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a hierarchical and modular implementation of trip level energy management strategy of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) which comprises an engine with an Engine Control Unit (ECU), a motor with a Motor Control Unit (MCU) connected with a Transmission and a Battery with Battery Management System (BMS). Hierarchical implementation leads to a computationally tractable solution which results into a realizable real-time implementation. Moreover, the strategy makes the existing control adaptive towards dynamically changing factors like vehicle loading, traffic behavior and drive characteristics. This makes it applicable for a wide variety of drive scenarios. The modular implementation approach to address the issues raised by the individual dynamic factors leads to an implementation architecture, which can be offered in the form of various embodiments depending on the necessary cost-performance tradeoff. Therefore, the invented implementation not only helps to achieve a near-optimal performance under dynamic changing environments in terms of loading, road-tyre interaction, driver aggressiveness, traffic dynamics etc., but also helps to scale it for hybrid vehicles having different sizes and architectures. The implementation of the invented strategy is computationally feasible to implement on-board to achieve higher fuel efficiency and driving range."
