Hybrid electric propulsion, using batteries for energy storage, is making significant inroads into railway transportation because of its potential for notable fuel savings and the related reductions in greenhouse gases emissions of hybrid railway traction over non-electrified railway lines. Due to the inherent complexity of hybridized powertrains, combining different power conversions and energy storage capabilities, the corresponding operation of their energy management needs to be precisely optimized in order to achieve the minimum possible fuel consumption. Having this in mind, this paper proposes a real-time energy management control strategy for a diesel–electric hybrid locomotive based on the optimization results obtained by means of a dynamic programming optimization algorithm aimed at fuel consumption minimization while honoring the battery state-of-charge constraints and powertrain physical constraints. The final optimization result, expressed in terms of the optimal battery state-of-charge reference (target), is used as an additional input into the state-of-charge controller within the real-time energy management system. The subsequent simulation analysis shows clear fuel economy improvement with 22.9% of fuel savings obtained for the locomotive featuring a hybrid powertrain equipped with batteries over the conventional one. |
