HYBRID POWER SYSTEM CONTROL AND OPERATING STRATEGY BASED ON POWER SYSTEM STATE VECTOR CALCULATION

Abstract:

Controlling a hybrid power system includes calculating a power system state vector based on energy demand and a stored data array including a matrix defined by a power system hardware configuration. The control further includes producing a power request based on the power system state vector, and varying a flow of energy amongst energy devices using drive linkages in the hybrid power system based on the power request. Related apparatus, control logic and controller structure is disclosed.
