Abstract

In a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the hybrid system, which is equipped with an engine and a motor, is a key component. However, given the multimode characteristics of HEV, the original extreme load of the engine or motor is not independent and the random variables cannot be directly fitted by the extreme value theory (EVT). Thus, this paper proposes a mode-decomposing application method (MDAM) using EVT. Based on the method, three typical distributions, including the Fréchet distribution, the Gumbel distribution, and the Weibull distribution, were combined as a unified expression, and it was adopted to fit the extreme loads within different modes of HEV. By comparing the fitting results, especially the shapes of the curves, the distributions of the load under different modes vary from each other, so the feasibility and necessity of MDAM in HEV are proved, and a new thought for fitting the extreme load in HEV is provided, which will contribute to improve the fitting accuracy.

Keywords: EVT, Extreme load, HEV, Load distribution, MDAM, Multimode operation.
