Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: determining a machine shaft torque demand and a machine shaft speed; in response to the machine shaft torque demand and the machine shaft speed, determining a machine power demand; determining a hybrid power train configuration of an internal combustion engine, a first electrical torque provider, and a second electrical torque provider as one of series and parallel; determining a baseline power division description among the hybrid power train configuration in response to a vehicle speed and the machine power demand; determining a state-of-charge (SOC) deviation for an electrical energy storage device, wherein the electrical energy storage device is electrically coupled to the first electrical torque provider and the second electrical torque provider; and adjusting the baseline power division description in response to the SOC deviation and the hybrid power train configuration.
