Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: operating a hybrid power train comprising an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, a hybrid power system battery pack electrically coupled to the electric motor, and a driveline structured to motively couple the engine and the electric motor to a vehicle; generating, thermal energy in the hybrid power system batter pack; determining a heat transfer value in response to a temperature of the hybrid power system battery pack and a target temperature description; providing a heat transfer command in response to the heat transfer value indicating the temperature of the hybrid power system battery pack is too high; removing an amount of the thermal energy from the hybrid power system battery pack in response to the heat transfer command; securing, at least a portion of the removed thermal energy, and determining a propulsion state of the vehicle, wherein securing at least the portion of the removed thermal energy includes providing the removed thermal energy to the driveline of the vehicle in response to the propulsion state indicating the electric motor is providing motive power to the driveline of the vehicle.
