Abstract:
1. System to control a powertrain, the system comprising: an energy management layer comprising a friction module, a mechanical module, a motor generator module, and an open energy storage module, each module comprising a respective controller and an adaptable plurality of available modular energy sources that can be selectively added or removed from the powertrain: a power management layer comprising the centralized powertrain controller: a torque control layer comprising the friction module, the mechanical module, the motor generator module, and the open energy storage module, the torque control layer adaptively controlling torque generation of the at least one modularly operated torque generative device based upon the determined power split command received by the friction module controller, the mechanical module controller, the motor generator module controller, and the open energy storage module controller.
