Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for controlling operation a hybrid powertrain are disclosed that use low power storage and motor/generator components in line haul operations. In one embodiment, a line haul drive cycle includes a low power motor/generator executing a power assistance operation of the hybrid powertrain powered by electricity from a low power storage responsive to a monitoring by a line haul controller of ascensions of the hybrid vehicle at or near a constant speed over an uneven terrain. The line haul drive cycle further includes the low power motor/generator executing a regenerative braking operation of the hybrid powertrain supplying captured electric energy to the low power storage responsive to a monitoring by the line haul controller of descensions of the hybrid vehicle at or near the constant speed over the uneven terrain.

Claim (Index 21):
A vehicle system comprising:\n a motor/generator; a battery having a C-rate less than 0.9 C; power electronics operatively coupled with the motor/generator and the battery and structured to selectably convert AC electrical power output by the motor/generator to DC power and convert DC power output by the battery to AC power; an electronic control system operatively coupled with the motor generator, the battery, and the power electronics, the electronic control system configured to: enter into a line haul hybrid operating mode in response to a determination of uneven terrain involving repeated uphill and downhill operation of the vehicle system, during uphill operation of the vehicle system in the line haul hybrid operating mode, control the power electronics to convert power discharged from the battery to operate the motor/generator to output mechanical power, during downhill operation of the vehicle system in the line haul hybrid operating mode, control the power electronics to charge the battery with power provided by motor/generator, and control the discharging and charging of the battery in the line haul hybrid operating mode to a rate equal to or less than the C-rate of the battery.
