What is PHEV powertrain co-design with vehicle performance considerations using MDSDO about?

The complexity of plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) motivates the simultaneous integration of component design and supervisory control strategy decisions. Methods from combined optimal design and control (co-design) are generally used to manage such integrated system design decisions. Although several studies have investigated the PHEV powertrain co-design problem, the impact of key vehicle performance criteria such as 0-60 mph acceleration time and all-electric-range (AER) has rarely been explicitly included in such system co-design problems. This is problematic as these vehicle performance criteria strongly affect component sizing and control strategy in a way that a non-performance-based co-design solution could become sub-optimal. Therefore, this study addresses this issue by formulating and solving a PHEV powertrain codesign problem that explicitly includes vehicle-level performance constraints. In particular, a three-phase, PHEV powertrain co-design problem is solved to simultaneously identify the optimal supervisory control strategies during the acceleration performance and standard duty cycle phases, along with the optimal component designs spanning all phases (accel
