Latest Patents
One of Grondin's latest patents is a method and system for controlling a hybrid propulsion system that optimizes fuel consumption and minimizes polluting emissions. This invention involves a control mechanism that reduces consumption and pollutant emissions at the after-treatment system outlet. The method is based on minimizing a cost function of a model of the propulsion system, allowing for simultaneous reductions in fuel consumption and pollution emissions by considering after-treatment system efficiency.
Another significant patent is a transient-state control method for a hybrid drive system for vehicles. This invention addresses the control of a hybrid drive system that includes at least one electric machine and one diesel engine. The method corrects the static torque setpoint of the diesel engine during transient states by constructing a nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission model. This model estimates the emissions of the diesel engine based on torque, allowing for the calculation of dynamic torque setpoints for both the diesel engine and the electric machine.
