Abstract
A hybrid thermal management system includes a battery, a capacitor, and a controller programmed to, responsive to a demand and a temperature being less than an upper threshold, select and operate only one of the battery and capacitor to satisfy the demand according to which of two values, corresponding to traction power dependent heat generation functions representing rates at which the battery and capacitor generate heat, is less to maintain the temperature below the threshold.
