Background Technology

[0002] In my country's existing railway network, non-electrified railways account for over 30%, indicating that high-speed trains still hold significant potential in regional railway transportation. With continuous technological advancements, diesel-electric hybrid trains (DEPs) incorporating onboard energy storage devices have become a research hotspot due to their smaller capacity, flexible formation, and ability to operate across lines. Energy management strategies are the core of DEP technology research, and their design and optimization are crucial for improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Currently, hybrid energy management strategies have been widely applied in the automotive sector, achieving certain results and fully meeting energy conservation and emission reduction requirements, thus becoming a means and method for energy saving and emission reduction.

[0003] my country's research and development of internal combustion hybrid electric multiple units started relatively late, referring to... Figure 1 The existing energy management strategy for diesel-electric hybrid multiple units (DMUs) suffers from a single data foundation, relying solely on empirical data and failing to fully integrate component health status, track conditions, and vehicle status, resulting in low energy conversion efficiency. Establishing a more efficient and rational energy management strategy for DMUs is an urgent problem to be solved and a requirement of railway transportation in the context of big data. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The data management layer includes TS configuration and data management, basic data management, vehicle data, and technical manuals. It is used to characterize key parameters and to analyze and process the key parameters using fuzzy control strategies to obtain the energy management and control strategy for the vehicle's internal combustion hybrid power system with the minimum energy consumption under real operating conditions, and then send it to the vehicle control unit.
