Introduction
x Hybrid drive is the most practical and realistic alternative to conven-
lu tional transmission at the moment (Jimenez-Espadaforetal., 2011; Ehsani ^ et al., 2018). In the field of wheeled vehicles, hybrid propulsion systems ft have been very common for many years (Hannan et al., 2014). On the other hand, due to different technological and economical reasons, the research of hybrid technology for tracked vehicles has not been the focus of many researchers. However, in the last decade, the defense industry <5 started showing interest in the military vehicle hybridization (Rizzo, 2014) ^ and hybrid electric tracked vehicles (HETVs). Hybrid drive for HETVs of-o fers advantages such as better fuel economy, additional onboard electric power, silent watch capability and decreased noise and thermal signature (Khalil, 2009).
In (Galvagno et al., 2012), the authors presented a mathematical model ^ and a dynamic analysis of a single-drive series hybrid tracked tank, while in (Zou et al., 2012a) the authors developed bi-level optimization consisting of two nested optimizations, one for optimal powertrain sizing, and the other one for optimal power management of the HETV. In (Liu et al., 2015; Zou etal., 2016), a control-oriented model of an HETV was developed and the EMS based on reinforcement learning was proposed, which achieved results comparable to dynamic programming, while the authors in (Ran-dive et al., 2019, 2021) presented a systematic approach to powertrain sizing which reduced transmission weight by 16% and proposed a novel rule-based strategy which achieved over 30% better fuel economy when compared to the previous original powertrain.
Research on the topic of hybrid propulsion has also appeared in Serbian military circles. Driven by the idea of achieving better performance and less
fuel consumption with minimal changes to the original conventional trans- | mission, in (Milicevic & Muzdeka, 2021) the authors proposed a concep- ^ tual hybridization model of the Serbian infantry fighting vehicle BVP M80A. 03 In this paper, the performance of the vehicle was analyzed, and the later ^ research (Milicevic et al., 2021) proposed an energy management strat- ^ egy (EMS) based on the Power Follower Control Strategy (PFCS) which achieved 12.8% better fuel economy than conventional transmission, and even better result (23.2%) was achieved with introducing additional gener- ¡5 ator in the powertrain. These two research studies laid the foundation to hybridization of the BVP M80A, the former focusing on conceptualization of hybrid powertrain and the latter focusing on improving efficiency of the designed powertrain. The constraints set in the first research study led to the complex powertrain and very complex multi-mode EMS designed in the second one. The motivation for this work stems from the mentioned fact. The aim of this paper is to design a series hybrid powertrain which would be <0 efficient and simple by considering key performance requirements, proper sizing of all powertrain elements and adequate selection of an EMS.

Proposed powertrain configuration |
The most common configuration in HETVs is series (Zou et al., 2012b; î? Zhang et al., 2020; Randive et al., 2019; Qin et al., 2018; Randive et al., 2021; Zou et al., 2016). The lack of shafts, gears and other mechanical elements is very important from the aspect of reliability and better utilization of <? space. The increased power rating of battery offers more onboard electric power. These advantages and the possibility of increased fuel economy were the main factors for the proposed series configuration. The major o components of the proposed configuration are (Fig. 1):
1. Traction motors, °
2. Simple two-stage transmission,
3. Engine-generator unit, and
4. Energy storage.
The proposed powertrain adopts a dual-drive variant of the series configuration. Two traction motors independently drive the two sprockets, a generator is driven by the diesel engine which is a primary source of energy (PS) while the battery pack supplies or absorbs energy when needed and acts as a secondary source (SS). Between the electric motor and

the wheels there is a simple two-speed transmission. Compared to the reference vehicle and the parallel configuration designed in (Milicevic & Muzdeka, 2021), this powertrain is much simpler. It has no planetary gear sets and no complex gearbox. Lack of the engine-sprocket mechanical connection enables the engine to work at the optimal operating point which is the main advantage of this configuration.

Component sizing
The main rationale of the hybrid drive concept shown in (Milicevic & Muzdeka, 2021) was as few changes to the transmission as possible. Therefore, the authors of the aforementioned research retained numerous parameters of the initial transmission, and the parameters of the battery and the electric motor were adapted to the initial system parameters. Such approach to sizing certainly results in an unbalanced and disproportionate powertrain. Due to their specific purpose, tracked vehicles have unique requirements, such as high gradeability, off-road mobility and satisfactory skid-steering and acceleration performance. The design of the HETV powertrain should be made based on a critical performance analysis, something that is rarely done in literature (Randive et al., 2019). Based on the analysis, the adequate sizing of the components can be done to achieve satisfactory performance.
Power and torque demand
Movement resistances have a complex nature and depend on the type and slope of the terrain, pressure distribution, turning radius, etc. For this paper, the simplest case of movement on hard terrain will be considered. To propel the wheels of the HETV in a straight-line motion, traction force Ftr has to be equal to the sum of various resistances as follows:
Ftr — Frol + Faero + Fgrade + Fini (1)
road grade resistance and inertial force, respectively. These forces are given as follows:

Power demand is obtained by multiplying the sum of the resistance forces with the vehicle velocity:

Transmission
Most of electric and series electric hybrid vehicles have a single-stage transmission between the traction motor and the wheel (or the final drive) due to high efficiency and a favorable torque curve of the electric motor (Wu et al., 2013). However, with HETVs, the required power and torque performances are in relative disproportion, so it is difficult to find an electric motor with a sufficiently broad operating range. In addition, it was shown that the dual-stage transmission for HETVs is significantly more efficient than single-stage (Randive et al., 2021). The adopted gear ratios depend on the maximum torque and the maximum required speed of the vehicle, and have a direct impact on the sizing of the traction motor. The minimum gear ratio must meet the condition of gradeability, that is:
. ^ 1 Fgrade,max • r (10)

The maximum power and the torque rating of the two traction motors need to satisfy performance requirements expressed with Eq. (7) and Eq. ° (8). The combined maximum power of the two traction motors should be equal to or greater than the maximum power required Pmax. The maximum and rated torque must be sufficient to satisfy gradeability performance and to enable continuous and smooth motion at the maximum speed, respectively. Adopting the data from Table 1, and substituting into Eq. (7) and Eq. (8), the maximum required power of Preq = 227.34kW and the maximum required torque of 20113Nm are obtained. The torque required to maintain the maximum speed is obtained from Eq. (1) when acceleration and road grade resistances are ignored and amounts to 3062.3Nm. The maximum sprocket speed is calculated as 670rpm. In accordance with this data, two electric motors of a maximum speed of 9000rpm, a maximum torque of
ф
600Nm and a rated power of 120kW were considered in this study. After

adopting gear ratios of i1 = 12 and i2 = 18, it is confirmed that the combined torque-speed characteristic of the motor and transmission satisfies the required performances as shown in Fig. 2.
Engine-generator set
In (Randive etal., 2019) engine sizing is based on the condition of meeting the required power for constant speed operation. However, in this work, an identical engine as in the reference vehicle will be adopted for the reason of achieving the validity of the comparison with the existing parallel hybrid configuration. Therefore, an engine with the power rating of 235kW is adopted.
Energy storage sizing
Considering the size of the engine-generator set in this case, the energy storage has the role of meeting required vehicle performance in the electric only mode. The power of the storage is calculated as (Arikan, 2019):

The most common rule-based strategy in hybrid vehicles is the Thermostat Control Strategy (TCS). Other frequently represented strategies are the Power Follower Control Strategy (PFCS) and the Maximum SOC of Peak Power Supply (Max.SOC-of-PPS) (Ehsani et al., 2018). However, some more advanced rule-based strategies such as the Optimal Primary Source Strategy (OPSS) (Shabbir & Evangelou, 2019) have appeared in recent times. These strategies have a simple implementation, are robust and achieve good results, which makes them adequate candidates for

implementation in military tracked vehicles.
1. Thermostat Control Strategy is based on on/off switching of the PS depending on the battery state of charge (SOC) value. The battery SOC can vary in a predefined range [SOCl, SOCu]. Then, when the SOC reaches the lower limit, the PS turns on and recharges the battery up to the SOCU value, when it turns off again. The PS is typically set at the most efficient operating point Ppsopt. The mathematical implementation is based on the state S(t) which determines if the PS

° is active:
-j
<
o z
X
'0, SOC(t) > SOCu
ft ^(t) = {1, SOC (t) < SOCl (15)
,S(t-) SOCl < SOC(t) < SOCu
where SOCL and SOCU are the lower and upper limits of the battery SOC, and the S(t-) is the state S in the previous time sample. The PS will also supplement power if the power demand exceeds the w power rating of the SS without changing the state S(t).
o 2. Power Follower Control Strategy employs the power-following ap-o proach which means that the PS follows the load with some deviation
in order to correct the battery SOC. The PS power follows the load when the SOC is between SOCL and SOCU but biases the PS operation in favor of charging or discharging the battery when the SOC o leaves the predefined range. Mathematical implementation is similar
to the TCS:
/
S(t) =
0, SOC(t) > SOCu and PL < Ppsn
1, SOC (t) < SOCl or Pl > Pssma: S(t-) SOC(t) > SOCL and Pl < Pssm
(16)
where PL is the power demand, PPsmin is the tunable minimum power of the PS and Pssmax is the maximum power of the SS. For S(t) = 0 the PS power is always PPs = 0, while for S(t) = 1 the PS
operation is defined as:

where PpSmax is the maximum power of the PS and Pm(t) is given ®

as: 2
'PpSmin, SOC(t) > SOCu Pps(t) = { Pm(t), SOCl < SOC(t) < SOCu (17) Ppsmax SOC (t) < SOCl
Pm(t) = Pl + Pch(SOCU + SOCL - SOC(t)), (18)
-SOCu + SOCl
where Pch is the charging factor.
3. Optimal Primary Source strategy employs the load-leveling approach using a threshold changing mechanism instead of state changing as in the TCS or the PFCS. In that way, a charge sustaining mechanism is obtained. The strategy design is strongly based on solu- <o tions gained via optimization strategies and by utilizing effectiveness of modern start-stop engine systems in HEVs (Shabbir, 2015). The threshold value for the activation of the PS is defined as

33 >
o
Ppsmin(SOC) = Pth + Pth(SOCSOCinitial), (19) |
V SOC range ' ot
where Pth is the threshold value that needs to be tuned to achieve the best results. Applied to a small passenger vehicle, this strat- § egy managed to achieve fuel consumption only 1% lower than the optimization based Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) (Shabbir & Evangelou, 2019).

Based on the mathematical model, a backward-looking model of the series HETV was created in the Simulink environment. For the evaluation w of the model and EMS, a drive cycle was artificially constructed using the data available. The drive cycle contains the speed profiles for both tracks moving on the hard ground (Fig. 3).
It includes significant acceleration, braking, and steering. The average vehicle speed is 18.5km/h, and the travel distance is 11.12km. Since the drive cycle is assumed to be known, gear shifting is also predetermined such that the vehicle meets the required performance. Three proposed

The power profiles of the PFCS and the TCS are very similar (Fig. 4). Although the PFCS should follow the load, in this case it does not happen due to the specific vehicle exploitation conditions causing the elements of the powertrain to be oversized in order to achieve the required performance. Therefore, it seems that the PFCS is not a good choice for use in HETVs. Instead, the TCS would be a more adequate choice for HETVs due to its simplicity. On the other hand, the power profile of the OPSS is significantly different from those of the PFCS and the TCS. The load-levelling approach is noticeable and the PS always works at the optimal operating point. Also, the SOC varies significantly less than in the PFCS and the TCS, thus extending the battery life. Despite the significantly less SOC variation, with the OPSS, the engine is active about 6% time less compared to the other two strategies (Table 3). This fact directly reflects in fuel consumption, which is lower than in the other two strategies (Table 4).

The OPSS proved to be the best of the tested strategies. In addition to the best fuel economy, the small SOC variation reduces battery voltage fluctuation and increases the battery life. A constantly high battery SOC ensures the availability of electric power for auxiliary loads on or off the vehicle. In comparison with the reference vehicle from (Milicevic et al., 2021), the proposed configuration with the OPSS achieves a significantly better economy of as much as 53% (Table 5).

This result is a consequence of much better powertrain sizing and a simple and adequate EMS. The initial hypothesis for the reference vehicle to change the transmission as little as possible, and then to optimize the operation of such a transmission, proved to be very unsuccessful, which showed that when hybridizing a vehicle, one must take into account the proper sizing of the powertrain elements.
The reference vehicle ended up with a slightly oversized engine and undersized electric motors and battery, which caused the engine to be active during most of the drive cycle. By switching to the series configuration and with proper sizing, significantly better results were achieved. The main reason for this is a much larger battery and more efficient operation of the engine due to the absence of a mechanical connection between the engine

and the wheels. In this work, the engine was left unchanged for the pur- |
pose of comparison with the reference vehicle; however, as Fig. 4 shows, it ^
is clear that excess energy is created and that the engine should be down- 03
sized, which would also achieve additional fuel savings. ^

Conclusion
This paper presents a systematic approach to the development of a series configuration hybrid electric tracked vehicle. All powertrain elements were systematically sized based on the key performance requirements except the engine, which remained of the same size as in the reference e vehicle with the parallel hybrid configuration. Three energy management strategies were proposed, namely the TCS, the PFCS, and the OPSS. The evaluation of the powertrain configuration and the proposed strategies was performed in the Simulink environment using a driving cycle containing sig- <? nificant acceleration, braking and steering. The results showed that the OPSS proved to be the best due to the best fuel economy and a low battery SOC variation. The load-leveling approach enabled this strategy to o have an engine usage time of 6.4% less than the other two EMSs rela- | tive to the total drive cycle time. In comparison with the same vehicle with ° the parallel configuration where the sizing was constrained in the sense of harnessing hybrid drive advantages with as little change of the powertrain & as possible, the proposed powertrain configuration achieved a significantly better fuel economy of 53.79%. The main reasons for improved fuel economy are proper sizing, a much simpler powertrain and therefore a much more efficient EMS which enabled the engine to be active only 44.09 % of the total drive cycle time compared to 92% of the time of the parallel configuration. The main conclusion of this work is that proper sizing of powertrain elements must be taken into account when hybridizing a vehicle. Potential

fuel savings and increased efficiency outweigh the cost of radical powertrain changes. Also, the series hybrid configuration presented itself as a major candidate for use in hybrid electric tracked vehicles.

Резюме:
Введение/цель: В данной статье представлен системный подход к разработке серийного гибридного электрическо-<| го гусеничного транспортного средства (ГЭТС), включая
о выбор привода и соответствующей стратегии управле-
^ ния энергопотреблением (ЭМС).
Методы: Размеры элементов силового агрегата были ш подобраны с учетом ключевых требований к производи-
сь тельности. Были предложены три стратегии управления
энергопотреблением: стратегия управления с помощью термостата (TCS), стратегия управления повторителем мощности (PFC) и стратегия оптимального источника питания (OPSS). Оценка конфигурации трансмиссии и трех предложенных стратегий была выполнена в среде Simulink с использованием ездового цикла, включающего значительное ускорение, торможение и рулевое управление.
Результаты: Результаты показали, что OPSS оказалась лучшей стратегией, благодаря экономии топлива и низкому уровню изменчивости заряда батареи (SOC). Надо подчеркнуть, что по сравнению с предыдущими испытаниями того же автомобиля с параллельной гибридной конфигурацией были достигнуты значительно лучшие результаты. Анализ результатов показывает, что предложенная кон-
фигурация привода и стратегия управления обеспечива- § ют снижение расхода топлива на 53,79 %, что свидетель- ^ ствует о правильном выборе размера гибридного привода. о5

Выводы: Результаты данного исследования представляют большую значимость для понимания влияния правиль- -д ного выбора размера привода на экономичность транспортного средства. По сравнению с серийным транспортным средством, предлагаемая конфигурация обеспечивает значительное улучшение, в частности, благодаря соответствующему выбору размера. Согласно выдвинутой гипотезе, наилучшей стратегией оказалась OPSS. Серийная гибридная конфигурация с OPSS в качестве ЭМС оказалась лучшим кандидатом для использования ГЭТС.
Ключевые слова: гусеничная машина, гибридная машина, энергопотребление, стратегия управления энергопотреблением, расход топлива.
