This paper presents a systematic model for the operation simulation and optimization of a novel multi-mode hybrid powertrain. The hybrid configuration proposed in the paper features a planetary gear train for an electric CVT mode in addition to lay-shaft gears for multiple speed ratios and realizes six operation modes in a simple structure. Detailed component level models were established for the multi-mode hybrid transmission and integrated to the overall vehicle model according to the system configuration using the Simulink/Advisor platform. The vehicle control strategy was then established with the objective to optimize the overall vehicle operation and each hybrid operation mode in terms of fuel economy and emission levels. The performance of the proposed hybrid vehicle system was studied using the developed model under various operation conditions and benchmarked with a current market model with leading performance parameters. The proposed hybrid configuration shows substantial improvements over the benchmark and is validated as a viable hybrid design based on the model simulation.
