Hybridized powertrains using two or more on-board power sources are getting increasing attention from researchers and automakers due to their ability to achieve equivalent performance to conventional vehicles and minimal harmful emissions. Power management systems (PMS) play a crucial role in hybrid powertrains to achieve high energy efficiency and sustain high drivability. Design requirements to power management include the ability to find optimal power handling decisions, accommodate unscheduled loads, and to be computationally applicable in real-time [1].
