研究室紹介
Professor Dong-Seok Geum's research lab specializes in the advanced design and optimization of hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrains, with a strong focus on energy management, emissions control, and drivability. The lab develops systematic methodologies—particularly using dynamic programming and horizon-based optimization—to achieve near-optimal performance in fuel economy and tailpipe emissions during cold-start conditions. Key research directions include supervisory control strategy synthesis, kinematic and powertrain configuration design, and the integration of catalytic converter thermal management into energy management frameworks. The lab emphasizes practical implementability of optimal control strategies through systematic extraction from global optimization results.

15Past research on hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) focused primarily on improving their fuel economy. Emission reduction is another important performance attribute that needs to be addressed. When emissions are considered for hybrid vehicles with a gasoline engine, horizon-based optimization methodologies should be used because the light-off of the three-way catalytic converter heavily depends on the warming-up of catalyst temperature. In this paper, we propose a systematic design method for a col
Control of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) poses a different challenge from that of the conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) because the battery energy is designed to deplete throughout the drive cycle. In particular, when the travel distance exceeds the all-electric range (AER) of a PHEV and when tailpipe emissions are considered, optimal operation of the PHEV must consider optimization of the performance over a time horizon. In this paper, we develop a method to synthesize a sup
The pretransmission parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a single electric motor requires relatively little changes from existing powertrain configurations. This configuration, however, has a challenging drivability issue during engine-starts because the electric motor must simultaneously provide the demanded propulsion torque and start the engine. Depending on the propulsion power level, such engine-start process may require a trade-off between drivability and quick start. The goal of th
Most of the prior studies on power-split hybrid electric vehicle's (PS-HEV) design focused on the powertrain configuration optimization. Yet, depicting the selected configuration is highly required for further design steps, ultimately manufacturing. This paper proposes an automatic approach to generate all the feasible kinematic diagrams for a given configuration with a single planetary gear (PG) set. While the powertrain configuration, which is the output of prior studies, illustrates the conne
Most of the prior design studies on compound split hybrids focused on the selection of optimal configurations through evaluating their performance within the physical design space, i.e., powertrain configurations. However, the authors revealed that using the compound lever for the performance analysis dramatically reduces the design space as redundant configurations exist for a single compound lever design, resulting in computational load reduction. Nevertheless, using the compound lever results
