Tabular Q-learning (QL) can be easily implemented into a controller to realize self-learning energy management control of a plug-in hybrid electric bus (PHEB). However, the curse of dimensionality problem is difficult to avoid, as the design space is huge. This paper proposes a QL-PMP algorithm (QL and Pontryagin minimum principle (PMP)) to address the problem. The main novelty is that the difference between the feedback SOC (state of charge) and the reference SOC is exclusively designed as state, and then a limited state space with 50 rows and 25 columns is proposed. The off-line training process shows that the limited state space is reasonable and adequate for the self-learning; the Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulation results show that the QL-PMP strategy can be implemented into a controller to realize real-time control, and can on average improve the fuel economy by 20.42%, compared to the charge depleting-charge sustaining (CDCS) strategy.
