Due to the objectives of achieving high fuel efficiency and drivability performance, a dual-drive hybrid system with two motors has been developed. Various drive modes are presented based on engine status, requested driver torque and power, as well as C0 status in different working conditions. The transition control of drive mode change poses a unique challenge for the dual-drive hybrid system. This study discusses the control strategies for transitioning between drive modes. The first type of transition mode is divided into four distinct phases. In the second mode transition, there are three phases: the synchronization phase involving P1 torque intervention, the C0 lock-up phase involving frozen P1 torque control and adjustment of C0 clutch torque and pressure correlation, and finally, the torque exchange phase. The third type of transition includes a dedicated torque transition phase followed by a C0 disengaged phase and concluding with a speed synchronization phase.

In order to achieve seamless mode switching control for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in the event of battery failure, we propose a motor voltage-controlled mode switching method that eliminates power interruptions. This approach is based on an analysis of the dual-motor hybrid configuration's mode switching. We analyze the overall vehicle operation when the high-voltage battery occurs in different hybrid modes. To ensure that the vehicle can still function like a conventional car under such circumstances, we introduce a novel "voltage control" mode. In this mode, instead of operating in its traditional torque control manner, the P1 motor adopts a voltage control strategy. The P1 controller's variable becomes "voltage," and VCU sends the motor's working mode switching request and PCM finishes the mode transition. During system operation, the P1 motor promptly responds to these target voltages to maintain bus voltage within a normal range.
