Abstract
A method for controlling a power system of a hybrid vehicle includes determining, during a motoring mode of operation, a desired operating voltage of a direct current (DC) bus included in the power system at a given speed. The desired operating voltage is based on a minimum operating voltage at the given speed and a maximum operating voltage at the given speed, wherein an energy storage element parameter is used establishing the minimum operating voltage.
