Modeling and Simulation of Extended-Range Electric Vehicle with Control Strategy to Assess Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emission for the Expected Driving Range

Extended-Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs) are intended to improve the range of battery electric vehicles and thus eliminate drivers’ concerns about running out energy before reaching desired destination. This paper gives an insight into EREV’s performance operating according proposed control strategy over various driving cycles, including Worldwide Harmonized Light-duty Test Cycle Class 3b (WLTC 3b), Federal Procedure (FTP-75), China Light-Duty Vehicle (CLTC-P). Simulation runs were performed in Matlab-Simulink® for different cases drive range, electricity mix, vehicle mass. The goal was aim at a specified value state charge targeted value. obtained test results included: pure acceleration times, EREV tests, errors, Range Extender (REX) utilization metric distribution its engagement instances, fuel consumption, total equivalent CO2 emission, powertrain efficiency, specific consumption. operated on average with error −1.04% mean square 2.13%. Fuel consumption (in extension mode) varied between 1.37 dm3/100 km (FTP-75) 6.85 Extra-High 3). CO2eq emission 95.3–244.2 g/km Poland, 31.0–160.5 EU-27, 1.2–147.6 Sweden. is valuable source information scientists engineers seeking learn advantages shortcomings drives strategy, based sets results.
