In this study, an integrated energy management strategy(IEMS) was proposed for a PHEV(Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). The IEMS controls the engine on-off considering not only powertrain system(battery SOC, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal, brake pedal) but also thermal system condition such as cabin temperature. Analysis of the integrated powertrain and thermal system was conducted to enhance...

Supervisory Committee Dr. Andrew Rowe (Department of Mechanical Engineering) Supervisor Dr. Peter Wild (Department of Mechanical Engineering Co-Supervisor Dr. Curran Crawford (Department of Mechanical Engineering) Departmental Member Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) represent a promising future direction for the personal transportation sector in terms of decreasing the reliance on fossi...

The rise of electric vehicles brings a number of challenges for our infrastructure and energy security. Waraich (Waraich et al., 2009) demonstrates that bad choices of charging times made by the owners of electric vehicles (EVs) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to severe problems for the electric grid due to peak loads. Coordinated charging decisions controlled by a centrali...

Abstract: A near-optimal rule-based mode control (RBC) strategy was proposed for a target plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) taking into account the drivetrain losses. Individual loss models were developed for drivetrain components including the gears, planetary gear (PG), bearings, and oil pump, based on experimental data and mathematical governing equations. Also, a loss model for the pow...

Changes of Japanese consumer preference for electric vehicles (EVs) with new EV commercialisation and subsidy implementation has been quantitatively evaluated by applying conjoint analysis to the respondents choice experiment data collected by internet questionnaire survey that have been conducted in February 2009 and 2010. Powertrains (battery electric vehicle (BEV), gasoline hybrid electric v...

The PHEV initiative, recently accelerated for political, environmental and security reasons, offers a possibility to substantially shift energy demand for transportation from crude oil to electricity. PHEV are meant to recharge their batteries through the grid. Their internal combustion engine (ICE) is only used as an ancillary power source. They are easily understood to introduce a new load as...

This paper presents a technical and financial analysis of several, potentially near-zero greenhouse gas emission passenger vehicles for Australian driving conditions. Conventional, series hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and fully electric (BEV) vehicles of class B and class E sizes are considered, with their propulsive energy assumed to originate from a source that is free of net greenhouse gas e...

This paper shows that EV range-extender (RXT) with a trailer will provide better mileage than the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) when an appropriate system is used. A weekly driving pattern is assumed to be: 30 km (6 days a week), 100 km (1 day a week). The RXT system made for this evaluation is composed of a pure BEV and a trailer with an electric generator. Japan 10-15 mode is used for the calculation...

This paper presents an approach to the design of optimal control strategy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) incorporating Internet Vehicles (IoVs). The is designed and implemented by employing a mobile edge computing (MEC) based framework IoVs. thresholds in can be instantaneously optimized chaotic particle swarm optimization with sequential quadratic programming (CPSO-SQP) units (ME...
