Energy management of plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) has different challenges from non-plug-in HEVs, due to bigger batteries and grid recharging. Instead of tackling it to pursue energetic efficiency, an approach minimizing the driving cost incurred by the user – the combined costs of fuel, grid energy and battery degradation – is here proposed. A real-time approximation of the resultin...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have demonstrated the potential to significantly increase fuel economy. However, the overall efficiency of the powertrain system of any Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) depends on the vehicle-level control strategy. To optimize the energy flow, a global optimization algorithm, based on the Bellman principle, was used to generate the most efficient operating...

In this paper, Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (PFCEV) is considered with dual power sources including Fuel Cell (FC) and battery Energy Storage. In order to respond to a transient power demand, usually supercapacitor energy storage device is combined with fuel cell to create a hybrid system with high energy density of fuel cell and the high power density of battery. In order to simulate the...

This article investigates the economic viability of replacing high-voltage battery pack a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in (PHEV) by estimating impact aging on fuel economy, drivability capability, range. The HEV is modeled first, an optimal energy management strategy based dynamic programming then implemented, experimental characterization data for cell presented. batterie...

based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. however, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. to resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

Hybrid and fully electric vehicles are becoming more common as a response to rising fuel prices and greenhouse considerations. While the benefits of electrification on urban air quality have been studied quite widely, financial assessments of the various alternative vehicle forms are less common, particularly for Australian driving conditions. The aim of this paper is therefore to identify the ...
