Emerging green-energy transportation, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in HEVs (PHEVs), has a great potential for reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse emissions. The lithium-ion battery system used in these vehicles, however, is bulky, expensive and unreliable, and has been the primary roadblock for transportation electrification. Meanwhile, few studies have considered u...

Selection of higher values for Degree of Hybridization (DOH) increases the fuel economy and reduces the emissions in the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). Previously presented methodologies for deciding about the number of battery modules (as an important factor influencing the vehicle performance), presents poor vehicle performance for higher DOHs. In this paper, a new technique has been propos...

In this study, two battery models for a high-power lithium ion (Li-Ion) cell were compared for their use in hybrid electric vehicle simulations in support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hybrid Electric Vehicle Program. Saft America developed the high-power Li-Ion cells as part of the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium/U.S. Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles programs. Based on test d...

This study presents a comprehensive review of the potential technical impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on power distribution and transmission systems. This review also presents various power quality impacts on the power system in several aspects. This review conveys a detailed analysis of electric vehicle charging strategies on electrical distribution networks. The two charging aspec...

The paper proposes a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) design based on the installation of fuel cell (FC) module in existing Daewoo Tico electric vehicle to increase its range urban areas. Installing an FC supplied by 2 kg hydrogen tank would not significantly mass vehicle, and charging time is lower than battery time. For analysis, model was created MATLAB/Simulink software package. simulates at d...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...
