plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (phev) technology shows great interest in the recent scientificliteratures. vehicle-to-grid (v2g) is a interconnection of energy storage of phevs and grid. byimplementation of v2g dependencies of the power system on small expensive conventional units canbe reduced, resulting in reduced operational cost. this paper represents an intelligent unitcommitment (uc) wi...

The first commercially available plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the General Motors (GM) Volt, was introduced into the market in mid-December 2010. The Volt uses a series-split powertrain architecture, which provides benefits over the series architecture that typically has been considered for use in electric-range extended vehicles (EREVs). A specialized EREV powertrain, called the Volt...

In view of the limitations of automated mechanical transmission (AMT) for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), as a scheme of new transmission system without synchronizer Electric-drive Automated Mechanical Transmission (EMT) was proposed. Taking use of the electric machines’ speed quick response characteristic, EMT uses active synchronous gearshift instead of the passive friction gearshift ...

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV) is a promising way of achieving the benefits of the electric vehicle without being limited by the electric range. This paper develops an adaptive control strategy based on a map-based ECMS approach. The control is developed and implemented in a simulator provided by IFP Energies nouvelles for the PHEV benchmark. The implemented control strives to be as bl...

The increasing automobile vehicles and congestions in the world cause critical pollutions such as air and noise. Hence, we need comprehensive measures to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in transportation area. Many researchers have studied the impact of adopting ecofriendly vehicles such as electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and fu...

The battery charging system is a critical part of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The efficiency, charging speed, and cost of such chargers are crucial to the commercialisation of PHEVs. In this paper, the advantages and drawbacks of four potential PHEV charger topologies were compared based on their operations through simulation and experiments. Their electrical stress, efficiency, c...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can become valuable resources for an electric power system by providing vehicle to grid (V2G) services, such as energy storage and ancillary services. We use a unit commitment model of the Texas power system to simulate system operations with different-sized PHEV fleets that do and do not provide V2G services, to estimate the value of those services. We ...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology will provide substantial reduction in petroleum consumption as demonstrated in previous studies. Platform engineering steps including, reduced mass, improved engine efficiency, relaxed performance, improved aerodynamics and rolling resistance can impact both vehicle efficiency and design. Simulations have been completed to quantify the relative ...

GPS data for a year’s worth of travel by 255 Seattle households illuminate how plug-in electric vehicles can match household needs. The results suggest that a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) with 100 miles of range should meet the needs of 50% of one-vehicle households and 80% of multiple-vehicle households, when charging once a day and relying on another vehicle or mode just 4 days a year.
