Abstract | Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a promising alternative to gas-only vehicles and offer the potential to greatly reduce fuel use in transportation. Their potential energy consumption is highly linked to the size of the components. This study focuses on the impact of the electric system energy and power on control and energy consumption. Based on a parallel pre-transmission architecture, several vehicles were modeled with an all-electric range from 5 to 40 miles on the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule to illustrate various levels of available electric energy. Five other vehicles were created, with various levels of power and the same battery energy. The vehicles were then simulated under optimal control on multiple combinations of cycle and distance by using a global optimization algorithm. The results from each optimization were analyzed to highlight control patterns. The potential minimal fuel consumption that can be achieved by each of them is presented in this report. |
