Abstract

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have the ability to drastically reduce petroleum use. The FreedomCAR Office of Vehicle Technology is developing a program to study the potential of the technology. The first step in the program is to define the requirements of PHEV components. As the battery appears to be the main tecnical barrier, both from a performance and cost perspective, the main efforts have been focused on that component. Argonne National Laboratory researchers have developed a process to define the requirements of energy storage systems for plug-in applications. This paper describes the impact of All Electric Range, drive cycle, and control strategy on battery requirements.
