“…Because driver behavior was not the focus of this research, the PHEV model was assumed to follow the driving cycle closely without consideration of driver error. The PHEV model adopts a power-split drivetrain, which is the most widely used drivetrain in real life (23). The power-split device splits power among the internal combustion engine and two motors or generators.…”

Automobile manufacturers have introduced plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to reduce fossil fuel consumption. This paper details three optimization strategies that can be used to minimize the energy consumption of PHEVs further through an information exchange between PHEVs and infrastructure agents supported by connected vehicle technology (CVT). An earlier study focused on a freeway scenario. The study reported here developed strategies for an urban scenario with frequent stop-and-go conditions. Three strategies were considered on the basis of different types of information availability with the use of CVT. Only signal timing information was available in Strategy 1; only headway information was available in Strategy 2; and both signal timing and headway information were available in Strategy 3. The performance of PHEVs that received no real-time information was used as the base case for Strategies 1, 2, and 3 to evaluate each strategy. The optimization strategies resulted in energy consumption savings that ranged from 60% to 76%. An analysis, with various levels of penetration of CVT-supported PHEVs in traffic, was conducted to demonstrate the impact of these optimization strategies with their increased market share. For a case study network, a linear trend was found between energy savings and the penetration rate of CVT-supported PHEVs. Strategy 3, in which signal timing and headway data were provided to CVT-supported PHEVs, resulted in about 31% to 35% energy savings, with a 30% penetration of CVT-supported PHEVs at the peak hour volume.

In this paper, a simulator was built to simulate a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) power system. Specifically, a model adopting a series/parallel hybrid system with a planetary gear mechanism was created. With this model, the impacts of the engine on/off control and drive distance on environmental performance were analyzed using a homologation driving schedule for Japan. It was proven that when providing PHEVs to the market it will be necessary to adjust the engine on/off control to suit the actual daily drive distance of users.

“…It is possible to convert all hybrid drivetrains consisting of series, parallel, series-parallel, and two-mode power split hybrids to a PHEV. Drivetrain compatibility for PHEVs has been studied in [1,2]. In spite of the fact that the series-parallel architecture has the most efficient charge sustained (CS) mode, when a high capacity battery similar to that of GM Volt PHEV is available, the series drivetrain is appealing [2,3].…”

“…Drivetrain compatibility for PHEVs has been studied in [1,2]. In spite of the fact that the series-parallel architecture has the most efficient charge sustained (CS) mode, when a high capacity battery similar to that of GM Volt PHEV is available, the series drivetrain is appealing [2,3]. The first option for the power management of a PHEV is to run the vehicle on pure electric energy similar to an electric vehicle in EV mode, until all energy stored in the battery is depleted.…”

It has been demonstrated that considering the knowledge of drive cycle as a priori in the PHEV control strategy can improve its performance. The concept of power cycle instead of drive cycle is introduced to consider the effect of noise factors in the prediction of future drivetrain power demand. To minimize the effect of noise factors, a practical solution for developing a power-cycle library is introduced. A control strategy is developed using the predicted power cycle which inherently improves the optimal operation of engine and consequently improves the vehicle performance. Since the control strategy is formed exclusively for each PHEV rather than a preset strategy which is designed by OEM, the effect of different environmental and geographic conditions, driver behavior, aging of battery and other components are considered for each PHEV. Simulation results show that the control strategy based on the driver library of power cycle would improve both vehicle performance and battery health.I.
