Abstract

With increasing concern over the environment and ever stringent emissions regulations, the electric vehicle has been investigated as an alternative form of transportation. However, the electric vehicle suffers from relatively short range and long charging times and consequently has not become an acceptable solution to the automotive consumer. The addition of an internal combustion engine to extend the range of the electric vehicle is one method of exploiting the high efficiency and lack of emissions of the electric vehicle while retaining the range and convenient refuelling times of a conventional gasoline powered vehicle. The term that describes this type of vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle. Many configurations of hybrid electric vehicles have been designed and implemented, namely the series, parallel and power-split configurations. This paper discusses the comparison between Split Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle(SPHEV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV). Modelling methods such as physics-based Resistive Companion Form technique and Bond Graph method are presented with powertrain component and system modelling examples. The modelling and simulation capability of existing tools such as ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR) is demonstrated through application examples. Since power electronics is indispensable in hybrid vehicles, the issue of numerical oscillations in dynamic simulations involving power electronics is briefly addressed.

Summary

Introduction

A hybrid electric vehicle draws its propulsion power from an (Internal Combustion Engine)ICE and an electric motor, which can operate as a generator to charge the onboard electrical energy storage device. A series-hybrid Fig. 1 only has the electric motor turning the drive-shaft while the ICE serves as an on-board electric generator to charge the batteries and/or to power the motor directly (‘series’ connection between the ICE the electric motor, resulting in an electric transmission of power to the wheels) [1]. The series hybrid provides power to the wheels by a series path of energy conversion through the engine to the generator, battery, the rear motor. Note that the series hybrid and through-the-road parallel hybrid can still propel the vehicle without the engine on, sourcing power for the rear motor from the battery [2]
