Modeling and simulation of hybrid electric vehicles

Abstract

In the current research modeling and simulation of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) in PSIM environment is presented. A review of the frequently used structure of for realization of the HEVs are proposed. Consistently, the individual stages of modeling are presented including the choice of electric motor, power electronic converters and energy storage devices. The simulation results of the most important electrical and mechanical parameters which characterized the HEVs are presented. This modeling method is very useful and suitable for the purposes of the training of the power and automotive electronics.
