Abstract
Today, worldwide, there is large research work going on to develop hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) which relieve the nation from the dependence on fossil fuels like petrol, diesel and vehicles which do not pollute the atmosphere. To achieve this objective, HEVs using alternate fuel sources like fuel cells, batteries, capacitors, flywheels are used with an electric drive system. In some HEVs there are more than one drive system, like an electric drive system along with a conventional engine (ICE) based drive system. These drive systems are used in various combinations like series/parallel depending upon the design adopted. In this paper, it is proposed to evaluate the performance of existing and HEVs under development. Based on the study of the HEVs and their performance evaluation, it is proposed to develop an energy system with one or more power sources and an energy management and control sources (EMCS). The EMCS will effectively manage these power sources. These power sources will be tailor made to match a suitable drive system for an HEV. The drive system will be appropriately selected based on the above study. Simulation work is carried out using state-of-the-art software tools like MATLAB - SIMULINK. The simulation results will be validated by comparing with an appropriate baseline specification of HEV.
