Abstract
One of the major issues in automotive industry is to develop hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) as the prime candidate for improving fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. This study addresses the impact of an actual drive pattern and control strategy on the conventional and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). In the first step the development procedure of driving cycle for real condition is proposed. Then effects of driving pattern and energy management strategy as the main factors, which strongly affect the fuel consumption and emission of pollutants, are investigated for HEVs and PHEVs. For this purpose fuzzy logic controller which is optimized with genetic algorithm is developed for energy management system. Then vehicle performance is simulated in ADVISOR. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for reducing the fuel consumption and emissions. Furthermore, simulation results indicate that PHEVs in comparison to HEVs improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in real world driving cycle.
