Abstract

Nowadays, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have been speedily developed and deployed by automobile manufacturers to improve fuel consumption and emissions. Among different hybrid configurations, the power-split HEV combines the advantages of series and parallel hybrids. However, optimization of its operation mode depends on many components such as an internal combustion engine, motors/generators, battery, and power-split device. Besides, the control strategy development for power-split HEV is more complex compared with the other HEV. This study focused on control strategies of power flow in power-split HEV system. Based on the analysis of efficiency in a representative driving cycle, a fuzzy torque control strategy was developed to optimize the power management of the power-split HEV. The power-split HEV model had been built with Matlab/Simulink package, and the simulation results showed significant improvements in fuel consumption and performance.
