Advantages of hybrid vehicles over pure electric vehicles are obvious and well-known. The paper presents a simulation study of the optimization of hybrid propulsion drivetrain. A vehicle model was optimized in order to scale drivetrain components to achieve better fuel economy and lower greenhouse emissions. A set of ADVISOR data for vehicle was optimized by genetic algorithm in Matlab. Simulation results show significant fuel economy improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
