The series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle, which employs a planetary gear set to combine one internal combustion engine and two electric motors, can take advantages of both series and parallel hybrid system by controlling power flows. In this system, the control of power flows means adjusting not only the amount and direction of mechanical and electrical power but also the operating point of the engine. This study introduces the power distribution strategy which uses control maps to minimize the loss in power flow and operate engine on efficient point. And the control maps can be obtained by optimization process seeking efficient operating point for the given speed, load and battery charge/discharge power. The suggested strategy distributes the power flows efficiently and further, it helps to build energy control strategy since battery power can be controlled easily.I.
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.
