“…A plug-in hybrid in a parallel configuration can use an on-board battery to travel on electricity from the grid, and it can operate as a traditional HEV, burning liquid fuel (6,7). PHEVs provide electric-powered travel, but have ranges comparable with conventional vehicles because they can operate as HEVs.…”

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which use electricity from the grid to power a portion of travel, could play a role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector. However, meaningful GHG emissions reductions with PHEVs are conditional on low-carbon electricity sources. We assess life cycle GHG emissions from PHEVs and find that they reduce GHG emissions by 32% compared to conventional vehicles, but have small reductions compared to traditional hybrids. Batteries are an important component of PHEVs, and GHGs associated with lithium-ion battery materials and production account for 2-5% of life cycle emissions from PHEVs. We consider cellulosic ethanol use and various carbon intensities of electricity. The reduced liquid fuel requirements of PHEVs could leverage limited cellulosic ethanol resources. Electricity generation infrastructure is long-lived, and technology decisions within the next decade about electricity supplies in the power sector will affect the potential for large GHG emissions reductions with PHEVs for several decades.

“…SHEV's control strategy mainly includes thermostat and power follower [6].In order to have the optimal performance of the whole power system, the integrated control strategy combining two control strategies is adopted. The control strategy is shown in Figure 2.The key parameters in the M file are modified as follows: cs_hi_soc=0.8; cs_lo_soc=0.4; cs_min_pwr= fc_map_spd*fc_map_trq*.45; cs_max_pwr=fc_map_spd*fc_max_trq*.65; …”

With the development of the economy, the city traffic become heavier in China. The urban bus often stops but its speed is not very high. What's more, the heavy consumption of fuel is causing serious pollution to the urban environment. In order to solve this problem, components parameters of series hybrid electric bus (SHEB) are designed and matched with the ADVISOR simulation software based on Matlab_simulink. Compared to the traditional bus, SHEB greatly improves fuel economy and reduce the emissions.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) represent a promising pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the U.S. transportation sector. A large-scale shift from gasoline-powered automobiles to PHEVs would inextricably link the U.S. transportation system with its electric system. We build on [4] to perform a regional emissions analysis of a PHEV use pattern where PHEVs are charged at night and discharged during the day. We find that in some coal-intensive regions like the Midwest, charging PHEVs by burning coal may produce more emissions than burning gasoline. Overnight charging of PHEVs will deteriorate the system load factor by increasing offpeak demand. This may have deleterious effects on system infrastructure. We perform some simple simulations looking at the effect of off-peak PHEV charging on the performance of oilcooled substation transformers.
