We consider the scheduling of deferrable charging demand for plug-in electric or hybrid-electric vehicles (PEVs/PHEVs) in the smart grid such that the grid is operating within the safety charging threshold, and as many as consumers/users are satisfied by the end of a finite horizon (e.g., 8pm6am). Given that the charging profiles of PEVs/PHEVs are not constant and have a (truncated) prescribed ...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...

Abstract: A near-optimal rule-based mode control (RBC) strategy was proposed for a target plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) taking into account the drivetrain losses. Individual loss models were developed for drivetrain components including the gears, planetary gear (PG), bearings, and oil pump, based on experimental data and mathematical governing equations. Also, a loss model for the pow...

Introduction of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) could potentially trigger a stepwise electrification of the whole transportation sector. But the impact on the electric grid by electrical vehicle charging is still not fully known. This paper investigates several PHEV charging schemes, including smart charging, using a novel iterative approach. An agent based traffic demand model is used...

Battery life management is critical for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to prevent dangerous situations such as overcharging and over-discharging, which could cause thermal runaway. PHEVs have more complex operating conditions than EVs due their dual energy sources. Therefore, the SOH estimation PHEV needs consider specific characteristics of make calibrations accordingly. Firstly, we ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a design methodology for a power split type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) by considering drivetrain losses. Selecting the input split type PHEV with a single planetary gear as the reference topology, the locations of the engine, motor and generators (MGs), on the speed lever were determined by using the mechanical point considering the system efficiency. B...

The paper gives an economic assessment of Plug-In Hybrid cars. It analyses the impact of fuel prices and battery cost on their economic competitiveness and on the optimal electric driving range. To determine the proportion of electric driven kilometers to the overall kilometrage of the PHEV, data on average driving behavior of passenger car drivers in Austria is used. In a first step the total ...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have emerged as a promising technology that uses electricity to displace petroleum consumption in the vehicle fleet. This paper presents a comparison of the costs (vehicle purchase costs and energy costs) and benefits (reduced petroleum consumption) of PHEVs relative to hybrid electric and conventional vehicles. A detailed simulation model is used to pre...
