Many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. The full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (V) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. The size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. This research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. This vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

The first commercially available plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the General Motors (GM) Volt, was introduced into the market in mid-December 2010. The Volt uses a series-split powertrain architecture, which provides benefits over the series architecture that typically has been considered for use in electric-range extended vehicles (EREVs). A specialized EREV powertrain, called the Volt...

For the sake of high-efficiency energy recycling and brake security for series-parallel hybrid electric vehicle, an integrated brake system with an electric consuming brake subsystem and advanced strategy is proposed. The specific structure of electric consuming brake subsystem is introduced. The brake processes in different brake conditions are analyzed. A brake control strategy relying on the...

Hybrid electric vehicles with significant all-electric range provide a promising alternative to zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) without the problem of the limited range of electric vehicles. Ovonic nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries feature a combination of high power and energy density ideal for ZEV-range hybrid electric vehicles. A series of high-power, highenergy batteries ranging in size f...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...
