Hybrid optimization and its applications for multi-mode plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

This study provides an optimization methodology in powertrain configurations and energy management strategy for a multi-mode plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. The challenge in this study is that the energy management strategy is highly intertwined with the powertrain configurations; the problem-specific complexity of this powertrain makes it even more difficult. Based on the analysis of the powertrain architecture, a simulation model is...
