Modeling, control design and performance analysis of PHEV powertrain

Developing Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is becoming an active research field of new type electric automobiles for its high fuel economy and low emissions. Due to the complexity of PHEV powertrain, simulation becomes an important method in study of PHEV control strategy. In this paper, a forward-facing simulation software and the models of PHEV powertrain based on MATLAB/Simulink are developed to study on the PHEV control strategy. The simulation results are also shown in the paper.
