Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicles are one of the most suitable alternative for conventional automobiles. This paper describes a control strategy for a hybrid electric vehicle, in order to reduce the fuel consumption, and to maintain a reasonable state of charge (SOC), at the end of the drive cycle. The main goal is to split the requested power from the driver between the internal combustion engine, and the electric motor, such way to decrease the fuel consumption, and to maintain the dynamic performances. The algorithm was tested using Matlab Simulink and ADVISOR interface. The results include statistical comparisons of the standard drive cycles using default model and the modified control strategy.
