Reducing the Variability of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Fuel Economy in the Real World

摘要: Apart from improving the fuel economy, a reduction in variability of economy is also significant importance for hybrid electric vehicles. Previously, research on how to optimise sizes powertrain components vehicles has generally focused over given driving pattern. The realistic range patterns been overlooked, and this can mean that benefits are not consistently realised real-world usage. In recent study, new methodology design optimisation was proposed due variation patterns, but needs be validated usage practical applicability. paper, conditions. This paper investigated 10 generated by different drivers predefined route consisting urban highway driving. study carried out using simulation model Toyota Prius vehicle which considered as benchmark vehicle. produced reduced 5.3% without reducing average compared with patterns. demonstrates described applicable
