Analysis of Design Tradeoffs for Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles

摘要: This chapter presents a systematic analysis of the design tradeoffs present in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and model PHEV to review how studies literature can fit into model. The process is broken up three components including objectives, analyses, attributes where for exist at system level, vehicle subsystem level. study investigates summarizes that among these levels variety subsystems. finds majority date have used vehicle-level objectives guide level be achieved only by system-level analyses directly process. It also designs PHEVs are characterized strong connections between characteristics levels. Several case presented show designers found compromises achieve set objectives. Some demonstrate subsystem-level limit space thus restricting optimization toward whereas others may lead designer compromise performance pursuit optimized performance.
