This paper describes a driving scheme of the series hybrid electric vehicle that we have developed. Both series HEV and parallel HEV are well known. We chose series HEV because it provides good energy efficiency in urban driving and operates in all-electric mode in performance. And engine-Generator is driven at constant speed with constant load to maintain the low emission. And the battery supplies power during high-load and receive energy during low-load

The purpose of this study is development of universal engine model for integrated Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) simulator and a optimization of engine model. The engine model of this study is based on the MATLAB Simulink for universal and include engine fuel economy technologies for HEV. Various engine fuel economy technologies for HEV is estimated by commercial engine 1-D simulation program - WAVE. And, the 1-D simulation model of base version is compared with engine experiment result. The analyzed engine technologies with 1-D simulation are Dual-CVVT, Atkinson-Cycle and Cylinder-Deactivation System. There are improvement of fuel economy and power performance with Dual-CVVT model at part load and full load, pumping loss reduction with Cylinder-Deactivation System at idle and regeneration. Each estimated technologies are analyzed by 1-D simulation on all operation region for base data to converse simulink. The simulink based engine model maintains a signal with ECU for determination of engine operation point.

Response characteristics of the CVT system for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) are investigated. From the experiment, CVT ratio control algorithm for the optimal engine operation is obtained. To investigate the effect of the CVT system dynamic characteristics on the HEV performance, a hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) is performed. In the HILS, hardwares of the CVT belt-pulley and hydraulic control valves are used. It is found that the engine performance by the open loop CVT ratio control shows some deviation from the OOL in spite of the RCVs open loop control ability. To improve the engine performance, a closed loop control of the CVT ratio is proposed with variable control gains depending on the shift direction and the CVT speed ratio range by considering the nonlinear characteristics of the RCV and CVT belt-pulley dynamics. The HILS results show that the engine performance is improved by the closed loop control showing the operation trajectory close to the OOL.

This research presents a simulation for the fuel economy of parallel diesel hybrid vehicle. Diesel engines compared to gasoline engines have the advantages of higher fuel economy and lower $CO_2$ emission. One of the most ways to meet future fuel economy and emissions regulation is to combine diesel engine technology with a hybrid electric vehicle. The simulation of HEV is growing need for rapid analysis of the many configurations and component options. WAVE, a one-dimensional engine analysis tool, was used to a 2.7L diesel engine. ADVISOR, designed for rapid analysis of the performance and fuel economy of vehicle models, was used to conventional and hybrid electric vehicle by the use of output file from WAVE as the input engine data file for ADVISOR. A parallel diesel HEV is at least $19.7{\sim}36%$ higher fuel economy and improved acceleration ability compared to a conventional diesel vehicle. The energy loss of the parallel diesel HEV is $23{\sim}38%$ less than the conventional vehicle using regeneration.

In this work, the fuel economy of a parallel hybrid electric vehicle is investigated. A vehicle control algorithm which yields operating points where operational cost of HEV is minimal is suggested. The operational cost of HEV is decided considering both the cost of fossil fuel consumed by an engine and the cost of electricity consumed by an electric motor. A procedure for obtaining the operating points of minimal fuel consumption is introduced. Simulations are carried out for 3 variations of HEV and the results are compared to the fuel economy of a conventional vehicle in order to investigate the effect of hybridization. Simulation results show that HEV with the vehicle control algorithm suggested in this work has a fuel economy 45% better than the conventional vehicle if braking energy is recuperated fully by regeneration and idling of the engine is eliminated. The vehicle modification is also investigated to obtain the target fuel economy set in PNGV program.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV) is driven by an internal-combustion engine and an electric motor. It is a combination of an internal-combustion engine and several electrical equipments which use a high voltage battery, an electric motors, an inverter and others. But there is not any separate detailed enforcement regulations for high voltage electric appliances in the existing vehicle-related safety standards. So, test standards suggestion as well as test technique development need to be done for ensuring electrical safety, for an electric motor, a high voltage battery, a(n) inverter/converter and an electric power transmission units and other equipments to ensure the safety of high voltage electric appliances which is the HEV key electrical component. In this paper, We are to provide helpful data to support test technique development and test standard establishment for HEV design and electrical safety security by the following methods; by measuring the voltage, the electric current, and the frequency of HEV, by analyzing electrical characteristics of high voltage electric appliances, and by analyzing temperature characteristics of the electrical current among the analyzed electrical characteristics by thermal imagining cameras.

In this paper, operation algorithms for a parallel HEV equipped with a relatively small motor are investigated. For the HEV, the power assist and the equivalent fuel algorithms are proposed. In the power assist algorithm, an electric motor is used to assist the engine which provides the primary power source. Tn the equivalent fuel algorithm, the electric energy stored in the battery is considered to be an equivalent fuel, and an equivalent brake specific fuel consumption for the electric energy is proposed. From the equivalent fuel algorithm, distribution of the engine power and the motor power is determined to minimize the fuel consumption for a given battery state of charge (SOC) and a required vehicle power. It is found from the simulation results that the fuel economy and the final battery SOC depend on the motor discharge energy and it is the best way to charge the battery only by the regenerative braking, not by the engine to improve the overall fuel efficiency of the HEV with the relatively small motor.

In order to improve fuel economy and emissions, many studies of HEV have been conducted. However, most of these studies concentrate on parallel or power-split HEVs. Series-type HEVs have some advantages over parallel and power-split HEVs. One is that the engine is operated at high efficiency since the engine and the driveshaft are decoupled. Nevertheless, the optimization of the powertrain system of series HEV has not been specifically addressed. We conduct an optimization of the generation system of a series HEV based on the series HEV bus. The main objectives are to simulate the system and to compare the fuel economies of conventional and optimized generation systems.

Hybrid Electronic Vehicle (HEV) is one of the solutions of high oil price and environment problem. Recently, study of HEV is important for automobile industry. However HEV has a lot of components and there are many cases for assembling, it's impossible to test results from assembling by using real vehicles. To solve this problem, hybrid system simulator is required. The purpose of this study is to develop and optimize of engine module for hybrid system simulator.
