The most concerning issue of these days is the energy crisis caused by increasing threat of dependence on imported oil and volatile market trend. Under these circumstances, the PHEV(plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) is drawing attention for the next generation's car which could give a chance to decrease the dependence on imported oil and reduce the environmental impact of vehicle. The fueling cost of PHEV, one of the core factor of decision about buying car, should be calculated in the circumstances of Korea to make sure that PHEV has competitive power in real market. The fuel cost saving of PHEV versus CV(conventional vehicle) is simulated and discussed in the condition of increasing gasoline cost, electricity rate, and city-gas rate. In conclusion, the PHEV60-FS shows the best economic feasibility when gasoline price goes up. The PHEV20 has the most stable economic feasibility as electricity rate increases. The fuel cell cogeneration system for RPG could be an alternative for charger of PHEV in the near future.

Online simulations are utilized to reduce time and cost in the development and performance optimization of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EV) systems. One of the most important factors in an online simulation is the accuracy of the model. In particular, a model of a battery should accurately reflect the properties of an actual battery. However, precise dynamic modeling of high-capacity battery systems, which significantly affects the performance of a PHEV, is difficult because of its nonlinear electrochemical characteristics. In this study, a dynamic model of a high-capacity battery cell for a PHEV is developed through the extraction of the equivalent impedance parameters using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Based on the extracted parameters, a battery cell model is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink, and charging/discharging profiles are executed for comparative verification. Based on the obtained results, the model is optimized for a high-capacity battery cell for a PHEV. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results, thereby validating the developed model and verifying its accuracy.

본 논문은 최근 북미 지역을 중심으로 상용화에 대한 기대가 높아지고 있는 플러그인 하이브리드 전기자동차가 배터리의 충전을 위해 전기에너지 배전망에 직접 접속될 때 나타날 수 있는 설비의 과부하 및 전압문제 등에 대한 평가방법을 제안하고 실제 계통에 대한 평가결과를 분석한다. 플러그인 하이브리드 전기자동차가 일반 가정에서 충전되기 시작할 경우 전기에너지 배전계통은 가정에서 사용되어 오던 기존의 전기제품보다 훨씬 많은 전력을 소모하는 새로운 부하에 전력을 공급하게 되는 만큼 이를 배전계통의 설비계획에 반영하기 위한 모델링과 절차가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 미국 전력연구소에서 북미지역의 전력회사들과 함께 수행하고 있는 관련 연구 과제를 소개하며 OpenDSS 프로그램을 통해 배전계통과 플러그인 전기자동차의 충전부하를 모델링하고 충전시각과 전기자동차 배터리 형태에 따른 다양한 시나리오를 적용하여 배전계통에 대한 플러그인 전기자동차 충전부하의 영향을 분석한다.

In this paper, a new shift map was proposed to improve the fuel economy of a transmission mounted electric device(TMED) type dual clutch transmission(DCT) plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV) by considering transmission and motor losses. To construct the shift map, powertrain efficiencies of the engine-DCT-motor were obtained at each gear step. A shift map that provides the highest powertrain efficiency was constructed for the given wheel torque and vehicle speed. Simulation results showed that the fuel economy of the target PHEV can be improved by the new shift map compared with the existing engine optimal operating line(OOL) shift control.

As Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle and Electric Vehicle (PHEV/EV) take a greater share in the personal automobile market, their high penetration levels may bring potential challenges to electric utility especially at the distribution level. Thus, there is a need for the flexible charging management strategy to compromise the benefits of both PHEV/EV owners and power grid side. There are many different management methods that depend on the objective function and the constraints caused by the system. In this paper, the schema and dispatching schedule of centralized PHEV/EV charging spot network are analyzed. Also, we proposed and compared three power allocation strategies for centralized charging spot. The first strategy aims to maximize state of vehicles at plug-out time, the rest methods are equalized allocation and prioritized allocation based on vehicles SoC. The simulation results show that each run of the optimized algorithms can produce the satisfactory solutions to response properly the requirement from PHEV/EV customers.

HomePlug AV(HPAV)는 댁내에 깔려있는 전력선을 이용하여 데이터 전송뿐만 아니라 음향과 영상까지 전송을 목표로 HomePlug Alliance에서 제정한 표준이다. 이 표준은 TDMA와 CSMA/CA 기술을 혼합하여 사용하는 MAC 기술을 사용한다. HPAV의 CSMA/CA 프로토콜은 Contention Window(CW)와 Deferral Counter(DC)라는 두 가지 주요한 변수를 가지고 HPAV 네트워크를 제어한다. 본 논문에서는 CW와 DC가 성능에 미치는 영향을 여러 각도에서 조명하였고 이를 기반으로 HPAV MAC의 수율을 높이기 위한 적응적 CW 조절 방식을 제안한다. 여러 실험을 통해 얻은 결과 CW가 DC 보다 수율에 더 민감한 성질을 가지고 있어서 제안하는 방식은 DC는 표준에 정의된 기본값을 사용하고 CW만을 조정한다. 제안하는 방식은 네트워크가 과부하가 걸려있다면 CW를 두 배로 늘려주고 네트워크의 부하가 적으면 CW를 반으로 줄여주는 단순한 방식을 이용함으로 복잡도를 낮춰 구현이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 모의실험과 수리분석을 통해 제안하는 방식이 여러 다양한 환경에서 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are specialized hybrid electric vehicles that have the potential to obtain enough energy for average daily commuting from batteries. The PHEV battery would be recharged from the power grid at home or at work and would thus allow for a reduction in the overall fuel consumption. This paper proposes an integrated power electronics interface for PHEVs, which consists of a novel Eight-Switch Inverter (ESI) and an interleaved DC/DC converter, in order to reduce the cost, the mass and the size of the power electronics unit (PEU) with high performance at any operating mode. In the proposed configuration, a novel Eight-Switch Inverter (ESI) is able to function as a bidirectional single-phase AC/DC battery charger/ vehicle to grid (V2G) and to transfer electrical energy between the DC-link (connected to the battery) and the electric traction system as DC/AC inverter. In addition, a bidirectional-interleaved DC/DC converter with dual-loop controller is proposed for interfacing the ESI to a low-voltage battery pack in order to minimize the ripple of the battery current and to improve the efficiency of the DC system with lower inductor size. To validate the performance of the proposed configuration, the indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to optimize the efficiency of the AC drive system in PHEVs. The maximum efficiency of the motor is obtained by the evaluation of optimal rotor flux at any operating point, where the PSO is applied to evaluate the optimal flux. Moreover, an improved AC/DC controller based Proportional-Resonant Control (PRC) is proposed in order to reduce the THD of the input current in charger/V2G modes. The proposed configuration is analyzed and its performance is validated using simulated results obtained in MATLAB/ SIMULINK. Furthermore, it is experimentally validated with results obtained from the prototypes that have been developed and built in the laboratory based on TMS320F2808 DSP.

Electric vehicles (EV) are emerging as the future transportation vehicle reflecting their potential safe environmental advantages. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) system describes the hybrid system in which the EV can communicate with the utility grid and the energy flows with insignificant effect between the utility grid and the EV. The paper presents an optimal power control and energy management strategy for Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations using Wind-PV-FC-Battery renewable energy sources. The energy management optimization is structured and solved using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) to determine and distribute at each time step the charging power among all accessible vehicles. The Model-Based Predictive (MPC) control strategy is used to plan PEV charging energy to increase the utilization of the wind, the FC and solar energy, decrease power taken from the power grid, and fulfil the charging power requirement of all vehicles. Desired features for EV battery chargers such as the near unity power factor with negligible harmonics for the ac source, well-regulated charging current for the battery, maximum output power, high efficiency, and high reliability are fully confirmed by the proposed solution.
