A review on Hybrid Electric Vehicle and simulation on Hybrid Electric Vehicle Drivetrain

Abstract

This paper discusses about the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and the simulation on the Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicle Drivetrain. The concept and the classification of the HEV is discussed here and the simulation and analysis of a drivetrain for Parallel Electric Hybrid Engine (PHEV) was formulated on MATLAB Simulink. The methodology of simulation was to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle independently with the electric motor with engine running at constant speed. And the parameters such as electric motor and engine power were compared and observed. And research on CO2 emission and fuel consumption was made between the PHEV and Conventional Vehicle (ICE Vehicle). And the conclusion was made according to the research and the simulation that the development of HEV will have a great potential in fuel economy improvement.
