Summary: This study investigated the charging behavior of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and found that most users do not charge their vehicles overnight and engage in additional charging on 20-26% of driving days. The study also indicated that the utility factor should not be the sole measure of PHEV environmental performance.

Summary: The study investigated the daily charging behavior of over 10,000 Chevrolet Volt PHEVs and found that a percentage of users do not charge overnight, while additional charging occurs on 20-26% of driving days. It also concluded that the utility factor should not be the sole measure of environmental performance for PHEVs.

Summary: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are considered favorable transitional technology for road transport electrification. However, recent studies challenge their effectiveness in reducing CO2 emissions in real-world conditions. This study tested four Euro 6 PHEVs and found that their in-use CO2 emissions can range from 0 to 6 times the official type-approval CO2 value. A three-dimensional CO2 emissions model is proposed based on charge level and average trip speed or wheel energy. The study concludes that, although real-world emissions of PHEVs may increase compared to official values, they still generally remain lower than conventional powertrains.

Summary: Hybrid electric vehicles use a combination of fuel and electric power as power supply to improve fuel economy, requiring a well-designed energy management strategy to cope with the complexity of power distribution. Equivalent consumption minimisation strategy, with the use of an equivalent factor, is a promising technique for achieving real-time fuel economy optimisation and is classified based on its dependence on either online computation or offline pre-computation.

Summary: The energy management strategy (EMS) of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) plays a significant role in coordinating the efficient coupling operation between multiple power sources, improving fuel economy and transmission efficiency. By considering the temperature of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, a model predictive control (MPC)-based EMS is proposed to enhance vehicle performance and reduce IGBT temperature. The simulation results demonstrate that this strategy improves fuel economy by 13.88% and 13.48% compared to the rule-based (RB) strategy under different driving conditions, and effectively reduces IGBT temperature.

Summary: This study focuses on simulating and testing a novel storage system for a PHEV vehicle, which explores the possibility of replacing the original storage system with a mixed-storage system composed of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors connected in parallel without an intermediate DC/DC converter. The goal is to evaluate the performance of the supercapacitor branch compared to the Li-ion cells during discharge/charge transients and throughout the entire WLTP cycle. Digital models of the lithium cell and supercapacitor were first defined and tuned through experimental characterization. The overall models of the branch with lithium cells and the branch with supercapacitors were then constructed and connected.
