Summary: The study shows that the real-world average CO2 emissions of PHEVs vary depending on factors such as all-electric range, user group, and country. For private vehicles, the real-world CO2 emissions are significantly higher than test cycle values, mainly due to low charging frequency.

Summary: This study presents a predictive control strategy for optimal mode selection and powertrain control of a multimode PHEV, which reduces energy consumption by planning an optimal path of vehicle powertrain modes based on predictions of future vehicle behavior. By integrating optimal control methods, it achieves comprehensive supervision of multimode PHEV powertrain, successfully reducing energy consumption.

Summary: This paper proposes a methodology for developing hybrid models to evaluate fuel consumption, CO2 and pollutant emissions in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) enhances the accuracy of pollutant emissions prediction. The proposed models have advantages in terms of real-time performance and computational complexity, and are applicable to real-time simulations and hardware/software-in-the-loop applications.

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: To address the stability issues in hybrid vehicles under extreme road conditions, this study proposes a handling and stability management approach that combines offline optimization rules and online model predictive control. Through real vehicle testing, the effectiveness of the proposed torque coordination strategy is validated, showing significant improvements in cornering ability and stability compared to vehicles without torque control strategies.

Summary: This study analyzes data on the energy economy and environmental friendliness of passenger cars, aiming to propose the necessary developments to reduce CO2 emissions by the end of this decade. The findings suggest that sharing battery capacity among many plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) rather than a few battery electric vehicles would effectively reduce CO2 emissions in the life cycle analysis of road transport until 2030. Suggestions are also provided to improve the energy efficiency of PHEVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles over certification cycles.

Summary: The existing models for coordinating plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) based on uniform price methods neglect important network operation indexes and do not efficiently coordinate with distributed generations (DG). This paper introduces a new viewpoint based on locational marginal price (LMP) for effective coordination of PEVs and DGs in electricity day-ahead markets.

Summary: This article proposes new improvements to control plug-in hybrid electric vehicles using macro-level trip forecast information. The proposed approach combines dynamic programming, instantaneous optimization, simplex search algorithm, adaptive pricing policy, extended-horizon optimization, and a revised speed forecast formula to achieve high optimality in energy management. The combination of these methods significantly enhances the energy economy of the system, demonstrating over 99% average optimality for adopted drive cycles.

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.
