Evaluation of Different Types of Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Their Control Strategies

General types of Hybrid Electric Vehicles architectures alongwith different control strategies are described in this paper. TheSeries, Parallel and Parallel Through The Road architectures areinvestigated as the general concepts for HEVs and theadvantages and disadvantages of these architectures withrespect to cost and control complexity are also compared.Although there are different approaches to control HEVs inorder to achieve higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions, butthe different control strategies have basic logics in common. Inthis regard, the general idea of controlling the HEVs fordifferent topology is discussed and the performance, fuelconsumption and emissions of the different HEV architecture iscontrasted.
