Using the pareto set pursuing multiobjective optimization approach for hybridization of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle - Vol.134(9), Sep - New York ASME 2012 - 1-6p.
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) can improve fuel economy and emission reduction significantly compared to hybrid electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Currently there lacks an efficient and effective approach to identify the optimal combination of the battery pack size, electric motor, and engine for PHEVs in the presence of multiple design objectives such as fuel economy, operating cost, and emission. This work proposes a design approach for optimal PHEV hybridization. Through integrating the Pareto set pursuing (PSP) multiobjective optimization algorithm and powertrain system analysis toolkit (PSAT) simulator on a Toyota Prius PHEV platform, 4480 possible combinations of design parameters (20 batteries, 14 motors, and 16 engines) were explored for PHEV20 and PHEV40 powertrain configurations.
