Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of HEV (Hybrid-Electric Vehicles) Powertrains on fuel economy and overall system efficiency. Three different hybrid-electric powertrains: Series; Parallel and Combined have been simulated on ADVISOR by the use of MATLAB platform. Three drive cycles, Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS), New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Highway Fuel Economy Transport Cycle (HWFET), were used to determine best Fuel Economy, Overall System Efficiency and Energy usage for each Powertrain. While Parallel Powertrain showed best fuel economy and system efficiency at lower speeds (20 mph) during frequent start-stops, Combined Hybrid showed much more significant fuel savings at constant speeds above 48 mph. In situations where both battery and engine power were required simultaneously, Combined Hybrid showed much higher system efficiency giving credence to its PowerSplit device. In conclusion, the selection of the pr...
