This paper provided a validated modeling and a simulation of a 6 degree freedom vehicle longitudinal model and drive-train component in a series hybrid electric vehicle. The 6-DOF vehicle dynamics model consisted of tire subsystems, permanent magnet synchronous motor which acted as the prime mover coupled with an automatic transmission, hydraulic brake subsystem, battery subsystem, alternator subsystem and internal combustion engine to supply the rotational input to the alternator. A speed and torque tracking control systems of the electric power train were developed to make sure that the power train was able to produce the desired throttle torque in accelerating the vehicle. A human-in-the-loop-simulation was utilized as a mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid electric vehicle. The proposed simulation was used as the preliminary result in identifying the capability of the vehicle in terms of the maximum speed produced by the vehicle and the capability of the alternator to recharge the battery. Several tests had been done during the simulation, namely sudden acceleration, acceleration and braking test and unbounded motion. The results of the simulation showed that the proposed hybrid electric vehicle can produce a speed of up to 70 km/h with a reasonable charging rate to the battery. The findings from this study can be considered in terms of design, optimization and implementation in a real vehicle.

Chapter 10 presents the principles of the plug-in hybrid power train (PHEV) operation. The power trains of the battery-powered vehicle (BEV – pure electric) are close to the plug in hybrid drives. For this reason, the pure electric mode of operation of the plug in hybrid power train is very important. The vehicle’s range of driving autonomy must be extended. It means the design process has to be focused on energy economy, emphasizing electricity consumption. Simultaneously, the increasing of the battery’s capacity causes its mass and volume also to increase. Generally, it is not recommended. After many tests, one can observe the strong dependence between the proper multiple gear speed, the proper mechanical transmission adjustment, and the vehicle’s driving range, which in the case of the plug-in hybrid power train means long distance of a drive using the majority the battery’s energy. The mechanical ratio’s proper adjustment and its influence on the vehicle’s driving range autonomy is discussed in the chapter. Three types of the automatic mechanical transmission are depicted: the toothed gear (ball), the belt’s continuously variable transmission, and the planetary transmission system called the “Compact Hybrid Planetary Transmission Drive,” equipped additionally with tooth gear reducers, connected or disconnected by the specially constructed electromagnetic clutches. The number of mechanical ratios—gear speeds—depends on the vehicle’s size, mass, and function, which in the majority of cases means the maximal speed value.

Chapter 9 is devoted to simulation research showing the influence of changes of the power train’s parameters and control strategy on the vehicle’s energy consumption, depending on different driving conditions. The control strategy role is to manage how much energy, frankly speaking, how much of the torque-speed relations referring to the power alteration, are flowing to or from each component. In this way, the components of the hybrid power train have to be integrated with a control strategy, and of course, with its energetic parameters to achieve the optimal design for a given set of constraints. The hybrid power train is very complex and non-linear to its every component. One effective method of system optimization is numerical computation, the simulation, as in the case of the multivalent suboptimal procedure regarding the number of electrical mechanical drive’s elements, whose simultaneous operation is connected with the proper energy flow control. The minimization of a power train’s internal losses is the target. The quality factor is minimal energy, as well as minimal fuel and electricity consumption. The fuel consumption by the hybrid power train has to be considered in relation to the conventional propelled vehicle. First of all, the commonly chosen statistic driving cycles should be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, this is not enough. The additional tests as for the vehicle’s climbing, acceleration, and power train behavior, referring to real driving situations, are strongly recommended during the drive design process.
