Energy management strategy of a new dual clutch parallel-series PHEV

Abstract

In order to improve vehicle fuel economy, an energy management strategy is designed. The model of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with dual clutch is constructed by combining GT-drive and MATLAB/Simulink. Different driving cycles are chose to run the simulation to verify energy management strategy. The results show that the energy management strategy can meet the power demand, and economy has improved significantly compared with the car equipped with single power source-engine.
