The main aim of this work is to investigate whether a cost competitive hybrid electric vehicle can be designed and under what conditions this can be achieved. For this purpose, first a light commercial vehicle is considered. Its model is developed in ADVISOR environment in Matlab and verified by comparing with the official tests of the vehicle, acceleration and NEDC fuel consumption, namely. Following that, electrical components are searched for rating, dimension, weight and cost through the literature and market in order to model the hybrid vehicle. A sizing approach which makes use of the energy and power requirements at the wheel of the conventional vehicle on NEDC cycle is proposed. Using the electrical component models, verified conventional vehicle model and the new sizing approach, a hybrid vehicle is modeled. Hybrid vehicle is found to consume 55% less than the conventional vehicle on NEDC cycle and it accelerates from 0 to 100 kph 36% slower than the conventional vehicle. Hybrid vehicle is heavier than conventional vehicle around 20% and its initial cost is 1.65 times the conventional vehicle. However, with 200 km per day usage, hybrid vehicle is found to overtake conventional vehicle in 2.8 years in terms of total vehicle costs. Running and initial costs of the vehicle are calculated depending on the component ratings to develop a mathematical model for optimization. After executing parameter sensitivity analysis for different cases, Genetic Algorithm optimization process has taken place using the hybrid vehicle model and the cost calculations, to achieve the purpose of developing a cost competitive hybrid electric vehicle from various aspects. Optimization results are found out to be 0.1% close to proposed sizing method results whereas conventional sizing method is 5% close. Proposed method resulted in lower initial cost and 10 years term running costs than the conventional sizing method.

Modeling and optimization of hybrid electric vehicles Özden, Burak Şamil; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) The main goal of this thesis study is the optimization of the basic design parameters of hybrid electric vehicle drivetrain components to minimize fuel consumption and emission objectives, together with constraints derived from performance requirements. In order to generate a user friendly and flexible platform to model, select drivetrain components, simulate performance, and optimize parameters of series and parallel hybrid electric vehicles, a MATLAB based graphical user interface is designed. A basic siz...
Efficiency Optimization of a Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Sergaki, Eleftheria S.; Moustaizis, Stavros D. (2011-09-10) The main contribution of this paper is the application of Loss Minimization control algorithm of a three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor which is used in parallel with an internal combustion engine (ICE), in hybrid electric vehicles (HEY). During steady state operation of the electric motor, the electric motor's optimal motor flux profile minimizes the electric motor losses and maximizes the overall HEN efficiency, hybridization factor (HF). During steady state operation of the direct torque controlled ...
Parameter Estimation of Electric Vehicles for Improved Range Prediction Saglam, Berkay; Bostancı, Emine; Göl, Murat (2021-01-01) © 2021 IEEE.In order to improve performance of range estimation of electric vehicles, parameters that affect energy consumption should be determined accurately. This paper presents a parameter estimation methodology for electric vehicles based on least squares method. In this study, the power and angular velocity of wheels are measured from the vehicle directly. In addition to those, the directional velocity data is extracted from the GPS signal, in order to avoid the parameter dependency between the angula...
Assessment of impacts of electric vehicles on low voltage distribution networks in Turkey Temiz, Armağan; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has reached a substantial value all over the globe due to economic and environmental factors. The increasing penetration of EVs to the distribution grids urges the requirement to investigate the impacts of EVs on the planning and operation of distribution networks. Despite the fact that there are numerous studies discussing the impacts of EVs on distribution grids, a particular study concerning the Turkish distribution networks does not exist. Therefore, this study focu...
Optimisation of Operational Modes of Short-Route Hybrid Ferry: A Life Cycle Assessment Case Study Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (null; 2017-10-11) Owing to high operation cost of traditional power systems and serious environmental situation, hybrid power system is increasingly attracting attentions. Applying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the objective of this paper is to evaluate and optimise the operational modes of hybrid system for a short-route ferry in Scotland, which combines generators and batteries and includes four operational modes based on the power requirements. A top-bottom design strategy is applied to build up the short-route fe...
