RT Conference Proceedings T1 Comparison of different Hybrid Electric Vehicles concepts in terms of consumption and efficiency A1 Torres, O. A1 Bader, B. A1 Romeral, J. L. A1 Lux, G. A1 Ortega, J. A. AB The objective of this paper is to compare the most common HEV power train stractures. As a first step, forward and backward models of these vehicle concepts are implemented using Modelica/Dymola in order to evaluate and compare the energy consumption. Taking into account fuel/electrical consumption and the losses in the powertrain components, a comparison of two different alternatives of Hybrid Electric Vehicle models (parallel structure and Range Extender) are presented in this publication. To simulate these models using different driving cycles, a rule-based operating strategy is implemented. As a second step, a Dynamic Programming (DP) based algorithm is applied to these models. This algorithm is used to determine the optimal fuel consumption for given driving cycles. A comparison of the DP results and rule-based results is carried out to evaluate the potential improvement that is possible to achieve optimizing the energy management strategy and the size of the powertrain components.
