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.8enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference outputEfficiencyEnergy consumptionModellingOptimizationParallel HEVPowertrainSeries HEVSimulationAutomotive EngineeringElectrical and Electronic EngineeringSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energyhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84877622883&partnerID=8YFLogxK
