Hybrid Electric Vehicle System Modeling and Control

This new edition includes approximately 30% new materials covering the following information that has been added to this important work:
• extends the contents on Li-ion batteries detailing the positive and negative electrodes and characteristics and other components including binder, electrolyte, separator and foils, and the structure of Li-ion battery cell. Nickel-cadmium batteries are deleted.
• adds a new section presenting the modelling of multi-mode electrically variable transmission, which gradually became the main structure of the hybrid powertrain during the last 5 years.
• newly added chapter on noise and vibration of hybrid vehicles introduces the basics of vibration and noise issues associated with powertrain, driveline and vehicle vibrations, and addresses control solutions to reduce the noise and vibration levels.
Chapter 10 (chapter 9 of the first edition) is extended by presenting EPA and UN newly required test drive schedules and test procedures for hybrid electric mileage calculation for window sticker considerations.
In addition to the above major changes in this second edition, adaptive charging sustaining point determination method is presented to have a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with optimum performance.
