Classification of hybrid vehicles are based on

There are different types of – Use electricity, or petroleum based fuels, as their main energy source – And, the motors (internal combustion vs electric motors), batteries, power systems and features (like plug in charging) they use to operate and run Summary – Types Of Electric Vehicles, & Hybrid Vehicles General Summary To illustrate this: Electric vehicles generally include HEVs, PHEVs, BEVs/AEVs & FCEVs. And, hybrid vehicles generally include HEVs, and PHEVs. Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid vehicles get their name from their ability to use both petroleum based fuel and electricity for propulsion. Because hybrids are able to use petroleum fuel, they may have greater driving range and other benefits in terms of performance that current all electric vehicles do not. There’s two main types of hybrids: Is not a full electric car because electricity is not the primary energy system This types of car primarily runs on petroleum based fuel, and electricity is supplementary Electricity might be generated from regenerative braking, but can also be generated via an electricity generator powered by the internal combustion motor in some models Does not plug in to charge with electricity – PHEVs (plug in hybrid electric vehicles) Has similarities to a HEV One of the major differences compared to a HEV is the ability of a PHEV to plug into an external power source to charge an electrical battery in the car Electric Vehicles Electric vehicles all use electricity for propulsion, and do so in di...

Hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular as they offer lower emissions, better fuel economy, and various incentives. However, not all hybrids are the same, and choosing the best one for your needs can be challenging. In this article, we will explain the different types and classifications of hybrid vehicles, and how to compare their performance, features, and costs. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that combines two or more power sources, usually an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The hybrid system can use the engine, the motor, or both to propel the vehicle, depending on the driving conditions and the mode of operation. The hybrid system can also recover energy from braking and store it in a battery or another device for later use. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions, and improves efficiency and performance. There are three main types of hybrid vehicles: series, parallel, and series-parallel. In a series hybrid, the engine only generates electricity for the motor, which drives the wheels. The engine does not directly power the vehicle, but it can charge the battery or provide extra power when needed. In a parallel hybrid, the engine and the motor can both drive the wheels, either separately or together. The engine can also charge the battery or assist the motor. In a series-parallel hybrid, the engine and the motor can both drive the wheels or generate electricity, depending on the situation. This type of hybrid can switch between series and parall...

hybrid [pronounced hahy-brid] noun A thing made by combining two different elements. Hybrid cars are becoming more and more prevalent and here at AA Thornton we handle patent applications directed to the wide range of technology involved. This brief article explains exactly what is meant by a “hybrid”, the different types of hybrid vehicle available and some of the technologies involved. What is a hybrid? Commonly called hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), as the definition above suggests, a hybrid car is simply one that relies on two different power sources for motion. The two different power sources are typically petrol and electricity (most common in the US) and diesel and electricity (which can be found in Europe). There are three main types of hybrid vehicle; full hybrids, mild hybrids and plug-in hybrids. • A full hybrid (FHEV) can run on just the combustion engine (i.e. diesel/petrol), the electric engine (i.e. power from batteries), or a combination. The Toyota Prius is the most commonly known example of this. A full hybrid is not plugged in to recharge; the battery is recharged by running the combustion engine. • A mild hybrid has an electric motor and combustion engine which always work together. An example of this is the Honda Accord Hybrid. Mild hybrids cannot run in just electric or just combustion engine mode; the engines/motors always work in parallel. • A plug-in hybrid (PHEV), as the name suggests, requires plugging into the mains in order to fully recharge it...

Figure 1 Basic configuration of hybrid vehicles 1. Series hybrid electric vehicle The schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the series hybrid vehicle drive system is shown in Figure 1 (a). In a series hybrid vehicle, the two components of the engine and the generator are usually integrated to form an APU. The engine drives the generator to generate electricity, and the generated electric energy is directly sent to the motor through the controller, and the motor generates a driving torque to drive the car. . The battery actually balances the output power of the engine-generator set and the input power of the motor: when the power generated by the generator is higher than the power required by the motor (the car is slowing down, driving at low speed, or short-term parking conditions), the controller controls The generator charges the battery; when the power generated by the generator is lower than the power required by the motor (car starting, acceleration, high-speed driving, and climbing conditions), the battery provides additional power to the motor. Compared with the transmission forms of other types of hybrid vehicles (parallel, hybrid), the transmission form of series hybrid electric vehicles has its own characteristics. (1) There is no direct mechanical connection between the engine, the electric motor, and the drive train, which makes the layout of the whole vehicle more free, and at the same time, the working state of the engine is not affected by the drivi...

HEVs typically consist of an electrical storage device, such as a battery, flywheel, or an ultracapacitor. They also combine this energy storage source with a mechanical device, like an internal-combustion engine (ICE), gas turbine, or a fuel cell. This combination reduces both fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions. In general, hybrids capture energy lost during braking and return it to the on-board battery. This process is termed regenerative braking. The nature of HEV configuration enables several important advantages over pure electric vehicles (EVs). Because the HEV engine shares the workload with the electric motor, it can be constructed smaller. This reduction in size engenders weight reductions, leading to greater fuel economy. Also, HEV engines can be optimized to operate within a specific speed range characterized by better fuel economy and reduced emissions. This allows HEVs to eliminate the higher emissions and poor fuel economy associated with conventional ICE vehicles. While all hybrid-electric vehicles require a hybrid power unit (HPU), there are a number of options open to automobile manufacturers. The most commonly employed HPU is the combustion engine. Optional HPU technologies include the compression-ignition/direct-injection (CIDI) engine, the spark-ignition/ direct-injection (SIDI) engine, the stirling engine, and the gas turbine engine. Providing greater driving range than systems that use only batteries, HEVs utilize liquid fuels, including gasoline...

Series Hybrid Configuration In a series hybrid configuration, driver’s command is used for controlling the P/Mprop power and ensuring that the vehicle follows the desired speed profile.

The SOC is the primary variable used for determining engine power. The particular challenge in developing the supervisory control for a hydraulic hybrid stems from the low energy density of the accumulator. While the battery serves as a huge buffer in the HEV system, the accumulator charge undergoes rapid transients and can easily be depleted. In that case the control needs to ensure that the power-generation subsystem directly fulfills the needs of the propulsion system. The traditional rule-based approach yields a thermostatic SOC control algorithm illustrated in Fig. 17.20. As long as the SOC is above the threshold value, for example, 0.4...
