Ding, NLie, TPrasad, K2017-04-202017-04-2020172017International Journal of Transportation Systems, 2, 21-242534-8876https://hdl.handle.net/10292/10434Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been extensively researched to reduce the fuel consumption and tailpipe emission. The series-parallel power-split Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has been considered as one of the most suitable candidates. It contains both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electrical storage system (ESS) to achieve a better driving performance. The energy management system (EMS) is significant for a PHEV to improve the efficiency of the whole system. Electric vehicle mode (EV), charging depletion (CD) and charging sustaining (CS) modes will be discussed to build a control strategy in this study. This control strategy will be implemented with the state of charge (SoC) to show its impact through a simulation study.The "International Journal of Transportation Systems" is an open access journal. The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for academicians, researchers and practitioners all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in all areas of Transportation Systems.Blended mode; Control strategy; Emission; Fuel economy; PHEV; Simulation; SoCJournal ArticleOpenAccess
