Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue “Advanced Power Electronics in Hybrid Vehicles” will address all the relevants aspects in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) power electronics. It is well known that in the future electric vehicles will be the only vehicles in use, but now and in the near future, the combustion engine is and will be the dominant engine. For this reason, the hybrid electric vehicle has great importance and can drive a high level of innovation.

For instance, the great development of power electronics, e.g, wide-band-gap semiconductors, has allowed the reconsideration of architectures such as series architecture. Other technological innovations in this area are the storage field, i.e., supercap, and batteries, which will be sources of innovation for HEVs.

This Special Issue is focused on bringing together the innovative developments and synergies in the field of hybrid electric vehicles.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs);
  • Hybrid parallel HEV architecture;
  • Hybrid series HEV architecture;
  • Energy management in HEVs;
  • Control strategies in HEVs;
  • Wide-band-gap converters for HEVs;
  • High efficiency converters for HEVs;
  • Storage systems for HEVs;
  • Supercap management for HEVs;
  • Batteries management for HEVs.

This paper proposes a double layered multi parameters braking energy recovery control strategy for Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which can combine the mechanical brake system with the motor brake system in the braking process to achieve higher energy utilization efficiency and at the same time ensure that the vehicle has sufficient braking performance and safety performance. The first layer of the control strategy proposed in this paper aims to improve the braking force distribution coefficient of the front axle. On the basis of following the principle of braking force distribution, the braking force of the front axle and the rear axle is reasonably distributed according to the braking strength. The second layer is to obtain the proportional coefficient of regenerative braking, considering the influence of vehicle speed, braking strength, and power battery state of charge (SOC) on the front axle mechanical braking force and motor braking force distribution, and a three-input single-output fuzzy controller is designed to realize the coordinated control of mechanical braking force and motor braking force of the front axle. Finally, the AMESim and Matlab/Simulink co-simulation model was built; the braking energy recovery control strategy proposed in this paper was simulated and analyzed based on standard cycle conditions (the NEDC and WLTC), and the simulation results were compared with regenerative braking control strategies A and B. The research results show that the braking energy recovery rate of the proposed control strategy is respectively 2.42%, 18.08% and 2.56%, 16.91% higher than that of the control strategies A and B, which significantly improves the energy recovery efficiency of the vehicle.

The use of series architecture nowadays is mainly on hybrid buses. In comparison with series-parallel and parallel architectures, which are usually exploited on medium-size cars, the series architecture allows achieving internal combustion engine higher efficiency. The downside of this architecture, due to a double energy conversion (i.e., mechanical energy converted in electrical energy and electrical energy converted again in mechanical energy), is that additional losses are introduced. For this reason, the parallel and the series/parallel architectures were considered more suitable for hybrid medium-size cars. Nevertheless, the use of new technologies can change this scenario. Regarding storage systems, supercapacitors achieved a significant energy density, and they guarantee much higher efficiency than battery storage. Moreover, the use of wide-bandgap components for power electronic converters, such as silicon carbide devices, assure lower losses. In this scenario, the series architecture can become competitive on medium-size cars. This paper shows a review of various studies performed on this topic. Full article
