The methodology will be described together with vehicle and components simulation and sizing principles. To ensure a systematic approach, with no bias for any of the cases considered, the energy management of the hybrid drivetrain will be carried out thanks to an optimization based on the Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. As hybrid fuel consumption is highly dependant on vehicle type of use, the hybrid vehicles will be evaluated on different actual use driving patterns as well as on missions representing the daily usage of the vehicle. The methodology and a panel of results are presented in the paper. Keywords: HEV, plug-in HEV, components sizing, energy consumption, simulation, optimized energy management 1 Introduction of map representations of the differently sized components (battery, electric HEVs are complex systems in which many machine, IC engine, etc.); parameters could impact the fuel economy potential and it appears that car and component 2. a method to compute the optimal vehicle manufacturers are unveiling various types of energy management (torque, speed, power) architectures (Toyota, Honda, GM, BMW, as a function of time for a given drive Daimler, Nissan, PSA, BYD...). cycle, based on optimal control theory and Pontryagin's Minimum Principle.
