Kuang, John Czubay, Member, IEEE, and Hao Ying, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have attracted a lot I. INTRODUCTION of attention due to environmental and efficiency reasons. Typically, an HEV combines two power trains, a conventional power source HE AUTOMOTIVE industry’s focus has been shifting such as a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or a fuel cell stack, and Ttoward an emphasis on environmentally clean, more ef- an electric drive system (involving a motor and a generator) to ficient, and safe products [1], [2]. This shift in the focus has produce driving power with a potential of higher fuel economy caused major automotive companies to set the environment and than conventional vehicles. Furthermore, such vehicles do not re- quire external charging and thus work within the existing fueling efficiency as two of their most important goals and are working infrastructures. The power-split power train configuration of an toward achieving them. They are actively developing various HEV has the individual advantages of the series and parallel types new technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid EVs of HEV power train configurations.
