Generalized Model for Control of Energy Flows in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles.

In the current paper a generalized mathematical model for control of energy flows in electric and hybrid vehicles is proposed. This solution includes an electric motor and internal combustion engine with their control. The main objective of this study is to estimate the optimal distribution of energy between several supplying sources. The used methodology is described with mathematical equations. The proposed model is realized in the environment MATLAB/Simulink. The generalized model allow better control and optimization of the entire system during acceleration and regenerative braking processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
