PLUG IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT DESIGN USING DISCRETE BAT ALGORITHM

This paper presents an energy management for improved battery state of charge (SOC) in Plug-In-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Due to the on-board charging requirement of PHEV engine and generator a means for optimal charging of the battery SOC becomes necessary. This requirement is viewed as an optimal solution of maintaining the best possible bat...
