ENERGY STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND TESTING FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

摘要

Energy storage requirements for power-assist and dual-mode operations have been developed for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Currently, there are no energy storage devices that meet all of the energy storage requirements for the hybrid electric vehicle application. Additionally, existing test cycles are not designed to measure the performance of such devices under the variety of operating conditions required by the application. Considerations for testing such devices are described and discussed, and prototype test cycles are defined for trial use by the hybrid vehicle community.
