PLUG IN PARALLEL HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE OR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Abstract

Due to the high price of the fossil fuel and the aggravating environmental issues, plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) have gained high popularity recently. Through proper charging and discharging processes, the PHEV fleet can act as energy storage. In this paper the performance of PHEV at different operating strategies is presented. Comparison between PHEV and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is done and reported.
