Introducing a complete set of tools for building successful hybrid vehicle systems

With design techniques for hybrid vehicles advancing at a rapid pace, engineers are increasingly looking for rigorous methods for solving hybrid vehicle modeling and control problems. Addressing these developments, this book introduces a systematic, self-contained treatment of all major aspects of modeling, control, simulation, performance analysis, and design. In addition to information on system configuration and main components, it also details their characteristics and mathematical models.

With a strong emphasis on modeling, controls, and algorithm implementation, the book includes a wealth of figures and examples drawn from the author's years of hands-on experience working with real-world hybrid vehicle systems. Complete with appendices outlining essential modeling and parameter estimation techniques as well as advanced control techniques, this book features:

• Guidance on energy storage systems, including related algorithms and issues affecting drivability and durability
• Energy management strategies, including optimization methods for solving fuel economy and performance problems
• Solutions for unique control problems, from engine fluctuation torque dumping to active electric suspension system control
• Insight into the plug-in charging technology, including its anticipated impact on the electric grid and power distribution
• Models of main system components readers can use to analyze performance and calculate fuel economy and emissions

Introduction to Hybrid Vehicle System Modeling and Control arms engineers with the tools to tackle technical challenges in the field, develop algorithms, and leverage cutting-edge techniques for building successful, high-performance hybrid vehicle systems.
