This paper presents a discussion of mathematical modeling, analysis, and simulation as key elements in the iterative process that includes the development of vehicle hardware system performance measures, computer control software, and ultimately, hybrid electric vehicle powertrain system synthesis. A hybrid powertrain system is synthesized via amalgamation of a conventional internal combustion engine powerplant-alternator combination with a lead acid battery-AC induction motion motor electric vehicle system. The inclusion of alternative power source components in the hybrid vehicle is discussed.
