Modeling and performance analysis of hybrid electric vehicles, suggesting improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions.
Growing concerns over environmental pollution and the depletion of fossil fuels have accelerated the development of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) as a sustainable alternative to conventional automobiles. This project focuses on the modelling and performance analysis of an HEV using MATLAB/Simulink, aiming to simulate a hybrid powertrain that integrates an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor. The study evaluates key performance metrics, including energy consumption, fuel efficiency, and emissions. A comprehensive model of the vehicle’s components comprising the battery, power electronics, and energy management system (EMS) is developed to optimize power distribution between the engine and motor. By leveraging model-based analysis, this project enhances the understanding of HEV performance optimization and lays the groundwork for advancing energy-efficient transportation solutions. The insights gained from this analysis can contribute to the refinement of HEV powertrains, ultimately reducing the environmental footprint of the automotive industry.
