Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are gaining attention nowadays due to their environmental impact. However, there is less attention in terms of conversion of conventional vehicles (CVs) into PHEVs to address the environmental impact of present vehicles running on the road. This study examines fuel economy and emissions of parallel converted PHEV (CPHEV) and compares them with CV for urban dynamometer driving schedule and West Virginia suburban driving schedule. The parameters of conventional 2L diesel engine car and its con-verted version of a PHEV are used for the study. In-depth analysis of a CV and CPHEV has been done. ADVISOR software is used in linking with MATLAB as a simulation tool. The results show a significant re-duction in emissions and fuel consumption of CPHEV compared to CV, which motivates for conversion of CVs into PHEVs.

Abstract


Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are gaining attention nowadays due to their environmental impact. However, there is less attention in terms of conversion of conventional vehicles (CVs) into PHEVs to address the environmental impact of present vehicles running on the road. This study examines fuel economy and emissions of parallel converted PHEV (CPHEV) and compares them with CV for urban dynamometer driving schedule and West Virginia suburban driving schedule. The parameters of conventional 2L diesel engine car and its con-verted version of a PHEV are used for the study. In-depth analysis of a CV and CPHEV has been done. ADVISOR software is used in linking with MATLAB as a simulation tool. The results show a significant re-duction in emissions and fuel consumption of CPHEV compared to CV, which motivates for conversion of CVs into PHEVs.
