Presence of an alternative energy source along with the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) appeals for optimal power split between them for minimum fuel consumption and maximum power utilization. Hence HEVs provide better fuel economy compared to ICE based vehicles/conventional vehicle. Energy management strategies are the algorithms that decide the power split between engine and motor in order to improve the fuel economy and optimize the performance of HEVs. This paper describes various energy management strategies available in the literature. A lot of research work has been conducted for energy optimization and the same is extended for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This paper concentrates on the battery powered hybrid vehicles. Numerous methods are introduced in the literature and based on these, several control strategies are proposed. These control strategies are summarized here in a coherent framework. This paper will serve as a ready reference for the researchers working in the area of energy optimization of hybrid vehicles.

Hybrid electric vehicles have great potential to reduce fuel consumption and palliate harmful emissions for better population health and climate change. These power trains are essential to meet current emissions legislation, contribute to more environmentally friendly mobility and improve air quality in big cities. In the past two decades, due to the advent growth of modern electric drives, battery technology, and intelligent charging methodology, the overall performance of the electric vehicles have improved. Many research works have been conducted to improve the efficiency and reliability. It increases the applications of electric vehicles. Apart from grid power, the use of renewable sources makes zero-emission rate and zero fuel cost. This chapter deals with the role of power converters in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). It deals with power converters used in hybrid electric vehicles, types of battery chargers, emerging power electronic devices, and thermal management of HEV power electronics, which are presented with the simulation using MATLAB software.

Control strategy is the most important issue in the Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) design, which has two modes: charge depleting mode (CD) and charge sustaining mode (CS). The different control strategies in depleting mode will have a great influence on PHEV dynamic performance and fuel economy. The engine optimal torque control strategy was proposed in the paper. The vehicle simulation model in Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) was adopted to evaluate the proposed control strategy. The aggressive highway drive cycle Artemis_hwy and a random drive cycle generated by Markov Process were used. The simulation results indicate the proposed control strategy has great improvement in fuel economy.
