1.1 Why HEV?
Global automotive companies are making significant investments in developing new conceptautomobiles that deliver high efficiency output with low emission This trend is in line with worldwideefforts to develop alternative energy in preparation for depleting petroleum resources, as well as toreduce CO2 emission with strict environmental pollution regulations that call for reduced NOx andmeasures against global warming The world faces depletion of fossil fuel energy resources in the 21st
Century, and with increasing concern about global warming, there is an urgent need to develop vehiclesthat have reduced carbon dioxide emission and conform to the emission control regulations pertaining
to nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon
The state of California has forced major automobile manufacturers to produce a minimum of 2% of allvehicles as pollution-free automobiles Such strict regulation is anticipated to spread throughoutAmerica And the gasoline-powered vehicles is anticipated to fade into the history by 2030.Encouragingly, the market for hybrid vehicles is increasing and is forecast to account for 24% of theentire automobile market by 2010, a figure increasing to almost 50% by 2030
Such reality is causing the global automotive industry to focus on hybrid vehicles with dual powersources as the next generation of automobiles
Developing hybrid vehicles is not an option but a necessity for automobile manufacturers to ensure asustainable future with ever strengthening environmental regulations worldwide

high-1.4 Comparison of Mild Type and Full Type
The differentiating criteria of the mild type and the full type are whether the hybrid vehicle can drive withonly electric motor power and without the need for the engine
In the case of the mild type, which does not support electric drive mode, both the motor and the enginepower are used during startup However the vehicle runs by the engine without motor assist when lessloaded such as coasting driving In cases of acceleration or highly engine loaded such as in uphilldriving, the motor supports the engine power When the vehicles brakes, the generated heat energy istransformed into electricity by the motor and stored in the battery This process is also known asregenerative braking When the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine is also stopped to conserve fuel.This is known as idle stop
In the case of the full type, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motor during startup and low speed

Trang 71.5 Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) System
Hybrid vehicles are more widely used for their environmentally friendliness However, the engine onhybrid vehicles are not being used efficiently and a large amount of electric energy is lost during theconversion and storing process
The PHEV, which many automobile manufacturers are recently turning to, eliminates energy loss duringthe energy conversion process and utilizes existing efficient engines The Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle is ahybrid vehicle with an added electric plug to charge the battery using general household electricity Thisrepresents a midpoint before complete migration to electric vehicles Compared to general hybridvehicles, the Plug-in Hybrid has a longer battery and motor driving distance It is therefore highlyefficient in terms of fuel consumption and emission gas This vehicle can travel approximately 30 miles
on a single charge, and it uses regular diesel or gasoline fuel for farther distances
Many major automobile makers forecast that the global hybrid vehicle market will grow to over 40 millionvehicles annually by 2020, and most believe that the majority of these hybrids will be Plug-in HybridVehicles

Trang 12The Hybrid Starter Generator or HSG assembly allows the Optima Hybrid to switch between ElectricVehicle and Hybrid modes It cranks the engine for starting and can acts as a generator whennecessary if the hybrid battery state of charge is below a specified threshold.
2.5 High Voltage Battery & BMS
The high-voltage battery has four major components contained in the assembly
The 270 volt battery assembly is developed using the lithium-ion polymer battery technology Toenhance safety, the assembly uses a battery current check circuit which shuts off electric current incase of over-charge
A 12 volt blower air cooling system is used to maintain optimal battery temperature by passing cool airthrough the battery case
The Battery Management System module is contained inside the battery case and maintains the optimalperformance of the high voltage battery The BMS measures the current, voltage and temperature of thebattery and estimates the high voltage battery stage of charge It controls the battery cooling fan tomaintain optimal battery operation temperature and performs the cell balancing control which minimizesvoltage deviation of each cell during battery charging and discharging In addition, if a system faultoccurs, the BMS turns off the high-voltage relay to protect hybrid system from the high voltage
In addition, active protection devices such as the power relay assembly and fuse are used to improve

Trang 132.6 Motor Control Unit (MCU) or Inverter
The MCU has an inverter feature that transforms direct current to alternating current, and at the sametime a converter feature that does the reverse
The MCU’s inverter circuits generates alternating current to operate the electric motor from the directcurrent of the high voltage battery The MCU’s converter circuits transforms the alternating current ofthe motor to Direct current to charge the high voltage battery
- Inverter: Transforming the DC of High Voltage Battery to AC for Motor operation
- Converter: Converting the generated AC to DC for High Voltage Battery Charging
MCU = Inverter + Converter

Trang 19The main goal of developing the hybrid vehicle is to reduce emission gas and increase fuel efficiency Inparticular, technology that recycles or reduces energy loss during combustion is utilized to improve fuelefficiency
Approximately 80% of energy is known to be lost in a gasoline engine Even when assuming completecombustion, most of the energy generated from the fuel in the combustion chamber undergoesnumerous loss-incurring processes, and only a portion of the energy is used to drive the vehicle Thereare various types of energy loss Some of the major areas of loss include exhaust, cooling, enginepumping, operation of various engine support components, drive resistance, and brake loss
In the case of hybrid vehicles, various technologies that either reduce or recycle such energy losses andtheir applications are listed as follows:
- Engine torque and RPM control activate the engine in fuel-efficient conditions
- Engine turn off when the vehicle comes to a stop (idle stop) to improve fuel efficiency
- Power loss reduction caused by removing the generator due to the LDC
- Atkinson Cycle application to reduce engine pumping loss
- Brake loss conversion to electric energy to charge the high voltage battery
- Torque converter elimination in automatic transmission to reduce power loss
- Vehicle’s air resistance reduction to improve fuel efficiency
