UCR team’s new evolutionary-algorithm-based EMS for PHEVs can deliver >30% fuel savings than conventional controls

Green Car Congress

Engineers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a new online energy management system (EMS) based on an evolutionary algorithm for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that they say can improve PHEV fuel efficiency by more than 30%. Meanwhile, two types of state-of-charge (SOC) control strategies (i.e.,

Structured VLSI design, now taught in more than 100 universities. And unlike university research laboratories, PARC had one unifying vision: it would develop “the architecture of information.” Pake was executive vice chancellor, provost, and professor of physics at Washington University in St. Laser printers.

For example, fuel economy statistics and a graphic display of the electric range is shown on the navigation map. Even then, these batteries still possess a large portion of their nominal capacity—too high for them to be recycled. A first test setup located near Ingolstadt recently started supplying the grid.
