Abstract :
This paper presents a method for designing battery capacity and output power for series plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The simulation is based on the model of the dynamic equation of vehicle motion along the longitudinal direction. Besides the rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag and vehicle acceleration, the choice of chemical battery and the potential energy change with altitude, are also important factors for the simulation results.
