Book excerpt: Abstract: Increasingly stringent government regulations and the rising price of oil are causing automotive manufactures to develop vehicles capable of obtaining higher fuel economies and lower emissions. To achieve these goals, automotive manufactures have been developing hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) that use both electricity and petroleum based fuels as their power sources. The additional power the vehicle receives from the high voltage batteries and the electric machines allow automotive manufacturers to downsize the engine inside of the vehicle. Vehicles with smaller engines are able to obtain a higher overall fuel economy because the smaller engine is able to operate at its more efficient high load operating points more frequently.
