Torque Split Strategy for Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicles with an Integrated Starter Generator by Zhumu Fu, Aiyun Gao, Xiaohong Wang, Xiaona Song

“…This paper presents a torque split strategy for parallel hybrid electric vehicles with an integrated starter generator (ISG-PHEV) by using fuzzy logic control. By combining the efficiency map and the optimum torque curve of the internal combustion engine (ICE) with the state of charge (SOC) of the batteries, the torque split strategy is designed, which manages the ICE within its peak efficiency region. …”
