  • Energy conversion efficiency and WtW CO2 emissions of a medium duty truck comparison of PHEV and ICEV powertrain topology [Elektronski vir]
    Katrašnik, Tomaž
    Energy flows, energy conversion efficiencies and Well-to-Wheel (WtW) CO2 emissions of different powertrain topologies employed to power a medium duty truck are analyzed in this paper. The analysis ... covers topologies of the parallel and the series plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which are driven according to different strategies of depletion of the electric storage devices (ES). These results are benchmarked against results of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Data on Energy flows, energy conversion efficiencies and WtW CO2 emissions are obtained by a forward facing vehicle simulation model. Well-to-Tank (WtT) analysis covers CO2 intensity of the Diesel fuel and three different realistic CO2 intensities of electric energy production. To ensure comprehensiveness of the study vehicles were also operated according to two drive cycles. This broad portfolio of scenarios reveals insightful trends of energy conversion phenomena in different PHEV topologies, whereas it also provides WtW CO2 emissions guidelines for introducing plug-in hybrid electric trucks to different regions.
