RT Journal Article T1 Analyzing the Improvements of Energy Management Systems for Hybrid Electric Vehicles Using a Systematic Literature Review: How Far Are These Controls from Rule-Based Controls Used in Commercial Vehicles? A1 Pérez Torreglosa, Juan A1 García Triviño, Pablo A1 Vera, David A1 López García, Diego Antonio AB The hybridization of vehicles is a viable step toward overcoming the challenge of thereduction of emissions related to road transport all over the world. To take advantage of theemission reduction potential of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), the appropriate design of their energymanagement systems (EMSs) to control the power flow between the engine and the battery is essential.This work presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of the more recent works that developedEMSs for HEVs. The review is carried out subject to the following idea: although the developmentof novel EMSs that seek the optimum performance of HEVs is booming, in the real world, HEVscontinue to rely on well-known rule-based (RB) strategies. The contribution of this work is to presenta quantitative comparison of the works selected. Since several studies do not provide results of theirmodels against commercial RB strategies, it is proposed, as another contribution, to complete theirresults using simulations. From these results, it is concluded that the improvement of the analyzedEMSs ranges roughly between 5% and 10% with regard to commercial RB EMSs; in comparison to theoptimum, the analyzed EMSs are nearer to the optimum than commercial RB EMSs.
