Abstract: Conversion of the conventional vehicle (CV) into the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is one of the promising solutions to improve transport sustainability and reduce outdoor air pollution. Energy management is crucial for the performance of PHEV. The paper presents combine rule based-artificial bee colony optimization algorithm for energy management of converted plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (CPHEV). The diesel operated parallel hybrid topology is considered for study with the designed electric powertrain. NOx and PM are considered as optimization parameters along with specific fuel consumption. The performance based on fuel consumption and emissions (NOx and PM) is analyzed by considering sample Indian urban and highway driving cycle. The complete vehicle is simulated using MATLAB Simulink linked with coding. The results of converted PHEV obtained is compared with conventional one for both driving cycles for analysis of the fuel consumption and emissions considering real-time benchmarking norms. The results indicate that the combine rule based-artificial bee colony strategy keeps pollution under control required as per BSIII norms.
