A Review on Modeling and Simulation for Energy Management of Hybrid Vehicles

This paper presents a review of the many simulation tools that have been reported for modeling and managing the energy for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).In all one hundred and twenty-five simulation tools have been identified by various researchers and among them few tools have been summarized to facilitate selection of the most appropriate tools for specific tasks. Typical applications of the tools include vehicle system analysis and control, renewable energy. No single tool covers all areas of these applications, however different information is provided to enable researchers to select the proper combination of tools to meet precise research objectives
