Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining increasing attention due to their environmental friendliness. However, EVs still suffer from issues such as short driving range. Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) have emerged as an intermediate step in the transition from fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles, utilizing both gasoline and batteries. The proper allocation of these two energy sources has become a key issue for PHEVs. This paper mainly summarizes and analyzes rule-based energy management strategies through literature analysis, case analysis, and review methods. By contrasting with the energy management based on optimization algorithm, the advantages and problems of rule-based energy management strategies are explored. This paper finds that rule-based energy management strategies offer advantages such as robustness, simple algorithms, and strong real-time performance, but they cannot achieve global optimization, and rule formulation relies heavily on the designer's experience. In addition, rule-based energy management strategies can be combined with multiple algorithms and have high improvement potential.
