Abstract
In this paper, the development and optimization of Power Distribution Control Strategy (PDCS) have been
performed for a Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) of a Series Hybrid Electric Bus (SHEB). A
common PDCS is based on the use of Ultra-Capacitor (UC) pack. A new simple PDCS is developed as a
battery based one. For the battery based PDCS, four parameters are introduced for tuning the PDCS
performance. The Design of Experiment (DoE) method is utilized to optimize the parameters of the battery
based PDCS for the driving cycles and the vehicle controllers. The results show the optimized battery based
PDCS performance for some cases are better than the UC based PDCS performance. Vice versa, for some
cases the performance of the UC based PDCS is better than the battery based PDCS. Finally, the costs
rising from the HESS (about 66%) is reasonable when considering the over double increase in the battery
life-time when using an appropriate PDCS.

Abstract
In the present paper, the idea of braking energy regeneration and reusing that energy during acceleration for a refuse truck is comprehended. According to their driving cycle, the refuse trucks have a good potential for braking energy regeneration. On the other hand, hydraulic hybrid is a powertrain with high power density which is appropriate for energy regeneration. In the primary stage of this issue, the hydraulic hybrid propulsion system is designed with intention of regenerating the maximum possible kinetic energy during the refuse truck braking mode. At this stage, a non-fuzzy rule-based control strategy is applied to manage the energy flow in the hybrid powertrain. After that, the powertrain of the Axor 1828 truck and the elements of the hydraulic powertrain are modeled in MATLAB/Simulink. The modeling is performed considering the efficiencies of the powertrain elements. In the last part of the paper, a fuzzy control strategy is designed and modeled to improve the fuel consumption of the truck with hybrid powertrain. In order to see the usefulness of the designed hybrid powertrain, several simulations are organized on the vehicle model in Simulink. The driving cycle for refuse truck in Tehran is used for performing the simulations. The results state indicated that using the hydraulic hybrid powertrain decreased the fuel consumption of the refuse truck by 7 percent. In addition, this amount of reduction was improved by implementing the fuzzy control strategy. The decrease in fuel consumption was due to the regenerating of the braking energy up to 50 percent.

Abstract
In this paper an idea for hybridization of conventional vehicles has proposed. The case study performed on one of the common vehicles on country roads i.e. Samand. This vehicle has high production volume but low fuel performance therefore hybridization of it could be attractive for its manufacture. This paper aims that the hybridization idea and its structure to need minimum mechanical modifications. In consequence attractiveness of this idea for industry could be high. A cost optimization has been performed for sizing of additional components such as electric motors and battery modules and the simulation results has been adopted to verify the proposed idea for case study with hybrid simulation of GT-Suit and MATLAB softwares.
