This paper proposes a blended rule-based energy management system (EMS) for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The proposed EMS is formulated over driving information and vehicle trip energy and not over vehicle speed profiles, as usually seen. The proposed EMS design structure and strategy is described followed by its evaluation. This is the first time a platform for a rule-based acausal EMS has been designed. Performance metrics such as the fuel economy and the number of engine stop–starts are compared with conventional rule-based EMS over real-world destinations with uncertain trip demand. Its performance metrics compared with a conventional EMS for a full parallel PHEV was found to be superior in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
