Review on optimization algorithms for plug in hybrid electric vehicle

In this study, Vehicle to grid (V2G) application is considered as an important solution to minimize the CO2 emission, as well as its ability to involve the utilization of renewable energy and recovers the limitation of fossil energy. In this context, the plug in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) have attracted the attention of researchers and industries due to its various advantages especially it's utilization as a good interface on the V2G application all over the world. This paper includes an introduction of various vehicle architecture and the formulation of total cost of ownership (TCO) presented during the owning period of the vehicle. We are also interested on the different approaches and algorithms used for optimal design of PHEV in literature to optimize the TCO.
