power demand that the machine used within this paper could also in
case of maximal scaling satisfy the power demand of the driving
cycle. Therefore both the electrical machine and the electrical energy
storage are scaled down during the optimization process.
CONCLUSION
Within this paper it was shown how important multi-
objective optimization of hybrid electric vehicles is. The
multi-objective optimization was drawn out on the model of a
parallel HEV looking at the minimal copper needed, lithium
usage and fuel consumption while simulating the NEDC,
FTP-75 and the ARTEMIS driving cycle.
