Considering the world's environmental problem, HEVs are projected as one of the solution. The keys of the HEV cruise control are expanding the use of electric motor and operating the internal combustion engine in the efficient region. This paper presents a new structure of SOC sustaining model where state-machine control is used. The proposed model defines battery charging and discharging as states and SOC of the battery as control variables. In this paper, we introduce various methods in deterministic rule-based control for HEV and describe a new SOC sustaining controller used by state-machine.
