Claim One:
1. A method for controlling the components of a hybrid vehicle including a motor, an engine, a generator, and a clutch between a motor and engine by creating simulated equivalent fuel consumption multidimensional data, which comprises the following steps: (1) inputting the minimum and maximum physically allowed values for the system control parameters, system state parameters, and system negative load parameters, and then performing a discretization process on these parameters within the scope of their allowed values; (2) entering the system parameters derived from the discretization process into the following defined equivalent fuel consumption formulas for creating the simulated equivalent fuel consumption multidimensional data; (3) controlling at least one of said components of said hybrid electric vehicle based on the simulated equivalent fuel consumption formulas; and (4) the equivalent fuel consumption formula being: 
 {dot over (m)} EF ={dot over (m)} e −PF ISG ×{dot over (m)} ISG +PF m ×{dot over (m)} m 
 {dot over (m)} e =BSFC e ( T e ,N e )×( T e ×N e ) 
 {dot over (m)} m =mBSFC m ×( T m ×N m ) 
 {dot over (m)} ISG =mBSFC ISG ×( T ISG ×N e ) wherein, {dot over (m)} EF is the system simulated equivalent fuel consumption required by the system for providing the system negative load torque, {dot over (m)} e is the engine fuel consumption required by the engine for providing the engine output torque, {dot over (m)} m is the motor simulated equivalent fuel consumption required by the motor for providing the motor output torque, {dot over (m)} ISG is the generator simulated equivalent fuel consumption required for inputting torque to the generator, T e is the engine output torque, N e is the engine output rotation speed, BSFC e (T e ,N e ) is the engine fuel consumption efficiency determined by the engine output torque and rotation speed, T m is the motor output torque, N m is the motor output rotation speed, mBSFC m is the equivalent fuel consumption efficiency of the motor, T ISG is the generator input toque, N ISG is the generator input rotation speed, mBSFC ISG is the equivalent fuel consumption efficiency of the generator, PF ISG is the penalty factor for the generator to battery charge; and PF m is the penalty factor for the battery consumption on the motor.
