Modeling and analysis of hybrid controller by combining MFB with FLC implemented to ultracapacitor-based electric vehicle
Authors: ,
Abstract: An optimized energy management strategy is designed for a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) to drive the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) / electric vehicle (EV). Combination of battery and Ultra-Capacitor (UC) forms the HESS for an HEV / EV which will enhance the acceleration performance of the electric motor, reduced battery charge-discharge cycle and improves the driving range. The main aim of the proposed method is to design a control approach for automatic smooth switching between sources of HESS corresponding to the speed of the motor. To achieve the main objective, a new controller is designed with four math functions and programmed separately corresponding to the speed of the motor termed as MFB controller. The fuzzy logic controller is used to obtain the controlled gate pulses for Uni-directional (UDC) and Bi-directional (BDC) converters, those are placed at the battery and UC end. The MFB and Fuzzy logic controllers work together to attain a smooth transition between the battery and UC related to the speed of the electric motor. Finally, the effectiveness of the control strategy is validated with four modes of operation in MATLAB/Simulink.
