Fuzzy Logic Control Strategy for an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle

Abstract:

This paper presents a Fuzzy Logic Control Strategy (FLCS) for an Extended-range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) with series structure. The control strategy design objective of the E-REV is fuel economy. Based on the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery and the desired power for driving, the power required by the vehicle is split between the engine/generator set and the battery by the FLCS. The engine can be operated consistently in a very high efficiency area and the SOC of the battery can be maintained at a reasonable level. Some standard driving cycles and two control strategies of Power Follower Control Strategy (PFCS) and FLCS were simulated with AVL-Cruise and Matlab/Simulink to analyze the vehicle performance. Some simulation results are compared and discussed: the FLCS indicates better performance in terms of fuel consumption.
