Abstract

The article considers fuel cell electric vehicle energy efficiency improvement by means of traction battery remanent state of charge modern control algorithms application which based on fuzzy logic. Fuel cell vehicle traction system used as experimental setup for the study includes brushless dc motor, lithium-ion batteries pack and electronic differential approach implementation. The results of simulation modelling in MATLAB-Simulink software comparing conventional PID-controller based and fuzzy logic based controller for vehicle speed control systems are presented. Fuzzy logic controller provides an electric vehicle dynamic behavior tuning for different driving modes automatically transferring the control system to economy mode when it possible. However, the control system is able to provide fast dynamic behavior when it is required. The proposed control algorithm is tested by means of developed experimental setup. Experimental results validate conducted simulation modelling results and the proposed control algorithm. Application of the proposed fuzzy logic control algorithm to control the electric vehicle dynamic behavior allows energy efficiency improvement and driving range increase.
