Fuzzy logic control for parallel hybrid vehicles

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller is developed for hybrid vehicles with parallel configuration. Using the driver command, the state of charge of the energy storage, and the motor/generator speed, a set of rules have been developed, in a fuzzy controller, to effectively determine the split between the two powerplants: electric motor and internal combustion engine. The underlying theme of the fuzzy rules is to optimize the operational efficiency of all components, considered as one system. Simulation results were used to assess the performance of the controller. A forward-looking hybrid vehicle model was used for implementation and simulation of the controller. Potential fuel economy improvement is shown by using fuzzy logic, relative to other controllers, which maximize only the efficiency of the engine.
