NOVEL CONTROL STRATEGY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Energy Management System with effective control strategies is the main requirement for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). These vehicles have a great potential for emission reduction and fuel consumption improvement. HEVs have more advantageous than conventional vehicles and pure Electric Vehicles (EV) in appropriate cases where respective energy resources utilized. That is, HEVs come into vogue due to the limitations of the total IC engine vehicles and electric vehicles. In such vehicles, energy utilization should be achieved in the proper way by adapting the suitable energy management system in order to save the battery power, control the motor temperature, control the fuel emission and also drive the vehicle at the optimum power level. In this paper, a novel energy efficient motor drive is accomplished by introducing an adaptive control strategy in the proposed hybrid electric vehicle and the modeling and simulation of the proposed architecture have been implemented using Matlab/Simulink. Results have been captured for various parameters of HEVs and the detailed analysis has also been discussed in this paper
