Fuzzy based controller for a hybrid electric vehicle with MMC and SRM drive

Abstract

In this article a novel fuzzy control based Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) with Modular Multi Converter (MMC) fed Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is investigated. In this proposed approach MMC fed to the SRM motor with integration of Full Bridge (FB) converter. FB switching pattern operates with intelligent fuzzy control algorithm. The MMC inverter fed SRM drive HEV has been successfully simulated with MATLAB software package. The simulation results are proven that the harmonics are mitigated by employing proposed method. Performance characteristics of SRM motor such as, phase voltage, line voltage, speed, torque, rotor current, load torque is obtained, and these are compared with conventional methods i.e. current converter operated HEVs and solar (PV) integrated HEVs. It can be observed from the reported results that the proposed method is providing satisfactory output results.
