Fuzzy logic-based energy management strategy for a novel mechatronics-electro-hydraulic power coupling electric vehicle

Abstract

In order to solve the troubles of electric peak torque and enhance the energy efficiency of electric vehicles, a novel mechatronics-electro-hydraulic power coupling electric vehicle (MEH-PCEV) with low energy consumption is proposed. The hydraulic system and the motor are integrated into a device to simplify the structure, taking the pure electric vehicle as a reference. Simultaneously, a fuzzy logic-based optimization method is proposed for real-time adjustment of the electric torque based on the original rule control strategy. Compared with the pure electric vehicle, the proposed methods can substantially enhance energy utilization and the recovery efficiency of electric energy. Ultimately, the actual driving cycle is analyzed using data acquisition capacity, with the authentic speed as the input signal. The verification results on real-world vehicles demonstrate the consumption rate of the battery state of charge and the electric torque are improved by 7.32% and reduced by 22.24%, respectively. Moreover, this research is expected to provide a reference for the development and engineering applications of the mechatronics-electro-hydraulic coupling systems.
