Fuzzy Logic Based Power Management Strategy for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles with Parallel Configuration

Abstract

In this paper, a new power management strategy for parallel plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is introduced. Using the proposed strategy the fuel consumption of the vehicle would be reduced. The proposed power management strategy is simple, and the required computational burden is not heavy. Hence, it can be used in real time applications. Estimating, the trip distance using GPS technology, the controller can manage the battery state of charge. The affectivity of the introduced approach is investigated through conducted simulations in ADVISOR environment. The obtained results are validated using a simple rule base power management strategy.
