Energy Optimality in Electric Vehicles Along Uphill-Downhill Roads

2021-09-01
In this paper, an energy optimal controller is designed with torque, speed and battery constraints, and detailed sensitivity analyses are performed. The design is tested on the gross motion mathematical model of the vehicle moving on a variable-slope road in scenarios including uphill and downhill road sections of various slopes and lengths. The tests are repeated along roads with icy slopes, and the superiority of the energy optimal controller is verified for roads with low friction coefficients. A skidding compensation logic is proposed, and it is observed that the energy optimal solution is insensitive to such compensation methods. Further sensitivity analyses are performed, and it is shown that as a representative of different passenger seating arrangements, the sensitivity of the energy optimal controller to the changes in mass and its distribution is small in magnitude. The tests with different initial state-of-charge of the battery demonstrate that the superiority of the energy optimal controller becomes significant especially when battery characteristics limit the charging capability during regenerative braking.

In this paper, the hysteresis current controller is modeled with PWM rectifier for stability analysis and design of dc link PI controller. The results of linear model are compared with the detailed simulation results during starting period of the rectifier. The stable operating ranges of system parameters like hysteresis band width, boost inductance, dc link capacitor and sampling frequency are verified by the detailed dedicated simulation program in Matlab/Simulink interlinked to TMS320F2812. The results h...
Equivalent linearization of 2-way fuzzy adaptive system under nonparametric uncertainty and inconsistency
Gurkan, E; Banks, SP; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (2002-09-18)
Our aim in this paper is to design a 2-way fuzzy adaptive controller for a flexible robot arm and to analyze the stability of this controller using describing function technique. The 2-way fuzzy adaptive system is used in order to model the nonparametric uncertainties and inconsistencies present in the nonlinear system. The use of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the 2-way fuzzy adaptive structure makes it possible to model such uncertainties. The proposed architecture is used as a controller for a flexible-joi...
Adaptive Nonlinear Control Combined With Unscented Kalman Filter for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Fed by AC/DC/AC Converter
Titaouine, A.; Taibi, D.; Bennis, O.; Benchabane, F.; Boumaraf, R.; Yahia, K. (2011-09-10)
In this paper, a adaptive non-linear controller is presented for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) sensorless drives. The adaptive non-linear controller is designed based on an input-output feedback linearization control technique. The unscented Kalman filter is used to estimate the speed, position and load torque. The PMSM is fed by an indirect power electronics converter. This indirect converter is controlled by a sliding mode technique that enables minimization of harmonics introduced by the line...
Experimental evaluation of cable drum systems as linear motion sensors
KILIÇ, ERGİN; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2011-04-15)
This study evaluates cable-drum mechanisms as linear motion sensors for certain CNC applications. In this work, the dynamical attributes of a generic device are studied experimentally. The conducted research indicates that despite the significant traction force induced between the cable and its drum, small fluctuations in mechanism's speed yields a considerable (micro) slip at the interface.
