Electric Vehicle Powertrain Control with Fuzzy Indirect Vector Control

The control of the power flow in a vehicle is a preponderant task for the correct vehicle performance. Therefore in this paper is developed the implementation of a fuzzy indirect vector control for the energy management of an EV powertrain. The main energy propulsion unit is a squirrel cage induction motor and the powertrain is simulated as the connections among motor, gear box, energy storage unit and wheels. Add to this it is taking into account for the simulation all the forces involved in the vehicle movement. Finally, simulations for a standard driving cycle.
