Smart auto-tuned regulators in electric vehicule PMSM drives

Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is hybridized to share the current in a Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) power demand. The performance of the PEMFC model is analyzed for various loads connected nearer to the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), this latter is used to drive the air-compressor of a 6 kW fuel cell (EC) which will be beneficial for Electric Vehicle (EV) application. In order to obtain an efficient control for PMSM, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to optimise the parameters of the PI controller. The PEMFC model and the proposed algorithm is validated by simulation studies in MATLAB/Simulink environment and results are discussed.
