Robust Indirect Vector Control of Induction Motor Fed by Voltage Source Inverter for Multi-Source Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicles are gaining popularity due to exponential decrease in oil and natural gas resources. In order to prevent the terrible consequences of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, it is crucial to utilize renewable energy sources.The field of clean energy generation and efficient utilization is experiencing significant growth in research. The hybrid energy storage system (HESS) of the proposed hybrid electric vehicle consists of fuel cell (FC), battery, supercapacitor (SC)and a photovoltaic(PV), which are connected to the DC bus through the DC-DC power converters. The DC bus is subsequently linked to an inverter,Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique has been used for three phase Voltage Source Inverter to control electric motor of the vehicle. In rough driving circumstances the behaviour of components such as energy sources, induction motors, and power processing blocks significantly deviates from their typical behavior due to non linear nature of vehicle model. Barrier function based adaptive sliding mode controller has been used to ensure the finite- time convergence of the output variable even when the upper bound of the disturbances is unknown. The performance of the proposed barrier function-based adaptive sliding mode controller technique is analyzed via simulations on MATLAB/Simulink,. The proposed strategy has been validated through real time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments using C2000 Delfino Microcontroller F28379D Launchpad.
