Abstract :
This article demonstrates the effectiveness of a fuzzy-logic controller to automatically operate an HEV S/G (hybrid electric vehicle starter/generator) at its maximum efficiency under static conditions and over industry-standard road-profile dynamic loads. The effects of transient behavior and controller bandwidth are investigated. Experimental results also show that reduced heating can be achieved.
