Modeling and fuzzy logic control of photovoltaic-fuel cell-battery hybrid vehicle

In this paper, modelling of hybrid photovoltaic fuel cell and battery included vehicle were done apart from designing of fuzzy logic controller for the above system. Here, photovoltaic (PV) generator and proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were connected in parallel that is further connected to the battery (which is used as an energy reservoir). Modelling was done using Simulink® software; and different models of PV, PEMFC and battery had been done using the defining equation available in the literature. A rule-based fuzzy logic controller was modelled in the Simulink® software. Finally, using different parameters; simulation of the complete system had been done and results were analysed.
