APPLICATION OF FUZZY SET-THEORY TO ELECTRIC CAR CONTROL

The aim of this paper is to present a study at the University of Valen ciennes about an electrical prototype car based on a serial vehicle. T he drive system is a natural one with lead batteries and a separately excited direct-current motor; the electronics has been realized with i nsulated gate bipolar transistors. The current loops, helpful for the electrical engine command, are analogic and are regulated by a fuzzy c ontroller. The goal of the control was to minimize energy consumption and to optimize performance and comfort.
