Abstract

In this paper Hybrid Electric vehicle (HEV) technology provides an effective solution for achieving higher fuel economy and better performances with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. For Electric vehicle applications, To increase the driving miles of the electric vehicles, a photovoltaic (PV) panel is mounted along with on-board battery bank. A tri-port converter with fuzzy logic controller is proposed in this paper to control the energy flow between the PV panel, battery and SRM drive. Six operational modes are presented, four of which are developed for driving modes and rest two for stand still on-board charging. In driving modes, the Perturb and observe technique is employed in order to receive maximum power from the PV panel. In stand still charging modes, a grid connected charging topology is developed. A multi section charging control strategy is used foe effective utilization of energy in case of battery charging from PV panel directly. The proposed tri-port technology with fuzzy logic controller is developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results are proven to be successful in producing reduced harmonic distortion .
