INVESTIGATION OF RULE-BASED CONTROL STRATEGY IN A SERIES-PARALLEL HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Advance in technology has lead many bad effects especially to our nature. In automotive industry, vehicle that use internal combustion engine has being a major need to the people. Internal Combustion Engine has cause major air pollution because of dangerous gaseous such as carbon dioxide, sulphur monoxide, and sulphur dioxide that can cause a lot of disease. Hybrid technology has come as a solution to reduce the emission of this dangerous gas by reducing the usage of internal combustion engine. The idea of hybrid technology is combining the internal combustion engine with electric motor in order to achieve this target. The purpose of this project is to develop the best control strategy to minimize the usage of energy called energy management. Many method will be test to discover the best strategy to minimize the energy usage in hybrid electric vehicle. All type of control strategy will be demonstrated in the Simulink Matlab software. The types of electric motor use are permanent magnet synchronous motor.
