Many efforts have been developed for researching and discussing different aspects of this series/parallel HEV [12]-[18]. Induction Machines-EVT has been researched for many years as the drive train concept of HEV [16]-[18]. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) has been research as the strongest candidate as an EVT power train for the HEV [12]-[15], [19]. In this paper, by adopting the decision-making property of the fuzzy logic and at the deceleration time, a regenerative braking controller has been developed. By this fuzzy logic controller, the total torque command for the EVT machines is generated from the vehicle velocity, battery state of charge, and vehicle’s delivered power. The paper is organized as follows: Section II presents the description of the studied HEV with the typical data of the Toyota prius HEV powered by PMSM-EVT instead of the THS transmission. Under the supervision of the rule-based strategy [17], [18], the EMR dynamic model, control and integration of the subsystems are described in section III. Then, section IV describes the implementation process of the proposed regenerative braking control strategy based on fuzzy logic. The vehicle performance and the power flow through the ICE, PMSM-EVT machines, and the battery are analyzed and discussed at different driving cycles in Section VI. Abstract — In this paper, an intelligent regenerative power management controller based on fuzzy logic has been presented to strategize the regenerative process on HEV trained by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines-Electrical Variable Transmission (PMSM-EVT). Then, the power flow through EVT-machines as motors and generators during the driving cycle has been analyzed. This fuzzy logic-based control strategy is designed based on the most effective variables on the system, the state of charge of the battery, the power requested at the wheels and the vehicle velocity. The proposed strategy and the system performance are validated and tested through the simulation results with different driving cycles. The proposed strategy optimizes the distribution of the braking power between the regenerative and the hydraulic parts. This helps to save the ratings of the power units of HEV system (engine, battery, and PMSM-EVT machines), and exploits the EVT machines as motors and generators on driving the vehicle and charging the battery, respectively. I. INTRODUCTION A regenerative brake is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into another form, which can be either used immediately or stored until needed. This contrasts with conventional braking systems, where the excess kinetic energy is converted to heat by friction in the brake linings and therefore wasted. In order to provide the appropriate regenerative braking for the given driving conditions, a control algorithm is required to organize the distribution process for the braking energy between the regenerative and the friction. Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) is a somewhat intelligent, cost-effective nonlinear control. It has been successfully applied in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) areas of energy management strategy [1]-[5]. Also, FLC was applied in regenerative braking distribution in different types of HEVs [6]-[8]. The HEV as a complex system needs robust tool to model and control its subsystems. Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) is an interesting tool, allowing a global overview of the system while taking into account the main physical properties. Also, it is a graphical description to organize model and energy management of complex systems. EMR has successfully been used to model and control HEVs [9]-[15]. Electrical Variable Transmission (EVT) is the powertrain II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PMSM-EVT-HEV PMSM-EVT, Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), battery, and final gear are the main components of the studied HEV as shown in Fig.1. Fig. 1 Hybrid electric vehicle system driven with PMSM-EVT 1 Double rotor PMSM (EM1), normal PMSM (EM2) and two power converters are the components of the split PMSMEVT unit. The inner rotor of EM1 is connected mechanically to ICE and has distributed windings (stator1) that are connected to inverter 1 across the brushes and slip-rings. The rotor of EM2 is connected to the final gear of the vehicle and the outer rotor of EM1, and the stator windings are connected to inverter2. Vector control with field weakening strategy is used to drive the PMSM-EVT machines. So, the PMSMs have been exploited to optimize the ICE operation via covering the speed and torque differences between the vehicle requirements and the optimized output of the engine. In this paper, the typical ICE torque-speed profile, capacity of battery pack and other control parameters are known for the Toyota prius HEV, and are listed in Table 1 [20]. Whereas, the power parameters of the EM1 and EM2 are designed by the author [21].

The details of the model of these plants could be found in [9], [10] and [17] [18]. In this paper, the model of the PMSM-EVT machines and braking distribution system and their control are presented for highlighting the operation process of the proposed controller.

The HEV velocity is the state variable of this accumulation element, and the resistant derived from the total traction force . force (2) B.

EMR Model of the PMSM The EMR model of the PMSM machine has been depicted in three stages. 1) Park Transformation : voltages and stator currents reference frame. that expresses stator in the (d, q) rotating ΔΩ as state . _ IV. The kinetic stored energy on the running vehicle could be converted into two parts, the regenerated part and the friction losses part. Using a fixed regenerative factor is not suitable has to be for the whole driving. At low vehicle speeds, increased to charge the battery more. But, at high speeds, increasing this factor will increase the regenerated power from EM2 and may exceed its limits. So, a regenerative strategy has been developed intelligently via FLC which designed carefully to control adaptively the regenerative factor according to all effective variables. SOC, power stored on the vehicle, and the vehicle velocity are the most effective variables used for determining the recovered power from the vehicle. (8) (9) where, , , and the flux linkage and current components in d-q directions, ω and ω denote the electrical angular speeds for rotor and stator, respectively, number of pole pairs, and flux linkage of the permanent magnet. D. Maximum Control Structure Vector Control of PMSM B. Description of the Designed FLC Due to the big necessary of extending the speed rage, field oriented control with the possibility of field weakening has been used for both EM1 and EM2. This procedure basically deals with the magnetic and torque component current. The FLC system comprises basically from three main subsystems, FLC input variables, the membership functions of input and output fuzzy variables, and the fuzzy logic rules. 1) Input/output Membership Functions for Fuzzy Logic 1) The Reference Current _ : the inversion of torque equation, (7) leads to the reference current from the _ torque reference . _ The proposed membership functions are developed based on the pre-calculated limits of vehicle performance, PMSMEVT machines and battery’s SOC. Figure 3 shows the input and output variables describing their boundaries, and depicts the shape and ranges of Membership Functions (MFs). For all input/output variables, the concourses are set as VH, H, M, L, and VL. The first input, the vehicle stored power, is ranged from zero at stopping to maximum value at maximum deceleration rate, which represents worst case of brake. Also, the range of MFs of the vehicle velocity has been divided according to the effect of each speed range. Whereas, the SOC of the battery is organized according to its lowest, highest, and target values listed in Table 1. Finally, the (10) 2) The Reference Current _ : Also, the reference current _ is forced to zero under the base speed and then forced to negative value related to the speed as soon as the speed exceeds the base speed [22]. 0 ω ω ω IMPLEMENTATION OF FUZZY LOGIC A.

For , the concourse VL means no regeneraative power 0, while VH means all kinetic power on thhe vehicle 1 will be recovered to battery via EVT machinnes. The proposed fuzzy rule base was develloped from three inputs: the vehicle speed, the driver demandeed power, and the battery state of charge (SOC). These inputs are fuzzified and mal rule base was then fed into the fuzzy controller. The optim found from experimentation with the system. The is the output vaariable of the regenerative factor defuzzification process. In turns, this factorr determines the magnitude of the regenerative torque for the E EVT machines as illustrated in down part of Fig. 2. (a) 2) Fuzzy Logic Rules with 125 Rules The performance of the FLC depends heaavily on its fuzzy rules. The rule base for the 125 rules is built tto relate the three inputs with the output factor. Each of the innputs and output has 5 linguistic variables. The relation betweeen the input and the output variables can be clearly seen in the surface plot which is shown in Fig. 4 (a, b). These rules ffor managing the regenerative process are explained below: , the eengine is turned • If SOC is VH, i.e. OFF and is VL i.e. 0 (no regenerating power required from the EVT machines) whatever the velocity and stored braking power are. • If SOC is VL, i.e. SOC SOC , the engiine is turned ON and K is VH i.e. K max (maximum poower is recovered from the braking power via the EM2 machinne and no friction braking), this for all velocities and for storeed braking power except two cases. The first exception is whenn the vehicle runs at very low velocity, K has to be decreased because it is not preferable to operate the EVT machines as ggenerators at very low speeds. The second exception is when thhe vehicle runs at very high speed, K has to be changed from H to VL gradually according to the SOC and the brakinng power. 0.4 Regenerative factor 0.35 Deg.

Power Flow Analysis of PMSM-EVT Machines Referring to Fig. 8, showing the power of ICE, EM1 and EM2 at different driving cycles, the power flow is analyzed below. ICE delivers power all time with the lowest limit equal to the minimum optimal power, and with the increase of the requested power at the wheels, the ICE delivers more power within its optimum boundaries. For EM1, it operates as a generator when the speed of engine is greater the speed of vehicle (NEM1>NEM2), while operates as motor when the speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed of the engine (NEM2>NEM1). For EM2, it operates as a generator when the torque of engine is greater the torque of vehicle (TEM1>TEM2), while operates as a motor when the torque of the vehicle is greater than the speed of the engine (TEM2>TEM1). The power flows through the ICE, EM1, EM2 and battery reaching to the wheels of the vehicle have been studied via three different driving cycles. With the proposed FL regenerative strategy and field weakening vector control of the PMSM-EVT machines, the simulation results show that the power of plants into their predetermined boundaries.

An intelligent regenerative controller has been designed using Mamdani-type of a fuzzy logic to strategize the amount of regenerative power. The controller receives the battery SOC, vehicle velocity and the power that is requested at the wheels and determines the value of regenerative factor and then the value of the reference torque applied to the PMSMEVT machines. The effectiveness of the proposed FL controller has been demonstrated via the global modeling integrating of the subsystems of HEV using an efficient modeling tool, EMR. Also, FOC of EM1 and EM2 has been developed with field weakening method to extend the constant power operation and to save the power boundaries of the machines. The simulation results at different circumstances demonstrate that the proposed strategy is able to recover power according to nature of the driving cycles and power limits of PMSM-EVT machines, and also the required power from the driver has been satisfied with the complete HEV system.
