PhD thesis at Technological University / Department of Electrical Engineering discussing (Designing Optimized Intelligent Controllers for Electric Vehicle)

The Department of Electrical Engineering awarded a PhD degree to (Arkan Ali Jassim Mohammed) for his thesis titled.

(Design of Optimized Intelligent Controllers for Electric Vehicle)

This study presents a multi-converter/multi-machine system for an electric vehicle that uses two induction motors to drive the rear wheels. The system includes two two-stage controllers for field-oriented control (FOC) regulation using a hybrid Proportional-Integral (PI) and Robust Integral Sign of Error (RISE) controller, as well as a PI controller with a saturation function. Performance is optimized by a simple neural controller (Adaline NN). An Energy Management Simulation System (EMS) is also designed to manage the vehicle’s battery through an intelligent control system based on an artificial neural network (ANN). The system combines a supercapacitor and a source battery, both of which are connected to a buck/boost converter with a speed limiter determining the power limits.
