Modeling and Simulation of an Intelligent Hybrid Energy Source based on Solar Energy and Battery

Abstract

Today, the world suffer from air pollution due to the presence of chemicals, particulate matters and biological materials in the air. All these elements have negative impacts on human health, environment and economy. Vehicle emissions are considered a major source of air pollution. Transportation is one of the main sources of air pollution around the world. Vehicle pollution takes two forms, the emission of greenhouse gases (global impact on the environment, global warming) and particulate emissions (local impact, deterioration of air quality). In order to tackle this problem, the solution is to encourage the development of hybrid vehicles.

This paper will shed light on a new hybrid generator topology, equipped with a photovoltaic energy conversion system, a battery with its DC / DC converter is adopted to replace the fuel cells in order to solve the problems which are: high consumption with a high cost in terms of energy. Another contribution of this work consists in the use of fuzzy logic; indeed the use of the fuzzy logic system which is used as an autonomous control device. Fuzzy logic has been used primarily to adapt control parameters in order to improve the overall robustness of the system while maintaining its stability.
