This research discusses the solar and wind sourcesintegration in aremote location using hybrid power optimization approaches and a multi energy storage system with batteries and supercapacitors. The controllers in PV and wind turbine systems are used to efficiently operate maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, optimizing the overall system performance while minimizing stress on energy storage components. More specifically, on PV generator, the provided method integrating the Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) methods.

High performance and comfort are key features recommended in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) design. In this paper, a new coordination strategy is proposed to solve the issue of undesired torque jerks and large power ripples noticed respectively during drive mode commutations and power sources switching. The proposed coordinated switching strategy uses stair-based transition function to perform drive mode commutations and power source switching's within defined transition periods fitting the transient dynamics of power sources and traction machines.

This paper proposes a novel Fuzzy-MPDTC control applied to a fuel cell battery electric vehicle whose traction is ensured using a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). On the traction side, model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC) is used to control PMSM torque, and guarantee minimum torque and current ripples while ensuring satisfactory speed tracking. On the sources side, an energy management strategy (EMS) based on fuzzy logic is proposed, it aims to distribute power over energy sources rationally and satisfy the load power demand.
