Induction machine (IM) is an appealing solution for many drive systems mainly due to its low cost and maintenance requirements. Since, however, the electromechanical structure of an electric vehicle (EV) is much more complex than a simple IM drive system, the design of an effective control for the entire system is a challenging issue. To this end, in this paper, the control capabilities of such an IM driven EV system are exploited in a twofold mode: On one side, closed-loop feedback controllers are proposed to regulate the internal system operating requirements as these are determined from the desired operation of the storage system and the effective use of the IM. On the other hand, a manual regulation of the vehicle motion is implemented, as it is practically applied by the car driver in accordance to his current decisions and the road circumstances. For the closed-loop scheme, fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are introduced due to the nonlinear and complex nature of the system. Nevertheless, the whole design includes a complete stability analysis of the entire system, thus overcoming an inherent weekness of FLC-based control design. In this manner, it is guaranteed a robust and stable operation of the system, while adverse control impacts are avoided. The simulation results fully confirm the theoretical analysis and verify a good system performance.
