Abstract

In this paper, a design scheme of a cruise control system for an electric vehicle using piece-wised PD control is proposed. Cruise control of electric vehicles is one of the major performance elements. Drive motors having linear characteristics ideally is required in order to achieve the cruise driving. But practical motors have nonlinear characteristics and the performance of the motors can be improved by the closed-loop control to compensate it. In this paper, we improved the performance of by applying piece-wised PD control because the driving motors having nonlinear characteristics are difficult to obtain adequate performance only using closed-loop control. In order to test the proposed method, the experiments were carried out by applying the proposed method after setting up an electric vehicle equiped with a driving motors having large nonlinear characteristics. The experiment results of the proposed piece-wised PD control shows better performance than that of closed-loop control.

본 논문에서는 전기 자동차의 정속 주행을 위하여 구간제어기법을 이용한 속도제어기의 설계방안을 제안한다. 전기자동차의 정속주행은 주요한 성능요소중의 하나이다. 정속주행을 위해서는 이상적으로 선형적 특성을 가진 구동 모터가 필요하다. 하지만 실용화된 모터는 비선형적인 구간이 존재하며 이를 보상하기 위해 폐루프 제어를 통해 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비선형적인 특성이 매우 큰 구동모터는 폐루프 제어만으로 적합한 성능을 얻기 어렵기 때문에 구간제어기법을 적용하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 제안한 방법을 실험하기 위하여 비선형 특성이 큰 구동모터를 장착한 전기자동차를 구성하고 제안한 방법을 적용하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 폐루프 제어보다 제안한 구간제어기법이 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.
