Conventional power generation devices are unable to meet the unique demands of these load profiles and so must be bolstered with energy storage devices to alleviate transient loading. Active hybrid energy storage modules offer both high-energy and high-power density when compared to traditional energy storage devices. Fuzzy logic control offers a method of controlling such a system to meet MIL-STD-1399 requirements on a shipboard system while requiring little knowledge of the system components. This paper evaluates a fuzzy logic controller’s ability to maintain an energy storage module voltage while accommodating a bi-directional transient load that is representative of one that could be seen aboard a naval vessel. }, url = {http://library.imarest.org/record/7602}, }
