Battery Supercapacitor Hybrid Vehicle Modelling

Developed a comprehensive simulation model for a Battery-Supercapacitor Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for electric vehicle applications using MATLAB/Simulink, focusing on energy management and power distribution strategies.

Implemented rule-based and fuzzy-logic energy management algorithms to optimally split power demand between the battery and supercapacitor, reducing battery stress, extending cycle life, and improving overall system efficiency during peak power events such as acceleration and regenerative braking.

Validated the model under standard drive cycles (UDDS, HWFET), demonstrating measurable improvements in energy efficiency and battery degradation rate compared to battery-only configurations.
