The energy regeneration of electromagnetic active suspension in full vehicle with neurofuzzy controller

To improve the vehicle performance such as ride comfort and road handling, the active suspension system should be used. However, the current active suspension system has a high energy consumption therefore reducing the fuel economy. In this paper the vibration excited by road unevenness is treated as a source of mechanical energy. It is being converted into electrical energy to compensate for the energy consumption by the active suspension. To achieve this task, an electromagnetic active suspension system has been introduced. The power generated from this device has been used as input power of the pump of the hydraulic actuators. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy controllers have been designed to generate a signal to control the valves of the hydraulic actuators.
