Simulation and Implementation of PID-Based HEV Motor Control Using Arduino and MATLAB/Simulink

The increasing demand for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) necessitates effective motor control strategies that balance performance, efficiency, and real-time adaptability. This study proposes a PID-based control scheme implemented via Arduino and MATLAB/Simulink to manage induction motor speed in an HEV system. A co-simulation framework was developed to ensure seamless integration between the real-time microcontroller and the simulated environment. Results from both simulation and hardware implementation show significant improvements in response time and error minimization under various load conditions. This work contributes a practical solution to HEV control with potential applications in educational and prototyping platforms.
