Modeling, Simulation and Control Strategy Optimization of Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle

This work represents the development of a Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FCHEV) model, its validation, and comparison different control strategies based on Toyota Mirai (1st generation) vehicle subsystems. The main investigated parameters are hydrogen consumption, variation state charge, current, voltage battery. FCHEV which is made up multiple subsystems, developed simulated in MATLAB® Simulink environment using rule-based strategy derived from real system. results model were validated experimental data obtained open-source Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) database. In second part, equivalent consumption minimization implemented into controller logic to optimize existing investigate difference consumption. It was found that ECMS outperforms one all drive cycles by 0.4–15.6%. On other hand, when compared controller, performs worse for certain considered driving others.
