Real-Time Control Strategy of Fuel Cell and Battery System for Electric Hybrid Boat Application

In this paper, an effective control strategy is proposed to manage energy distribution from fuel cells and batteries for hybrid electric boat applications. The main objectives of real-time are obtain fast current tracking the batteries’ system, DC bus voltage stability by using a cell, load under varying demand conditions. based on combination frequency approach current/voltage interleaved boost converters reduce hydrogen consumption cell improve quality transfer. was dedicated managing power-sharing between load, storage system extracting power references. closed loop utilized DC/DC converters. performance evaluation has been tested through experimental test bench dSPACE board (DS1104).
