Power Management for Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles
Keywords:
portuguêsAbstract
Transportation systems are changing. Conventional vehicles, propelled by internal combustion engines are losing space to vehicles propelled by alternative energy sources due to environmental and political factors worldwide. Fuel cell vehicles figure as one of the main options to conventional vehicles, as new technologies have been making them more commercially viable. In such context, this work presents a few power management strategies applicable to fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles based on a dynamical model, which allows performance evaluation and comparison to vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines. The model comprises a fuel cell stack, batteries, an induction motor and the vehicle's dynamics. The driver's reactions are emulated through a PI controller, the electric motor is controlled by a sliding mode algorithm and the power management is performed subject to restrictions such as fuel cell efficiency and batteries state of charge. Energy consumption is compared with internal combustion engine lightweight vehicles. The results show lower fuel consumption of the fuel cell vehicle configuration when compared to conventional vehicles and proves the better performance of the hybrid vehicle. In addition, they validate the model's usefulness to simulate hybrid electric vehicles and investigate different control strategies for better performance.
