An efficient design of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle with Ultra-Battery separated by an energy management system

The design of the power source in the Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FCHEV) is an attractive area in transport applications. The FCHEV combines a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and an Ultra-Battery (UB). A suitable UB is deployed, in FCHEV, for a backup system using efficient energy management. The UB aims to guarantee a rapid transfer of power during transient responses and a permanent power during the absence of hydrogen. To ensure the required power, EMSs have been proposed. An efficiency band UB Partial Load State (PSoCUB) is used to evaluate the proposed design. Therefore, the reliability of our model is tested and evaluated through different results using Matlab / Simulink environment.
