Model Predictive Control for power management in hybrid fuel cell vehicles

Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEV) are being investigated in many research and development programs motivated by the urgent need for more fuel-efficient vehicles that produce fewer harmful emissions. Hybridization can greatly benefit fuel cell technology. There are many potential advantages such as the improvement of transient power demand, the ability of regenerative braking and the opportunities for optimization of the vehicle efficiency. The coordination among the various power sources requires a high level of control in the vehicle.
