Fuzzy control-based energy management for fuel cell bus

The core of the overall fuel cell vehicle control is energy distribution strategy. This study studies fuel cell buses and aims to extend the fuel cell lifespan to guarantee battery lifespan and to enhance the vehicle's overall performance. We proposed a fuzzy method for energy distribution and state of charge feedback and designed a fuel cell bus energy distribution model based on the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy control. Secondary development based on these results was carried out through the ADVISOR simulation platform. Comparison of simulation results shows that the proposed control strategy not only satisfies the full vehicle dynamic performance requirements, but also enhances the fuel cell lifespan and guarantees the battery lifespan, while remains relatively economically competitive.
