Simulation and Optimization of a Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle by Darren Brown Pdf

The goal of this research is to improve the design of a fuel cell battery hybrid vehicle through the use of an advanced vehicle powertrain simulator. The first part of this project involves the development of the simulation package from an existing MATLAB/Simulink based model. This model is modified and improved to more accurately simulate the real-world vehicle and also to allow for various parametric studies to be performed. The resulting simulation package is called Light, Fast, and Modifiable or LFM. Three different parametric studies are performed using the LFM simulation platform. The first involves vehicle design parameters. This experiment studies the effect of various vehicle parameters such as tire rolling resistance, vehicle mass, drag coefficient on vehicle performance. The second study involves hybrid control strategy parameters. The hybrid control strategy controls the flow of power between each of the power sources and is vital to proper vehicle performance. This experiment studies the effect of various scaling factors in the hybrid control strategy. The third parametric study involves the input drive cycle. A drive cycle is a speed vs. time data set that effectively "drives" the simulation. This experiment studies how different statistical quantities that describe a drive cycle (such as average speed, average acceleration, etc.) affect vehicle performance. Also using the LFM vehicle simulator, a new hybrid control strategy, called Drive Cycle Recognition (DCR), is developed and investigated. DCR involves classification of the current vehicle drive cycle (speed vs. time history) based on certain representative drive cycles. The identification is performed using the key statistical information explored in the drive cycle parametric study. It is shown that DCR can be used in a simulated environment to significantly improve upon the current strategy by addressing faults in the most sensitive parameters. Furthermore, a real world implementation of DCR on the University of Delaware Fuel Cell Bus shows that the current fuel cell configuration is undersized for the effective use of DCR. Finally, the LFM simulator is used to perform a Degree-of-Hybridization (DOH) analysis. This analysis involves experimenting with different balances between the power sources available in a hybrid vehicle. It is shown that an optimum balance exists for each driving style, but a significant compromise is needed to cover all driving styles the vehicle is likely to encounter.

Optimization of the Fuel Cell Renewable Hybrid Power Systems by Nicu Bizon Pdf

This book offers a comprehensive review of renewable energy sources and optimization strategies in hybrid power systems (HPSs). It analyses the main issues and challenges in the renewable (REW) HPS field, particularly those using fuel cell (FC) systems as their main source of energy. It then offers innovative solutions to these issues, comparing them to solutions currently found in the literature. The book discusses optimization algorithms and energy management strategies. The focus is chiefly on FC net power maximization and fuel economy strategies based on global optimization. The last two chapters discuss energy harvesting from photovoltaic systems and how to mitigate energy variability in REW FC HPS. The main content is supplemented by numerous examples and simulations. Academics, students and practitioners in relevant industrial branches interested in REW HPS finds it of considerable interest, as a reference book or for building their own HPSs based on the examples provided.

Vehicle Propulsion Systems by Lino Guzzella,Antonio Sciarretta Pdf

In this book the longitudinal behavior of road vehicles is analyzed. The main emphasis is on the analysis and minimization of the fuel and energy consumption. Most approaches to this problem enhance the complexity of the vehicle system by adding components such as electrical motors or storage devices. Such a complex system can only be designed by means of mathematical models. This text gives an introduction to the modeling and optimization problems typically encountered when designing new propulsion systems for passenger cars. It is intended for persons interested in the analysis and optimization of classical and novel vehicle propulsion systems. Its focus lies on the control-oriented mathematical description of the physical processes and on the model-based optimization of the system structure and of the supervisory control algorithms. This text has evolved from a lecture series at ETH Zurich. Prerequisites are general engineering topics and a first course in optimal control theory.

Impacting Commercialization of Rapid Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) by David Wood Pdf

Alternative propulsion technologies are becoming increasingly important with the rise of stricter regulations for vehicle efficiency, emission regulations, and concerns over the sustainability of crude oil supplies. The fuel cell is a critical component of alternative propulsion systems, and as such has many aspects to consider in its design. Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) powered by proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEFC) and fueled by hydrogen, offer the promise of zero emissions with excellent driving range of 300-400 miles, and fast refueling times; two major advantages over battery electric vehicles (BEVs). FCEVs face several remaining major challenges in order to achieve widespread and rapid commercialization. Many of the challenges, especially those from an FCEV system and subsystem cost and performance perspective are addressed in this book. Chapter topics include: • impact of FCEV commercialization • ways to address barriers to the market introduction of alternative vehicles • new hydrogen infrastructure cost comparisons • onboard chemical hydride storage • optimization of a fuel cell hybrid vehicle powertrain design

Static Optimization of Fuel Cell Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle by Sunday Julius Balogun Pdf

This thesis focuses on the static optimization of a fuel cell plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. The vehicle is been powered by three (3) sources of electrical energy. These sources of electrical energy are: fuel cell, supercapacitor, and lithium-ion battery. The main target of this thesis is to make good the performance of a fuel cell plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This will be achieved by applying static optimization method on the dynamic equations of a moving hybrid vehicle. The optimization model of this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) was formulated bases on multiple objectives. The objective parameters are: cost, volume, and mass. We were able to apply static optimization algorithm to find optimal solutions for both the objective values and decision variables of the multiple energy sources. The optimization model formulated from the dynamic equations, objective specifications, and design constrains were found to be feasible, bounded, and optimizable by subjecting the primal optimization model to its equivalent dual optimization test. Advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR) was used to stimulate vehicle performance of our design on a standard driving cycle. The results provide a better outcome than that of standard driving cycles.
