Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: To solve the problems of the lack of economic efficiency and the short driving range of electric commercial vehicles, a hybrid system was developed in this work that uses fuel cells as a range extender. In addition, a method to solve the problem of multi-power energy management was proposed using the model predictive control as a framework. In the state of charge maintenance interval, a quadratic utility function was used to calculate the output power of the fuel cell and battery. The unknown parameters in the quadratic utility function were solved using the model prediction control. Speed prediction was performed using long short-term memory and particle swarm optimization. The demanded power sequence within the prediction horizon was calculated based on the predicted speed. The dynamic programming algorithm was used to solve the power demand sequence within the prediction horizon length, and the unknown parameters in the utility function were deduced inversely. The simulation results show that the proposed energy management strategy (EMS) is superior to conventional EMS in improving component durability and vehicle economy.
