The Multi-Objective Optimization of Powertrain Design and Energy Management Strategy for Fuel Cell–Battery Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Considering the limited driving range and inconvenient energy replenishment way of battery electric vehicle, fuel cell electric vehicles (FC EVs) are taken as a promising way to meet the requirements for long-distance low-carbon driving. However, due to the limitation of FC power ability, a battery is usually adopted as the supplement power source to fill the gap between the requirement of driving and the serviceability of FC. In consequence, energy management is essential and crucial to an efficient power flow to the wheel. In this paper, a self-optimizing power matching strategy is proposed, considering the energy efficiency and battery degradation, via implementing a deep deterministic policy gradient. Based on the proposed strategy, less energy consumption and longer FC and battery life can be expected in FC EV powertrain with optimal hybridization degree.

Advancements in Battery Cooling Techniques for Enhanced Performance and Safety in Electric Vehicles: A Comprehensive Review

“…[ 59 ] BTMS design should balance the trade‐off between the thermal performance and the energy consumption of the battery pack. [ 60 ] The energy consumption of the BTMS can be estimated by measuring the difference between the input or output energy and the usable energy of the battery pack, which is affected by the internal resistance and the efficiency of the battery. The energy consumption can be reduced by optimizing the design parameters, such as the cooling or heating power, the coolant flow rate, the coolant temperature, and the control strategy of the BTMS.…”
