Fuzzy Logic Based Control of a Fuel Cell/Battery/Ultra-capacitor Hybrid Power System via a Multi-Phase Multi-Input Converter

Abstract

Fuel-cell (FC) based electric vehicles (EVs) are promising to reduce the carbon footprint due to the transportation sector. FCs are environmentally friendly systems that generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. Unfortunately, FCs solely fail to meet the high power density requirements of EVs. Therefore, this paper presents a FC/battery/ultra-capacitor (UC) hybrid power system (HPS) for electric vehicle applications. In this work, the power conversion is realized employing a single dc-dc converter which is a multi-phase multi-input converter to offer a compact and efficient HPS. After analyzing the converter, a fuzzy-logic-based energy management strategy (EMS) is developed to limit the rate of change of FC and battery power levels and regulate the voltage of UC. Finally, the offered EMS has been evaluated thanks to simulation models of the converter and sources.
