An Analytical Optimization Method for Improved Fuel Cell–Battery–Ultracapacitor Powertrain
Abstract
Fuel-cell vehicles have the potential to revolutionize transportation. In particular, a fuel-cell vehicle using a combined battery–ultracapacitor energy storage system can provide excellent fuel economy and performance while extending the battery life due to more frequent use of the ultracapacitor. This paper first presents a new fuel cell–battery–ultracapacitor (FC–B–UC) vehicle topology. Then, a vehicle simulator is used to show that the new …
