Introduction - Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle

• Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are powered by hydrogen.
• They are more efficient than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and produce no tailpipe emissions, they only emit water vapor and warm air.
• The U.S. Department of Energy leads research efforts to make hydrogen-powered vehicles an affordable, environmentally friendly, and safe transportation option.
• Powertrain Blockset & Simscape Driveline
• Built-in Controller Models
• Powertrain Blockset Blocks for Vehicle design
• Powertrain Design tradeoff studies
• Modeling of an Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle with MATLAB/Simulink
• Sample Output Comparison with Different Drive Cycles

Simulation & Result Analysis : Displays vehicle-level performance, battery state of charge (SOC), and equivalent fuel economy results that are useful for powertrain matching and component selection analysis. FCEVs use a propulsion system similar to that of electric vehicles, where energy stored as hydrogen is converted to electricity by the fuel cell. Unlike conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, these vehicles produce no harmful tailpipe emissions.

FCEVs are fueled with pure hydrogen gas stored in a tank on the vehicle. Similar to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, they can fuel in less than 4 minutes and have a driving range over 300 miles. Motor torque arbitration and power management: 1) Implements a regenerative braking algorithm for the traction motor to recover the maximum amount of kinetic energy from the vehicle. 2) Implements a power management algorithm that ensures the battery dynamic discharge and charge power limits are not exceeded. 3) The algorithm outputs the dynamic discharge and charge power limits as functions of battery state of charge (SOC). 4) Implements a virtual battery management system.
