=== '''Why Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle?''' ===
Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV) uses hydrogen gas to fuel the vehicle. Compared to a conventional vehicle, this vehicle produces zero-emission since it only emits water vapour. This is one of the solutions for an eco-friendly vehicle. In addition, fuel cell hybrid vehicle does not need to charge the battery since it capable to maintain the battery SoC at a certain level. This has the advantages over the pure electric vehicle which need to take a long period of time to fully charge the battery.

In order to maintain the State of Charge (SoC) of the battery, the energy flow inside the FCHV needs to be regulated. This motivates the project to develop a Power Control Unit (PCU) to regulate the energy flow between fuel cell stack (FCS) and the battery.

However, the SoC of a battery is practically not observable. This requires the team to develop a Battery Management Strategy to estimate the SoC of the battery.

=== '''Aims''' ===
The aims of this project are:
*Develop a PCU for the Energy Management Strategy where it capable to:
**To control and regulate the power flow from two power sources (FCS and battery) of the FCHV
**Minimise the total hydrogen fuel consumption
**Maintain the SoC of the battery
**To consider and observe the power density and the energy density to achieve optimal energy storage for the FCHV
*Develop a Battery Management System to estimate the SoC of the battery
*Develop a fully functional simulator to analyse the performance of the PCU

== '''Background''' ==
=== '''PEM Fuel Cell System''' ===
Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are the current focus of research for fuel cell vehicle applications. PEM fuel cells are made from several layers of different materials. Figure for the PEM fuel cell is shown below [1].

[[File:FcHdfff.png|600px|frameless|center]]

PEM fuel cell stack is a device that generates electricity by a chemical reaction. Every fuel cell has two electrodes called, respectively, the anode and cathode. The reactions that produce electricity take place at the electrodes. Every fuel cell also contain electrolytes which carries electrically charged particles from one electrode to the other, and a catalyst, which speeds the reactions at the electrodes. This process will produce hydrogen and oxygen gas as the hydrogen particle gains electron to form hydrogen gas while water particle losses electron to form oxygen gas and hydrogen particles.

[[File:Equation2.png|frameless|center]]

Oxygen enters the fuel cell at the cathode, then combines with electrons returning from the electrical circuit and hydrogen ions travelled through the electrolyte from the anode. In other cell types the oxygen picks up electrons and then travels through the electrolyte to the anode, where it combines with hydrogen ions.

The electrolyte plays a key role. It must permit only the appropriate ions to pass between the anode and cathode. If free electrons or other substances could travel through the electrolyte, they would disrupt the chemical reaction.

Whether they combine at anode or cathode, together hydrogen and oxygen form water, which drains from the cell. As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, it will generate electricity.

=== '''Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle''' ===

In recent years, the development of hybrid vehicles increases dramatically where hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are widely used throughout the world. The term hybrid vehicle generally means that the vehicle uses one or more different form of power sources to power up the vehicle. In this project, we will focus on Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV), where it uses hydrogen gas as fuel to power the vehicle. In addition, the battery pack is also added to act as energy storage and provide sufficient energy to the vehicle when necessary.

Moreover, FCHV consists of several modes during operation such as fuel cell mode, hybrid mode, battery mode and regenerative braking mode which is shown in figure below. Firstly, fuel cell mode power up the vehicle while charging the battery by just using the fuel cell stack. During the battery mode, the only power source of the vehicle is battery. The hybrid mode made up of two different power sources (FCS and battery) supplying power to drive the vehicle. Lastly regenerative braking mode supplies power back to the battery pack by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy.

Based on figure below, the FCHV mainly uses the combination of the FCS, battery pack, motor driver and DC-DC converter. A PCU is needed in order to regulate and control multiple power sources of the FCHV.

[[File:4 Modes of Vehicle.png|500px|center|frameless|Figure 1: 4 Modes of FCHV.]]

== '''Methodology''' ==
=== '''Power Plant''' ===
FCHV system mainly uses the combination of PEM fuel cell stack, DC-DC converter, PCU, 24V Nickel Metal Battery Pack, Electric Motor and Motor Driver. DC-DC converter plays an important role in the powerplant of the FCHV because DC-DC converter can control and regulate the energy flow of the FCHV. On top of that, the DC-DC converter receives the signal from the PCU to change the desired output requested by the PCU. Based on the figure below [2], all the information of the powerplant is sent to the PCU and PCU will send a control signal action to the DC-DC converter. Therefore, an energy management system is required to regulate the energy flow.

[[File:Overview of FCHV.jpg|600px|frameless|center]]

The specification of each of the components in the powerplant of the FCHV is listed as shown below.

'''Fuel Cell Stack'''
*Type of Fuel Cells: PEM
*Number of Cells: 14 cells
*Rated Power: 30W
*Performance: 8.4V/3.6A
'''DC-DC Converter'''
*Input Range: 8-14V
*Output Range: 15-25V, 1.2-2A
'''Battery Pack'''
*Type: Nickel Metal
*Specification: 24V 3000mAh

After listing the specification of the FCHV, the energy flow of the energy is required to understand beforehand before doing the energy management system of the vehicle. In order to understand the energy flow of the FCHV, the system block diagram of the energy flow of the FCHV is shown below to illustrate how the energy flows inside the FCHV.

The total power demand formulation from the motor driver can be defined as below:

[[File:Equation.png|800px|frameless|center]]

where Pfs is the output power of the Fuel Cell Stack, Pbo denotes the output power from the battery, PAux denotes the auxiliarites's power, PDC-DC denotes the power output of the DC-DC converter and Prequired denotes the power requried need from the vehicle.

=== '''High Level Design''' ===

After designing the power plant of the FCHV, the design of the overall system was further expanded to observe the behaviour of the power plant based on the driving cycle of the vehicle as the input. The main purpose of developing the Energy Management System (EMS) is to regulate the energy flow between the fuel cell and battery while minimising the fuel consumption of the vehicle and sustain the battery SoC. Next, the Battery Management System (BMS) focuses on the estimate the SoC of the battery because in practical, the SoC of the battery is not observable.

Further detail of motor controller, EMS and BMS will be discussed below.

[[File:High Level Design.png|500px|center|frameless]]

=== '''Energy Management Strategy Design''' ===

The optimisation problem is solved by using Markov Decision Process. Since we have driving history from the past, we are using Markov Chain on these set of data to get a transition matrix of the vehicle's power demand. This transition matrix shows the probability of each power demand changes to other power demand. Then, since we are using Markov Chain we proceed to model the optimisation problem by using Markov Decision Process. This is because we are using the probability matrix of driving history to determine the optimal control to regulate the power flow between fuel cell and battery. Markov Decision Process is an algorithm to determine an optimal control based of state of the vehicle and reward function. We determine the state of the vehicle as SoC of the battery. While we determine the reward function as cost function of fuel consumption and SoC deviation from a reference.

Then, we solve the optimisation problem by using Bellman equation based on the figure below. The input is transition matrix of battery SoC, reward function, discount factor and states of the vehicle. The output is optimal current from the fuel cell which will be sent its signal to the DC-DC converter.

[[File:MDP Bellman.png|500px|center|frameless]]

=== '''Battery Management System Design''' ===

Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used as our battery management system (BMS) to obtain accurate SoC estimation. An accurate SoC estimation is needed because we want to prevent the battery from over-charging or under-charging which can cause permanent damage to the battery and reduces its lifetime. EKF is an intelligent and optimal algorithm, it can deal with the non-linearity of the battery model which cause by the dynamic response during battery charging or discharging. EKF is also has the ability to handle variable that cannot measure directly. In the case of BMS, the unmeasurable value is SOC.

The figure shown below represents the whole process of the EKF. The EKF takes battery terminal current I(k) as input, battery terminal voltage V(k) as output and battery SOC as the state which is our variable of interest. First, the EKF use the previous state and current to predict the current state. Then, it estimates the output voltage by using I(k) and current state from prediction. After that, it linearises the battery model by doing derivative and calculates the Kalman gain. At last, it compares the estimated output voltage V ̂(k) with the measured output voltage V(k) by using the Kalman gain to determine the weighting between the two output voltage and update the state. These steps are doing iteratively.

The Power Plant consists of Fuel cell, battery and DC-DC converter. It will receive signal from the controller to output how many current needed from the fuel cell. Fuel cell and battery will supply the requested power to the motor. A Battery Management System also can found in here where it used to estimate the SoC of the battery. Then the SoC of battery information will be sent back to the controller.

2. Motor
From the velocity of the vehicle, the power request is determined. The parameters of the vehicle such as radius of the wheels, weight of the vehicle are based on the Fuel Cell Hybrid Model.

3. Controller
The controller is the main part of this project where we need to implement the Energy Management Strategy to regulate the power flow between fuel cell and battery. It will determine optimal current command and send the signal to the DC-DC converter in the Power Plant.

4. Power Plant

Fuel cell and battery will supply the requested power to the motor. A Battery Management System also can found in here where it used to estimate the SoC of the battery. Then the SoC of battery information will be sent back to the controller.

'''The figure below shows the Comparison of Fuel Consumption with MDP and Ruled-Based'''
[[File:Fuel Consumption .jpg|600px|frameless|center|Figure 6: Comparison of Fuel Consumption with MDP and Ruled-Based]]

'''The figure below shows the Total Fuel Consumption with MDP and Ruled-Based'''

'''The figure below shows the Comparison of SoC of Battery with MDP and Ruled-Based'''
[[File:SOC vs Time.jpg|600px|frameless|center]]

The results above use the same driving cycle, we can see that the total fuel consumption for the MDP strategy is slightly lower compared to the rule-based strategy after the end of the driving cycle. Also, both of the methods have similar results for the SoC of the battery and maintaining the SoC at 50%. Even though the rule-based strategy may perform better than MDP strategy, MDP still be more robust and easier to tune its parameters with different type of driving behaviours.

=== '''Performance of Battery Management System''' ===

[[File:Kalman Filter Results.jpg|600px|frameless|center]]

The analyse the performance of the our Battery Management Strategy, we compared the estimation SoC by Kalman Filter with real SoC reading from the battery model. The estimation curve has small value of deviation with the real SoC reading. This can ensure the control action determined by the PCU is accurate and correct.

=='''Conclusion & Future Work'''==
The controller was developed by implementing a Markov Decision Process as the strategy. The Battery Management System was introduced the application of Extended Kalman Filter. The fully functional simulator was developed in Simulink to analyse the performance of the controller and the Battery Management System. This proposed strategy is accepted to continue its development by implementing it to the actual model of Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle which is shown below. This strategy can be improved more by using online optimisation problem solving which can be more robust compared to offline. Other than that, compare the MDP strategy with other strategies, for instance model predictive control, can encourages more research and improving the MDP strategy so that it can perform better in the future.

==Abstract==

This project investigates the DNA of a man who was found dead at the Somerton Beach, South Australia, in 1948. The cause of his death remains unknown until now and police could not find any identity of that man during his death. This project consists of several tasks that contributes to solving the mystery of the Somerton Man's identity. The DNA of the deceased man which was extracted from his hair sample from the South Australian Police Historical Society was given to this group. By using the DNA sample, some analyses were done. The first task counts the amount of SNP available in the Somerton Man's DNA file. The amount of SNP available in his DNA file is insufficient for analysis on GEDmatch, a website used to analyse DNA. Using a certain programming algorithm, a number of SNPs are added to the each chromosome in the Somerton Man's DNA file to be able to investigate his DNA using GEDmatch. The second task determines the ethnicity of the Somerton Man. This process can be done without modifying the Somerton Man's DNA file. In other words, from his original file, his ethnicity can be determined using a tool provided in GEDmatch.

==Introduction==

In 1948, a man was found mysteriously dead on Somerton Beach,
Adelaide, South Australia. His identity remains unknown until this day,
and the case has been classified as one of Australia’s biggest unsolved
mysteries. There was no ID or anything on him that shows a clue on
who he actually was.

This project analyses Somerton Man’s DNA file extracted from his hair
which has been corrupted. The project aims to investigate the Somerton
Man’s DNA with other sample DNA files via computer techniques and
biological engineering methods.

==Background==

===DNA===

DNA is the hereditary material which stores the genetic information in humans [2].
There are two types of DNA in human beings, one is known as nuclear DNA which is
located in cell nucleus and another type is mitochondrial DNA which is located in the
mitochondria. This project only focuses on the analysis of nuclear DNA. DNA stores
genetic information as a sequence built up with four types of nitrogen bases which
are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) [2]. Also, a sugar
molecule and a phosphate molecule are
attached to each nitrogen base to form a
molecule called nucleotide. The bases
would pair up (A with T and C with G)
and multiple nucleotides are placed in
two strands to form a double helix which
looks like a spiral [2]. In general, a DNA
is a genetic sequence formed by multiple
base pairs. The genetic instructions of
building and maintaining an organism
are obtained from the order of these
base pairs [2]. There are about 3 billion
bases in human DNA, in which more
than 99% of the bases are common in all human beings, and the physiological
differences among people depends on these 1% DNA.

===Chromosome===
Chromosome is an integrated package of DNA molecules. It has thread-like
structure, and DNA molecules are coiled up around hi stones proteins to form the
structure [3]. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in human body’s cell, which is 46
chromosomes in total. 22 pairs are called autosomes which are common for both
males and females and the last 23rd pair is sex chromosomes which differ males and
females. In this project, the DNA data analysis would only focus on autosomes [4].

[[File:chromosome1.png|thumb|300px|Figure 2: Chromosome structure]] [[File:chromosome2.png|thumb|300px|Figure 3: 23 pairs of chromosomes in human]]

===SNP===

Single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) are most common type of genetic variation
among human beings [5]. Each SNP represents a difference in a nucleotide which is
a single DNA molecule [6]. For instance, a SNP may replace a nucleotide of base
guanine (G) with cytosine (C). These SNPs can be found nearly once in every 1,000
nuceotides on average in a person’s DNA. Most SNPs do not effect health of owner.
However, some of these variations may associated with diseases.

===DNA reference file===
A DNA reference file stores a group of SNPs data of owner’s DNA. The format of
DNA reference files using in this project is the same format of 23andMe company’s
file. A screen shot of a sample file is shown below.

[[File:Dna_ref.png]]

As shown in the figure, there are 4 columns rsid, chromosone, position and genotype
in the DNA reference file. The rsid is a unique id used to identify a specific SNP [9].
The format of rsid starts with “rs” and followed by a number (eg. rs123456). These
rsids are commonly used by researchers and databases. There is another special
format of rsid that starts with “i” and followed by a number (eg. i123456). This “i”
format is used internally by 23andMe to identify the unknown SNP and can not be
used in public database. The second column chromosone identify which
chromosome the SNP belongs to. Then the third column position indicates positions
of SNPs in owner’s DNA sequence. Last column genotype represent the base pairs
of variants(A, T, G, or C). Note that there are some cases, the genotype result for
some SNPs are not able be provided and “--” would be displays in genotype column
[9].

==Task 1==

Firstly, the Somerton man’s DNA file was
examined and the available SNPs to be
used for analysis were counted.
There are more than 0.6 million SNPs in
Somerton man’s DNA file, but only about
2%of them have determined base pairs.

==Task 2==

Ethnicity check via GEDmatch shows that he was North
Atlantic for a proportion of more than a quarter of the
chart. The second largest section shows that he was Baltic,
which does not stray too much from North Atlantic region.

There is only slight change on the ethnicity regions during
the degradation process. It is shown in Figure 5 that the
ethnicity does not intersect with one another for two
sample DNA files, thus concludes that the degradation of
DNA does not affect the proportion of ethnicity.
This then concludes that the Somerton Man’s origin is
around North Atlantic countries and Baltic region based
on Figure 4. The countries that are associated with these
regions are shown in Figure 6.

==Task 3==

Somerton Man’s DNA was analysed with dbSNP
575 potential genetic diseases were found associated to
Somerton Man’s DNA.
There is no result strongly support Somerton Man's known
physical appearence such as hair colour, teeth structure or
eye colour. But several interesting characteristics were
discovered.
One of the diseases found in his DNA is Skin fragility
woolly hair syndrome which indicates that Somerton Man
might have woolly hair abnormality.

==Conclusion==

Task 1: The proportion of Somerton Man’s DNA is quite low
to conduct most DNA analysis services. But there still are
some techniques can be tested with it.

Task 2: The Somerton Man might be North Atlantic
according to the ethnicity check on GEDmatch

Task 3: No strong evidences to confirm his physical
charateristics and genetic diseases. But several interesting
results were discovered.

=== '''Why Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle?''' ===
Fuel cell hybrid vehicle uses hydrogen gas to fuel the vehicle. Compared to conventional vehicle, this vehicle produces zero emission since it only emits water vapour. This is one of the solution for an eco-friendly vehicle. In addition, fuel cell hybrid vehicle does not need to charge the battery since it capable to maintain the battery SoC at a certain level. This has the advantages over pure electric vehicle which need to take a long period of time to fully charge the battery.

In order to maintain the SoC of the battery, the energy flow inside the FCHV need to be regulated. This motivates the project to develop a Power Control Unit (PCU) to regulate the energy flow between fuel cell and the battery.

However, the SoC of a battery is practically not observable. This require the team to develop a Battery Management Strategy to estimate the SoC of the battery.

=== '''Aim''' ===
The aims of this project are:
*Develop a PCU for the Energy Management Strategy where it capable to:
**Minimise the total hydrogen fuel consumption
**Maintain the SoC of the battery
*Develop a Battery Management System to estimate the SoC of the battery.
*Develop a fully functional simulator to analyse the performance of the PCU

=== '''Introduction''' ===
There are many types of vehicle in the market right now. Conventional vehicle using petrol, electric vehicle using battery, and fuel cell vehicle using hydrogen gas as their source of energy.
Other than that, there is also hybrid vehicle where operates with two from the sources of energy. As amount of petroleum is decreasing in every year, more and more researches on producing vehicle using renewable energy as source of energy.
