Abstract
Introduction
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
