Research on Multi-Objective Optimized Energy Management Strategy for Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle Based on Work Condition Recognition

In order to mitigate the environmental pollution problem, the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), as one kind of renewable energy industry, is researched and developed. The performance of FCEV is deeply relied on the energy management strategy (EMS), an inappropriate EMS may cause the bad performance of FCEV. Strategies designed under specific work condition have poor adaptability to complex work conditions. What's more, these strategies give little concern on the volatility of fuel cell's output power, which will cause a loss of fuel cell's life. Aiming at decreasing the hydrogen consumption of FCEV and the volatility of the output power of fuel cell, an optimized fuzzy logic control energy management strategy based on work condition recognition is proposed. In order to achieve a better performance, this strategy can recognize instant driving condition, and pick the corresponding parameters of fuzzy logic control system from the preset database of the parameters. The database is obtained by offline optimization with genetic algorithm. A simulation result based on the MATLAB/Simulink platform is obtained to demonstrate that this strategy has a better performance than a conventional fuzzy logic controller with fixed parameters under mixed work conditions.
