Abstract:

A Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) method was proposed for Energy Management Strategies (EMS) to enhance the fuel efficiency of the Fuel Cell (FC) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). With a supercapacitor as an auxiliary energy source to optimize the hydrogen consumption, the power required under working conditions, the State of Charge (SOC) of the supercapacitors, and the fuel cell’s working efficiency were incorporated as input variables into the fuzzy controller to improve the fuzzy rules, considering the two states of automobile drive and braking. The Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) was employed to optimize the membership functions of the fuzzy controller. The circle mapping technique was utilized for initializing the sparrow population, with a random walk strategy to perturb the global optimal solution. Advisor software and the Matlab/Simulink environment were employed for modeling and conducting joint simulations. The results show that the energy management strategy reduces 29.38% and 29.88% of equivalent hydrogen consumption, specifically under the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) and the HighWay Fuel Economy Test (HWFET) operational scenarios, with decreasing the occurrence of load changes during the fuel cell’s operation, and consequently enhancing its longevity.
