Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy management/control strategy design is one of the key issues in the advancement of fuel cell and hybrid vehicles so as to maximize the reliability, efficiency, and lifetime of the system while satisfying the requested power. Several methods have been put forward and are currently being developed, from physical model-based control methods to pure data-driven techniques. Each of the proposed techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages and can be appropriately utilized in several cases. Furthermore, from a global standpoint, the power sharing between different sources of a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) results in varied energetic performance and imposes ageing/degradation on the utilized sources. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate the most recent advances related to the energy management strategy of FCHEVs along with theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of all the involved energy/power sources.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Advanced energy management strategies (hierarchical, optimization-based, intelligent-based, health-conscious);
  • Fuel cell systems and fuel cell vehicles;
  • Online identification methods for energy sources;
  • Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV);
  • Power sharing among energy storage systems;
  • Fault-tolerant control;
  • Aging, degradation, diagnostic, and prognostic tools;
  • Multi-fuel cell systems.

Energy management strategy (EMS), as a core technology in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), profoundly influences the lifespan of fuel cells and the economy of the vehicle. Aiming at the problem of the EMS of FCVs based on a global optimization algorithm not being applicable in real-time, a rule extraction-based EMS is proposed for fuel cell commercial vehicles. Based on the results of the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm in the CLTC-C cycle, the deep learning approach is employed to extract output power rules for fuel cell, leading to the establishment of a rule library. Using this library, a real-time applicable rule-based EMS is designed. The simulated driving platform is built in a CARLA, SUMO, and MATLAB/Simulink joint simulation environment. Simulation results indicate that the proposed strategy yields savings ranging from 3.64% to 8.96% in total costs when compared to the state machine-based strategy. Full article
