Abstract :
Fuel cells and batteries are expected to gradually replace combustion engines as the main power supply systems of hybrid electric vehicles. With super capacitor based energy storage presented in this paper, they are ensured to operate in the good operation conditions without reducing the dynamics on the drive train. Thus high efficiency and good lifecycle can be achieved.
