Abstract

A forward looking simulation platform for fuel cell hybrid powertrain is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment in this paper. Components of fuel cell hybrid powertrain are tested and characteristic parameters are obtained to build models. The component models are verified by comparing with experiment data. Diver model is constructed for forward looking simulation method. Controller model including power distribution strategy and regenerative braking strategy is separated from component models. The simulation platform is validated with data from testbed experiments. Four configurations of fuel cell hybrid powertrain are studied and analyzed using this simulation platform. Application of the platform shows it is a powerful tool for development of fuel cell vehicle.
