| Popis: | This paper describes the development of a hybrid Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) electric vehicle consisting of a 3 kW PEMFC, PV arrays, secondary battery sets, and a chemical hydrogen generation system. We first integrate a hybrid PEMFC electric vehicle and design power management strategies. The on-board hydrogen generation system can provide sufficient hydrogen for continuous operation of the PEMFC, and the performance tests demonstrate the effectiveness of the integrated system in providing sustainable power for driving. We then use Matlab/SimPowerSystem™ to develop a simulation model and adjust the model parameters using experimental data. The results indicated that the model can effectively predict system responses and can be used for performance evaluation. We also use the simulation model to estimate the mileage and costs of the developed electric vehicle, and we discuss the impacts of component sizes on system costs and travelling ranges. |
