Popis: Fuel cell hybrid vehicles are a viable alternative to traditional internal combustion vehicles. In order to improve its driving range, this research provides an energy management strategy for the power distribution system of hybrid electric vehicles. The system architecture consists of the main energy source, which is a fuel cell connected to the load via a power converter, and the secondary energy source, which is a battery connected in parallel to the load. Both energy sources provide the power to move the vehicle. In this paper, the first goal is to analyze the influence of several parameters in the energy management optimization. Those parameters are the fuel cell power range, internal resistance and open-circuit voltage; the power converter efficiency; and the internal resistance and open-circuit voltage of the battery. The second goal is to analyze the feasibility of using simplified models of the battery open-circuit voltage and the fuel cell internal variable resistance. Every analysis is developed within an energy management optimization process, which minimizes the total energy losses in the fuel cell and battery over a working day (8 hours).
