Abstract

This research compares the performance of plug-in fuel cell electric vehicles (PFCEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) using MATLAB Simulink. The simulations were run for 1800 s using the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle (WLTC 3a), spanning a distance of 23 km, to assess important performance characteristics such as energy efficiency, consumption, emissions, and life cycle costs. The PFCEV architecture, which combines a medium-sized fuel cell and a sizable battery pack, has a strategic advantage because it requires fewer charging stations than BEVs and fewer hydrogen filling stations than FCEVs. The findings reveal that PFCEVs provide a unique combination of high efficiency, low emissions, rapid recharging, and greater driving range while requiring minimal hydrogen infrastructure. Compared to BEVs, PFCEVs minimize range anxiety while improving grid stability, and unlike FCEVs, they maximize hydrogen utilization via a complicated power management system. This study highlighted PFCEVs as a viable choice for sustainable mobility, serving as a valuable link between BEVs and FCEVs in the evolution of electric transportation. The findings indicate that PFCEVs have a good possibility of becoming a preferred vehicle technology, bridging the gap between battery and hydrogen-powered electric vehicles while addressing infrastructure and efficiency challenges.

插电式燃料电池汽车与纯电动汽车和燃料电池汽车的性能对比分析

本研究使用MATLAB Simulink对插电式燃料电池汽车（pfcev）、纯电池电动汽车（bev）和燃料电池电动汽车（fcev）的性能进行了比较。在全球统一轻型车辆测试周期（WLTC 3a）下，模拟运行了1800年，跨越了23公里的距离，以评估能源效率、消耗、排放和生命周期成本等重要性能特征。PFCEV架构结合了一个中等大小的燃料电池和一个相当大的电池组，具有战略优势，因为它比纯电动汽车需要更少的充电站，比fcev需要更少的加氢站。研究结果表明，pfcev具有高效率、低排放、快速充电和更大行驶里程的独特组合，同时需要最少的氢基础设施。与纯电动汽车相比，pfcev在提高电网稳定性的同时最大限度地减少了里程焦虑，与fcev不同的是，它们通过复杂的电源管理系统最大限度地提高了氢的利用率。这项研究强调了pfcev是可持续交通的可行选择，在电动交通的发展中，它是bev和fcev之间有价值的纽带。研究结果表明，pfcev很有可能成为首选的汽车技术，在解决基础设施和效率挑战的同时，弥合电池和氢动力电动汽车之间的差距。
