Abstract
Fuel cell vehicles have broad prospects in the field of transportation electrification, while their operating characteristics limit their application in complex working conditions. As a result, fuel cell vehicles are generally equipped with Li-ion batteries or ultra-capacitors as auxiliary power sources. An energy management strategy (EMS) is essential to maintain the efficient, stable, and reliable operation of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles. In this work, a driving pattern recognition (DPR) method is introduced to improve the adaptability of the EMS. First, fuzzy C-means clustering is applied to classify different driving patterns, facilitating the construction of representative driving cycles. Under each driving cycle, the parameters of fuzzy logic controllers are optimized using a genetic algorithm. Finally, the corresponding fuzzy logic controller is invoked based on the DPR results for power allocation in this hybrid power electronic system. The proposed method reduces the overall cost by at least 9.94% compared with a fuzzy logic control strategy, while remaining within 1.83% of the dynamic programming strategy, demonstrating its near-optimal performance with real-time feasibility.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal covers all issues of widespread or generic interest to engineers who work in the field of power electronics. The Journal editors will enforce standards and a review policy equivalent to the IEEE Transactions, and only papers of high technical quality will be accepted. Papers which treat new and novel device, circuit or system issues which are of generic interest to power electronics engineers are published. Papers which are not within the scope of this Journal will be forwarded to the appropriate IEEE Journal or Transactions editors. Examples of papers which would be more appropriately published in other Journals or Transactions include: 1) Papers describing semiconductor or electron device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. 2) Papers describing applications in specific areas: e.g., industry, instrumentation, utility power systems, aerospace, industrial electronics, etc. These papers would be more appropriate for the Transactions of the Society which is concerned with these applications. 3) Papers describing magnetic materials and magnetic device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. 4) Papers on machine theory. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. While original papers of significant technical content will comprise the major portion of the Journal, tutorial papers and papers of historical value are also reviewed for publication.
