One promising alternative is the hybrid energy storage system (HESS), composed of a battery associated with supercapacitors (SC). In this work, a fuzzy logic power management control for the HESS is developed aiming to increase the overall system autonomy. When batteries an SC are associated, the power management complexity increases considerably. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the correct power distribution between the storage devices, in order to enhance the system efficiency, by saving the battery of excessive efforts. To reach these objectives, a particle swarm optimization was applied to tune the fuzzy controller in a Matlab simulation system. Finally, the optimized fuzzy controlled HESS was capable to extend the autonomy by 66.67%, as compared to a single battery-powered system, under the same operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81911999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed negotiation algorithm is based on well known Rubinstein alternating offers which is implemented and tested using a simple case scenario between EV and aggregator. Results achieved validates application of proposed negotiation mechanism for EV charging systems. Moreover, the general detailed description of the protocol as well as the implemented utility functions in this paper could expand its viability for more complex applications.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84114230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model-based algorithms have been ubiquitously accepted for SoC estimation due to their promising features. However, challenges remain concerning the elevated modeling precision requirement and appropriate filter parameter selection. This paper presents a novel combined model-based algorithm that instead of the prevailing implementation of the equivalent circuit model (ECM), an offline trained neural network (NN) is configured with an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) considering its capability of highly nonlinear battery modeling. Distinct profiles are employed to compare the modeling performances between NN and ECM. Subsequently, the proposed method is further explored with the residual-based adaptive covariance matching algorithm aiming to tune filter parameters dynamically. For comparison, ECM based EKF and UKF, along with the adaptive algorithm are also constructed. Ultimately, the presented filters are assessed and discussed under situations of initial offset, capacity error, and current sensor drift considering shunt thermal effects with real data obtained from WLTP lab results.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87967203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its purpose is to increase and stabilize stack performance and is carried out on an “activation bench” for multiple hours. Activation benches are very expensive. Therefore, to achieve low cost mass production of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), the time spent per fuel cell on a test bench needs to be reduced. The focus of this paper is to highlight optimizations that can be applied to the fuel cell manufacturing process to reduce this time. This includes adding, a so called “MEA Pre-Treatment” step to partially break-in a cell, before final stack assembly. Other optimizations include adjusting the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) conditions, reducing the amount of fuel cell membrane additives, or using different products to create catalyst ink. Finally, stack components storage conditions are considered since catalyst poisoning by air pollutants increases break-in time.","PeriodicalId":6851,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88548506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An optimal performance has been gotten with six bolts. And the ratios for the best horizontal position and the best longitudinal distribution are 5mm and 0.5 respectively. Besides, with the thickness of the front end plate being 20mm, the best shock resistance can be obtained, and the weight of the front end plate can also be reduced, which contributing to the lightweight of the fuel cell stack.
