Modelling and simulation of power system of battery, solar and fuel cell powered Hybrid Electric vehicle

To meet the never ending fuel demand of the vehicle, Hybrid Vehicle was introduced in the research. Generally a hybrid vehicle is the combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) and electrical drive system. The performance of the vehicle is largely dependent on the accuracy and efficiency of the electrical system of the vehicle powertrain. This paper analyzed an electrical system for the powertrain of Hybrid Electric vehicle which is powered by Fuel cell, Battery and PV panel. A Simulink model is prepared and simulated successfully. Permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system is used in the Simulink model. The simulation results like rotor speed, electromagnetic torque, current, DC-DC converter current, voltage, state of charging, grid charger performance, photovoltaic panel performance and mechanical torque are discussed and compared with the state of the art methods. Including this the research also compared the performance of energy storage system with the reference which is frequently used in the electrical system of the HEV.
