Project Code :TEMAED262

Objective

The main objective of this project is to investigate the impact of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques on the performance of a fuel-cell-battery hybrid electric vehicle (FC-BEV) system.

Abstract

This paper proposes both fuel cells (FC) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) which is having a wide applications in electric vehicles (EV). Combining the two technologies (FC and BESS) to form a hybrid EV provides the combined advantages of both technologies which improved response to transients, clean energy source, increased efficiency and increased autonomy. In this study, using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to control the FC output and its impact on the overall power train is investigated.

Keywords: fuel cells, hybrid electric vehicles, battery energy storage, powertrain design, electric vehicles.
