Abstract
This paper proposes a new energy management system to combine Fuel Cells (FC) and photovoltaic (PV) panels as primary power sources. Also, battery and Super Capacitor (SC) banks are considered as secondary energy systems. The high power density and the fast dynamics of SCs combined with the high energy density and medium dynamics of batteries would be an ideal combination for FC vehicles. The high step-up DC/DC converter is used along with the implementation of the maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT) to adapt the low power of PV panels with the high power of DC-Link. Also, an evolutionary optimization algorithm is proposed along with the FOPI controller to improve the output of the energy management algorithm and control the sources more efficiently. The simulation results are validated for a standard urban driving cycle. It indicates for the case of the sustained presence of a PV source during a typical driving cycle, the source delivers about 55% of its maximum power.
