Modeling and Simulation of PEM Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle with Multiple Power Sources

Abstract

This paper provides detailed modeling and simulation of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell electric vehicle. The power supply system consists of a PEM fuel cell and a battery bank. The power management system effectively manages the supply flow from the dual power supply system without compromising the efficient working condition of both power supply systems. The mathematical modeling of each subsystem of the hybrid electric vehicle is presented. All the subsystems are then combined and simulated and the results are presented and discussed.
