Abstract
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) powertrain layouts and control strategies have historically overlooked the asymmetric energy storage effect, despite its significant impact on system efficiency. In this study, we propose a novel FCEV powertrain layout using dual fuel cells to uncover hidden fuel efficiency improvement factors in comparison with the conventional Single Fuel Cell System (SFS). To address the issues of low efficiency operation in SFS and the limitations of existing energy management strategies that hinder high output performance, we present a minimum efficiency-based power control strategy. Additionally, we implement a partial system operation strategy to optimize efficiency according to the state of the power sources. This combined approach results in substantial improvements in both hardware and software efficiency, a possibility that was not previously achievable. Through this research, we demonstrate the potential for enhancing the fuel efficiency of the multi-stack system, a concept that has not been implemented yet. Moreover, we propose a new direction for the architectural design of FCEVs that overcomes the limitations of the SFS, thereby addressing potential malfunctions.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Automotive Technology has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in all fields of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among researchers in different parts of the world and also among researchers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics, Engineering Design and Materials Sciences, AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from thermal engineering, flow analysis, structural analysis, modal analysis, control, vehicular electronics, mechatronis, electro-mechanical engineering, optimum design methods, ITS, and recycling. Interest extends from the basic science to technology applications with analytical, experimental and numerical studies.
The emphasis is placed on contributions that appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the innovative disciplines of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING may be published. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published.
When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the editors.
No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit.
