Abstract

The fuel cell/lithium-ion battery hybrid systems offer a promising solution for energy-efficient power supply. However, fuel economy, power distribution quality, and system lifetime critically depend on the performance of the energy management strategy (EMS). To address the challenges posed by frequent start-stop operations and severe load fluctuations under marine conditions—where existing strategies often struggle to balance computational complexity, operational adaptability, and durability—this paper proposes a real-time load-disturbance-based EMS (LD-EMS). The strategy innovatively adopts real-time load fluctuation intensity as the core decision variable. Through lightweight online evaluation, it dynamically identifies power variation trends, intelligently allocates transient and high-frequency fluctuating power to the lithium battery, and thereby maintains the fuel cell operation within a high-efficiency and stable region.
