Abstract

The increasingly serious environmental pollution and the shortage of social energy have promoted the rapid development of fuel cell vehicles. The major factor which limits the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles is durability. Accurately estimating the state and parameters of a fuel cell is critical to extending the life of the fuel cell. To address this challenge, we extended a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) lumped parameter model and incorporated new algorithms that are essential to estimate the health of the fuel cell in a range-extended fuel cell car. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm has been used to estimate the ohmic internal resistance of the fuel cell in real time. By using the unscented transformation (UT) method, the linearization of the nonlinear state equation is avoided, and the filtering accuracy is improved without increasing the complexity of the system. By comparing simulation and experimental results, the feasibility and accuracy of the algorithm in this paper are further verified. This method has high estimation accuracy and is suitable for an embedded system. The research of this method is an important basis for improving the control strategy of fuel cell vehicles. Reasonable use of fuel cells can extend battery life, and this method is of great significance to the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.
