Abstract

The power distribution strategy of hybrid power sources is an important issue for fuel cell vehicles. A good power distribution control strategy can realize the optimal control of the vehicle energy, which can save energy and improve the operating conditions of the power source. Therefore, this article proposes a power distribution strategy. First, in order to solve the problems existing in the existing fuel cell model and the lithium-ion battery model, an improved hybrid power system model with better dynamic performance was established in the Simulink. Second, in order to ensure the durability of the power system, operation constraints are added to the distribution strategy. Finally, the power allocation is regarded as a nonlinear programming optimization problem and solved by a nonlinear programming algorithm. The nonlinear programming algorithm selects the BFGS algorithm. The simulation results of other control strategies in MATLAB show that the proposed power distribution strategy greatly improves the durability of the vehicle and has good adaptability under urban conditions. This distribution method can provide support for the actual application of offline control strategies.
