Abstract

Due to their improved performance and advantages for the environment, fuel cell hybrid electric cars, or FCEVs, have garnered a lot of attention. Establishing an energy management strategy (EMS) for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is essential for optimizing power distribution among various energy sources. This method addresses concerns regarding hydrogen utilization and efficiency. The Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm is employed in the proposed energy management system to enhance the strategy of maximizing external energy, leading to decreased hydrogen consumption and increased system efficiency. The performance of the proposed EMS is evaluated using the Federal Test Procedure (FTP-75) to replicate city driving situations and is compared with existing algorithms through a comparison co-simulation. The co-simulation findings indicate that the suggested EMS surpasses current approaches in reducing fuel consumption, potentially decreasing it by 59.28%. The proposed energy management strategy demonstrates an 8.43% improvement in system efficiency. This enhancement may reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the adverse environmental effects associated with automobile emissions. To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed EMS, the system is tested within a Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) co-simulation environment using the C2000 launchxl-f28379d Digital Signal Processing (DSP) board.
