In order to increase efficiency of the fuel cell vehicle, it can be hybridized by using batteries or ultra-capacitors. A fuel cell vehicle model is developed and validated by comparing the simulation results with real vehicle operating results from the Hyundai Tucson fuel cell hybrid vehicle. And various types of hybridization structure are compared by simulation and the effect of component sizing is also studied. In the vehicle model, the component and controller models were developed to have modularity and integrated to have forward facing characteristics. Thus, the hybrid controller is designed and optimized by using the simulation. This paper also presents the fuel economy of the developed fuel cell hybrid vehicle when it is operated on the chassis dynamometer.

This paper describes a vehicle simulation toolbox developed under Matlab® environment, which can be used to estimate the range of a vehicle battery, or a fuel cell/battery hybrid system. The model is function of mechanical and physical variables that depend not only on the vehicle but also on the ground. This toolbox can be extended to GPS tracking files by means of reading data file plug-ins. Even standard drive cycles can be simulated. Battery and hydrogen consumption, hydrogen storage tank level, battery state of charge, power consumption and fuel cell energy production, maximum range and maximum number of cycles for a real route can be determined. The model facilitates the prediction of the vehicle range and the hydrogen and energy consumption. Real route simulation gives a good approximation of the vehicle speed close to real-life services instead of using driving cycles that are quite arbitrary approximations to a real route.

This paper presents an improved and easy-to-use battery dynamic Hybrid-Electric Vehicle model. The fuel cell electrical subsystem and the energy management subsystem of the HEV are validated experimentally. An interesting feature of this model is the simplicity to extract the dynamic model parameters from FCV (fuel cell vehicle). Finally, the HEV model is simulated in the matlab simulation software .The results show that the model can accurately re-present the dynamic behavior of the HEV.
