System-level modeling and control strategy development for a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV) are presented in this paper. A reduced-order fuel cell model is created to accurately predict the fuel cell system efficiency while retaining dynamic effects of important variables. The fuel cell system model is then integrated with a DC/DC converter, a Li-ion battery, an electric drive, and tire/vehicle dynamics to form an FCHV. In order to optimize the power management strategy of the FCHV, we develop a stochastic design approach based on the Markov chain modeling and stochastic dynamic programming (SDP). The driver demand is modeled as a Markov process to represent the future uncertainty under diverse driving conditions. The infinite-horizon SDP solution generates a stationary state-feedback control policy to achieve optimal power management between the fuel cell system and battery. Simulation results over different driving cycles are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stochastic approach.

Although the hybrid power system that combines a photovoltaic cell and a lithium-ion battery is increasingly mature and practical, long-lifetime auxiliary power will be still needed in severe weather conditions. A small-volume hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell system based on the hydrolysis of NaBH4 is designed. The fuel cell system contains a tiny hydrogen generator, a hydrogen cleaner, and a small fuel cell stack consisting of three units in series. The relationship between the amount of catalyst and output performance is discussed. The long-time discharging results indicate that the fuel cell system has high power capacity. The compact design allows the fuel cell system to integrate the structure with a photovoltaic cell and lithium-ion cell and forms a hybrid power system with a small package. The power management circuit for these power sources without logic devices is designed and tested. The control strategy selects the photovoltaic–battery subsystem as the primary power source, and the fuel cell subsystem works as the backup power source to handle the circumstance when the energy stored in the battery is exhausted. The test results show that the power management system could switch the power supply automatically and timely under various emergency conditions, and the output voltage remains stable all the time.
