This paper introduces a game theory approach to implement power flow distribution mission for a fuel cell/battery hybrid system considering uncertain power information. To fully describe the vying interaction relationship between the fuel cell and the battery, we design the power distribution problem as a noncooperative game problem, in which the fuel cell and the battery are deemed to be two interactional players, and each one chooses proper amount of power supply to maximize its own optimization function relying on the other chosen. Different from all previous research work in the published papers, the power demand information of the adopted driving cycle is assumed to be absolutely known. In this paper, we discuss the case that when the power demand is uncertain how the players act and the Nash Equilibrium can be effectively achieved. Three original contributions are made. First, we develop the utility function for each player taking into account the uncertain behavior of the power demand due to inaccurate prediction of driving cycle. Second, an iterative algorithm with a fuzzy logical controller for correction is proposed to reduce the influence of uncertain power demand information on the decisions of the players. Finally, the effectiveness is validated by a comparison simulation test.

Electric forklifts, dominantly powered by lead acid batteries, are widely used for material handling in factories, warehouses, and docks. The long charging time and short working time characteristics of the lead acid battery module results in the necessity of several battery modules to support one forklift. Compared with the cost and time consuming lead acid battery charging system, a fuel cell/battery hybrid power module could be more convenient for a forklift with fast hydrogen refueling and long working time. In this paper, based on the characteristics of a fuel cell and a battery, a prototype hybrid forklift with a fuel cell/battery hybrid power system is constructed, and its hardware and software are designed in detail. According to the power demand of driver cycles and the state of charge (SOC) of battery, an energy management strategy based on load current following for the hybrid forklift is proposed to improve system energy efficiency and dynamic response performance. The proposed energy management strategy will fulfill the power requirements under typical driving cycles, achieve reasonable power distribution between the fuel cell and battery and, thus, prolong its continuous working time. The proposed energy management strategy is implemented in the hybrid forklift prototype and its effectiveness is tested under different operating conditions. The results show that the forklift with the proposed hybrid powered strategy has good performance with different loads, both lifting and moving, in a smooth and steady way, and the output of the fuel cell meets the requirements of its output characteristics, its SOC of battery remaining at a reasonable level.

By replacing conventional supplies such as fossil fuels or internal combustion engines (ICEs), this paper presents a new configuration of hybrid power sources (HPS) based on the integration of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with batteries (BATs) and supercapacitors (SCs) for hydraulic excavators (HEs). In contrast to conventional architectures, the PEMFC in this study functions as the main power supply, whereas the integrated BAT–SC is considered as an auxiliary buffer. Regarding shortcomings existing in the previous approaches, an innovative energy management strategy (EMS) was designed using a new mapping fuzzy logic control (MFLC) for appropriate power distribution. Comparisons between the proposed strategy with available approaches are conducted to satisfy several driving cycles with different load demands and verify the strategy’s effectiveness. Based on the simulation results, the efficiency of the PEMFC when using the MFLS algorithm increased up to 47% in comparison with the conventional proposed EMS and other approaches. With the proposed strategy, the HPS can be guaranteed to not only sufficiently support power to the system even when the endurance process or high peak power is required, but also extend the lifespan of the devices and achieves high efficiency.

Environmentally friendly and pollution-free fuel cell/lithium battery hybrid vehicles have received the attention of the community in recent years. It is imperative for fuel cell/lithium battery hybrid vehicles to use the energy management strategy (EMS) to distribute the output power of each power source to improve fuel economy and system life. In practical application, inconsistency of battery pack will lead to security hazard and capacity degradation. However, few EMS take the inconsistency of battery pack into account. Also, the current battery equalization strategy rarely discusses how to perform the equilibrium process while meeting the power demand of vehicle. To solve these issues, a novel equalization energy management strategy (EEMS) based on the switch network is proposed at first. Then, a switched energy management strategy (SEMS) that switches between the EEMS and the equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) is proposed and implemented in the fuel cell/lithium battery hybrid system to validate its effectiveness. The results show that the proposed SEMS can ameliorate the inconsistency of series lithium battery pack while meeting the power demand of vehicle’s normal operation. It can improve the safety and durability of the system and reduce the equalization time. Besides, it has good expansibility and no energy waste.

AbstractThis paper proposes an energy management strategy for a fuel cell (FC) hybrid power system based on dynamic programming and state machine strategy, which takes into account the durability of the FC and the hydrogen consumption of the system. The strategy first uses the principle of dynamic programming to solve the optimal power distribution between the FC and supercapacitor (SC), and then uses the optimization results of dynamic programming to update the threshold values in each state of the finite state machine to realize real-time management of the output power of the FC and SC. An FC/SC hybrid tramway simulation platform is established based on RT-LAB real-time simulator. The compared results verify that the proposed EMS can improve the durability of the FC, increase its working time in the high-efficiency range, effectively reduce the hydrogen consumption, and keep the state of charge in an ideal range.

This chapter presents a mechanism for cooperative video transmission based on game theory for heterogeneous devices during broadcasting. Broadcasting is a multipoint delivery of transmission that sends data from a source to multiple destinations. The terminal is involved in cooperative transmission when the station broadcasts video data. To enhance performance, the heterogeneity and forwarding capabilities should be considered. This work studies power control and allocation in a collaborative transmission based on game theory, which provides an effective strategy when network resources are limited. First, a novel power-allocation model of the base station (BS) based on noncooperative game theory and bidding is presented in this study. Additionally, we also propose a utility function of Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) along with Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIRs). Subsequently, based on such noncooperative game theory with a utility function, the model of the power distribution of terminals in cooperative transmission can be built. Experiments on the System-in-the-Loop (SITL) mode in OPNETs have proven the correctness of the designed model and superiority, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed power-control idea.

Game theory approach is used in this study that involves two types of games which are noncooperative and cooperative. Noncooperative game is used to get the equilibrium solutions from each payoff matrix. From the solutions, the values then be used as characteristic functions of Shapley value solution concept in cooperative game. In this paper, the sectors are divided into three groups where each sector will have three different stocks for the game. This study used the companies that listed in Bursa Malaysia and the prices of each stock listed in this research obtained from Datastream. The rate of return of stocks are considered as an input to get the payoff from each stock and its coalition sectors. The value of game for each sector is obtained using Shapley value solution concepts formula to find the optimal increase of the returns. The Shapley optimal portfolio, naive diversification portfolio and market portfolio performances have been calculated by using Sharpe ratio. The Shapley optimal portfolio outperformed the naive diversification portfolio and market portfolio in 6 months before and after the GE14.

This book is aimed at students interested in using game theory as a design methodology for solving problems in engineering and computer science. The book shows that such design challenges can be analyzed through game theoretical perspectives that help to pinpoint each problem's essence: Who are the players? What are their goals? Will the solution to “the game” solve the original design problem? Using the fundamentals of game theory, the book explores these issues and more. The use of game theory in technology design is a recent development arising from the intrinsic limitations of classical optimization-based designs. In optimization, one attempts to find values for parameters that minimize suitably defined criteria—such as monetary cost, energy consumption, or heat generated. However, in most engineering applications, there is always some uncertainty as to how the selected parameters will affect the final objective. Through a sequential and easy-to-understand discussion, the book examines how to make sure that the selection leads to acceptable performance, even in the presence of uncertainty—the unforgiving variable that can wreck engineering designs. The book looks at such standard topics as zero-sum, non-zero-sum, and dynamic games and includes a MATLAB guide to coding. This book offers students a fresh way of approaching engineering and computer science applications.
