VEHICLE EMBEDDED BY A FUEL CELL SYSTEM: A REVIEW

Abstract

Among the various existing fuel cell, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells now seem to be the best suited to serve as a basis for the motorization of electric vehicles. This is explained in particular by their low operating temperature (about 70 ° C) and the solid nature of the electrolyte involved. In an emerging context of the electromechanical system aspect involving the modeling and simulation of a set of components, the present work consists in developing a model of the system for modeling and optimization of an on-board vehicle by fuel cell system. In this model, we will model the different parts of the system; PEMFC fuel cell, super-capacitor, converters, and a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Validation by simulation is essential for its good analysis and comparison with experimental measurements. Finally, this work focuses on solving the problems of optimization to adapt it to the fuel cell system.
