Development of a Forward-Looking Fuel Cell Vehicle Simulation

摘要

A fuel cell vehicle simulation tool (FC-VESIM) has been developed at the Automotive Research Center (ARC) of the University of Michigan to study the different aspects of the newly developing fuel cell technology in automotive applications. In this paper, the integration of a feed-forward fuel cell vehicle system into SIMULINK is described, together with basic features of fuel cells and the subsystem modules. The 0 to 60 mph acceleration performance and fuel economy results over the urban driving cycle are also presented.
