Abstract
THE RELEVANCE of the study lies in modeling and studying the operation of energy management systems based on rule-based strategies as applied to a hybrid electric powertrain with a battery and a fuel cell stack. THE PURPOSE of the work: to consider the problems of increasing energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness and durability of power sources in a hybrid electric powertrain using energy control strategies, to design a simulation model of a hybrid system with two energy sources, to develop the model controlled by four rule-based strategies. RESULTS. During researching the problems, models and algorithms were developed in the MatLab software. The article describes the relevance of the research, considers energy management control strategies and features of their operation. Simulation of the hybrid powertrain with different control strategies was described, the possibility of ensuring the operation of the powertrain with a given load cycle with the required conditions was considered. The results of the simulation of the operation are presented in the form of overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the hybrid powertrain with different control strategies. CONCLUSION. All the studied strategies ensure the operation of the powertrain in the entire load range with high efficiency. The most effective strategy is the state machine control strategy, it implements maximum efficiency on the presented load cycle. The most cost-effectiveness strategy, in which the consumption of hydrogen and air is minimal, is the strategy based on fuzzy logic algorithms.
