Different control schemes of a Fuel-Cell Vehicle using supercapacitors

Energy Storage Subsystems (ESSs) are more and more used in Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) to face the problem of the lifetime and cost of the fuel cell. In this paper, a FVC using supercapacitors is considered. Two different control schemes are deduced from the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) of the system. Comparisons are provided for an urban drive cycle.
