Simulation of Fuel Cell and PV Panel Fed Electric Hybrid Vehicle using a Bidirectional Converter

The upcoming technology in vehicle design when environmental concerns are a priority and electric powertrain is viable. The Electric Hybrid Vehicle (EHV) is Powered by a bidirectional converter and renewable energy resources such as fuel cells and PV cells. Environmentally friendly sources that use a bidirectional converter have improved efficiency and are posing a serious threat to fossil fuel cars. The energy produced by these ecologically responsible sources is stored and used for propulsion in an energy storage system (ESS). In this study, the energy dissipated during vehicle deceleration is used to recharge the battery by regenerative braking, i.e. the charge is stored in the battery via a bidirectional converter. The fuzzy logic MPPT technique is used to extract the maximum power from the solar systems under changeable weather conditions.
