An experimental and analytical comparison study of power management methodologies of fuel cell-battery hybrid vehicles

▶ Design of power management strategies in hybrid fuel cell-battery vehicles impacts battery life. ▶ An instantaneous optimization approach can be used to design the power management strategy. ▶ The number of partial state of charge battery cycles can be used as a performance measure. ▶ A Hardware-in-the-loop experiment can be used to evaluate the robustness of the control method.
