Abstract

This work focuses on an electrical vehicle powered by a FC/UC hybrid system and propelled by electric motor-wheel. The fuel cell (FC) is the main energy source. The ultracapacitor (UC) allows to fulfill the slowest dynamics of the FC during peak power demand and to recover the breaking energy. The different electrical parts of the electrical vehicle exchange energy with the DC link through DC/DC and DC/AC converters. The power train system contains two motor-wheels. The motorized wheel is a permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM) which is incorporated in the wheel. The vehicular system is developed and simulated by applying motor drive cycles.
