Abstract

Due to increasing energy crisis and environmental problems because of air pollution, fuel cell hybrid vehicles are considered as an alternative for internal combustion (IC) vehicles. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are the most proper kind of fuel cells for portable usage due to high power density and low performance temperature. In this paper, power train system of a real car, SAMAND SOREN, is modeled and simulated using a dynamic model in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Five important subsystems in the model are: cathode air supply system, anode fuel supply system, electric motor, battery, and power transmission system. Finally, parameters like power and voltage produced by fuel cell, electric motor torque and vehicle speed are demonstrated as results.

Key findings

  • The proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are suitable for portable usage due to high power density and low performance temperature.
  • The power train system consists of five important subsystems: cathode air supply system, anode fuel supply system, electric motor, battery, and power transmission system.
  • The simulation results demonstrate parameters like power and voltage produced by fuel cell, electric motor torque, and vehicle speed.
