Modeling Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle for Performance Prediction and Optimal Component Selection

Abstract

This study involves modeling and simulating a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) to predict whether it meets the target performance requirements. The FCEV model includes an electrified powertrain, composed of a hydrogen fuel cell, motor, battery, and controller, along with a chassis model. A test environment was also modeled to evaluate these components. Different combinations of chassis and motor candidates were examined to predict vehicle performance for each configuration and determine if the target requirements were met. The results of this study served as a reference for selecting optimal components during the development process.
