The studies on energy management and optimization are still at an early stage. The energy management of a fuel cell (FC) hybrid vehicle supported with a storing device such as batteries or supercapacitors, is a challenge. Indeed, regardless of the followed route, the available power must be distributed among the various components, in order to minimize hydrogen consumption and increase their life expectancy. This article present a real-time energy management strategy for a fuel cell vehicle equipped with a battery. It is based on the rule-based method combined with the equivalent consumption minimization strategy ECMS . This strategy is developed and simulated by using a dynamic model of the vehicle developed in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Eventually, simulation results are provided to validate the strategy under various vehicle masses.
