In order to extend fuel cell lifespan and improve fuel economy of electrical hybrid vehicle with fuel cell/battery/ultracapacitor (FCHEV), a frequency decoupling-based energy management strategy (EMS) for FCHEV using fuzzy control method is proposed. In detail, firstly, according to different characteristics of energy sources, required power of FCHEV is decomposed into three frequency ranges based on Harr wavelet transform and an adaptive-fuzzy filter. Secondly, based on the proposed frequency decoupling, the obtained three frequency required power is supplied by fuel cell-battery and ultracapacitor, respectively, which can guarantee power performance of vehicle and reduce pressure and power fluctuation on fuel cell and battery. Thirdly, for improving fuel economy, one fuzzy controller is proposed to split the power between fuel cell and battery. Finally, the proposed strategy in this paper is verified by advisor-simulink and experimental bench. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed EMS can effectively reduce impact of power fluctuations on fuel cell, extend its lifespan and reduce fuel consumption on 7.94% compared to equivalent consumption minimization strategy.INDEX TERMS Fuel cell electric vehicle, energy management strategy, fuzzy control, frequency decoupling, fuel economy.
