“…The replacement cost for the two sources was modelled using interest rates and the future values of BUs and UCs. Similarly, optimal sizing has been applied to FC-BU HEVs [110] to reduce the BU decay. The optimal power flow strategy was applied here using the PMP to minimize fuel consumption, and PSO was employed to find the optimal FC and BU source rating.…”

The automobile industry is regarded as one of the primary producers of greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, one major approach for promoting global sustainability is vehicle electrification. Energy source hybridization is imperative in vehicle electrification because no alternative clean energy source can match the performance of vehicles with internal combustion engines. For a compact energy source system with minimal source degradation and low operational costs, it is crucial to determine the optimal sizing of multiple sources in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The objective of this article is to conduct a thorough assessment of the optimal energy source sizing methodology for HEV alongside an analysis of energy management systems. The importance of dynamic energy source characteristics in the optimal source design is explained and the dynamic modelling of these sources is investigated in detail. Moreover, this paper discusses the dynamic source degradation models used in the literature. This analysis on HEV component sizing provides a comprehensive picture of the current state-of-the-art and highlights several shortcomings, difficulties, and knowledge gaps. The findings indicate that the establishment of an energy management system and energy source sizing are interdependent activities that can prolong the usable life of the energy sources and reduce energy consumption. The aging, temperature, depth of discharge, and charging state are found to be essential characteristics of vehicle energy sources, yet these dynamic aspects have largely been neglected in previous papers. Additionally, if the source deterioration and associated factors are considered throughout the design phase, the HEV system can be built with long-life characteristics. The assessment conclusions highlight the significance of continued analysis to overcome obstacles and improve the hybrid automobile sector.

“…Using the mono-objective methodology presented in previous work [28], a multiobjective approach that considers different performance indexes (energy-consuming, reliability, volume) was developed. This approach aims to propose to design engineers a decision support tool to simultaneously consider many objectives and study the trade-offs between them.…”

“…Motivated by the gap in the literature and to increase the relevance of our nested design approach, a reliability assessment process only for the battery has been introduced, showing the impact of the reliability consideration on design choices regarding the energetic performance index [28]. In previous work, the reliability impact was considered in the post-processing step to sort all the proposed solutions of the optimization regarding the battery reliability.…”

This paper presents the development of a global and integrated sizing approach under different performance indexes applied to fuel cell/battery hybrid power systems. The strong coupling between the hardware sizing process and the system supervision (energy management strategy EMS) makes it hard for the design to consider all the possibilities, and today’s methodologies are mostly experience-based approaches that are impervious to technological disruption. With a smart design approach, new technologies are easier to consider, and this approach facilitates the use of new technologies for transport applications with a decision help tool. An automotive application with a hybrid fuel cell (PEMFC)/battery (Li-Ion) is considered to develop this approach. The proposed approach is based on imbricated optimization loops and considers multiple criteria such as the fuel consumption, reliability, and volume of the architecture, in keeping with industry expectations to allow a good trade-off between different performance indexes and explore their design options. This constitutes a low computational time and a very effective support tool that allows limited overconsumption and lifetime reduction for designed architecture in extreme and non-optimal use. We obtain, thanks to this work, a pre-design tool that helps to realize the first conception choice.

“…Consequently, mild-hybrid and particularly range extender architectures enable to decouple the instantaneous net demand from the peak-to-peak power. They allow better overall efficiency than a full hybrid architecture using a low energy battery [63][64][65], which explains the technological choice of the Renault group. Additionally, even in the case of a full power hybrid architecture, a high rated FCS efficiency may not be the best trade-off for automotive sector.…”

Driven by a small number of niche markets and several decades of application research, fuel cell systems (FCS) are gradually reaching maturity, to the point where many players are questioning the interest and intensity of its deployment in the transport sector in general. This article aims to shed light on this debate from the road transport perspective. It focuses on the description of the fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in order to understand its assets, limitations and current paths of progress. These vehicles are basically hybrid systems combining a fuel cell and a lithium-ion battery, and different architectures are emerging among manufacturers, who adopt very different levels of hybridization. The main opportunity of Fuel Cell Vehicles is clearly their design versatility based on the decoupling of the choice of the number of Fuel Cell modules and hydrogen tanks. This enables manufacturers to meet various specifications using standard products. Upcoming developments will be in line with the crucial advantage of Fuel Cell Vehicles: intensive use in terms of driving range and load capacity. Over the next few decades, long-distance heavy-duty vehicles and fleets of taxis or delivery vehicles will develop based on range extender or mild hybrid architectures and enable the hydrogen sector to mature the technology from niche markets to a large-scale market.
