| Abstract | Simulation of drive systems incorporating fuel cells and batteries is prone to difficulties associated with the long load cycles and the nature of their operation. In this paper we present a practical experimental strategy for investigating the performance of a range of vehicle systems. Hardware is scaled using control methods and power electronics allowing various setups to be tested in real time while requiring minimal changes to the hardware. A fuel cell emulator based on a real 50 W fuel cell system is developed and results are given for a typical system. |
