Fuel Cell Virtual Vehicle Models for Fuel Economy, Performance, and Thermal Analysis

Learn about recent advances in modeling fuel cell systems for automotive applications. See how Simscape™, Powertrain Blockset™, and other MathWorks products are integrated to assemble a complex, multi-domain fuel cell virtual vehicle model that includes:

• A polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack with fundamental electrochemical reactions, H2 and air handling systems, and a thermal management system
• An electric powertrain system with a battery, DC/DC converter, and power distribution unit (PDU)
• Supervisory controllers
• Multiple drive-cycle scenarios

Explore how to use this model for fuel-economy study, controller design, thermal analysis, and component selection.
