Tóm tắt

Customer demands for greater acceleration, performance, and vehicle range in pure EVs plus mandated requirements to further reduce emissions in HEVs increase the appeal for combined on-board energy storage systems and generators. This paper deals with a multiple input DC-DC power converter devoted to combine the power flow of multi-source on-board energy systems. The proposed energy storage arrangement includes fuel cell generator, ultracapacitor tank, and battery system. Possibility of optimization of the output capacitors bank in relation to the RMS value of the current ripple is investigated.
