Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fuel cell electric vehicle energy management, and particularly relates to a fuel cell hybrid heavy truck layered energy management method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The power system of a fuel cell hybrid heavy truck is usually composed of a multi-stack fuel cell system and a power battery. The power distribution between the multi-stack fuel cell and the power battery and between each stack has an important influence on the vehicle economy and the service life of the energy source. A reasonable energy management strategy can greatly help improve the fuel economy of the vehicle and prolong the service life of the energy source.

[0003] Related fuel cell hybrid vehicle energy management strategies include centralized control and decentralized control. The centralized control is based on a central controller, which collects the demand power and the state information of each energy source, calculates the power and current instructions of each energy source, and issues the corresponding power or current instructions to the local controllers of each energy source. Since the centralized control involves centralized communication, communication delay problems inevitably exist in actual work, resulting in poor power distribution performance. In addition, the centralized processing of signals may affect the entire system in the event of a single point failure, so it is difficult to meet the requirements of high reliability and strong flexibility of the system. The decentralized control has its own independent local controller in each unit of the system. Each unit can operate independently and stably according to the local controller. However, the work of each energy source in the decentralized control architecture is independent, and there is a lack of information interaction, making it difficult to achieve optimal scheduling of the system.

[0004] In summary, the technical problems in the related art need to be improved. SUMMARY

[0125] The current at the output end of the converter is represented by the real-time power that each stack should output, and the virtual resistance value can be calculated by the following formula:

[0126]

[0127] The voltage stabilization and current shunt between the DC / DC converters are realized by adjusting the virtual droop resistance, so as to complete the power distribution of each stack.
