[0077] The goal of the energy management strategy is to reasonably allocate the instantaneous output power of each power source in the hybrid system to ensure that the vehicle can meet the immediate power demand during driving. This strategy not only needs to balance the energy output between the power sources, but also needs to consider the overall efficiency of the system and the long-term energy utilization optimization.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fuel cell hybrid power system component cost function established in step 3 specifically adopts the following form:

Indicates the rated power of the fuel cell; Cost fc Cost of fuel cell batt Cost of power battery fc-rep and Cost batt-rep They are the replacement costs of fuel cells and power batteries. Since fuel cells and power batteries may need to be replaced during the life cycle of the vehicle, this part of the cost is also an important part of the economic evaluation of the entire system. The replacement cost depends on the service life of the components, the speed of technological updates, and market price fluctuations. The cost of each part is determined by the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] Where, f(X) is the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions;

[0088] a1=-2.83×10 4 ,a2=1.57×10 4 , a3=3287, a4=-77.86, a5=37.87, a6=-15.24 are all fitting parameters. The fitting curve is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step 3, the multi-objective constrained optimization problem is established. First, the component cost function g(X) and the equivalent carbon dioxide emission f(X) are normalized to the interval [0,1] to obtain and Finally, we get the following multi-objective constrained optimization problem:

[0090]

[0091] in, represents the average required power; m1 and m2 represent the coefficients for weighing different optimization indicators.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when executing the multi-group gray wolf algorithm in step 4, the following aspects are considered to enhance the global search capability and local optimization capability compared with the traditional gray wolf algorithm:

[0093] (1) Increase population diversity

[0094] In order to overcome the problem that the basic gray wolf optimization algorithm is prone to fall into the local optimal solution during the search process and further enhance the diversity of the population, the present invention improves the algorithm. Specifically, in the initialization stage of the algorithm, the gray wolf population is divided into l sub-populations. This division helps to form multiple different search paths in the search space, thereby increasing the possibility of the algorithm jumping out of the local optimum. Each sub-population still adjusts its position according to the prey search process of the basic gray wolf algorithm, that is, by simulating hunting behavior, the position of each gray wolf is continuously updated. However, after each round of position update, the sub-populations need to share their search results. This sharing mechanism can enable all sub-populations to use the search information of other sub-populations, thereby enhancing the synergy and information exchange of the global search. After all sub-populations complete the position update and share the results, a wolf with the best fitness is selected from the leading wolves of each sub-population. This wolf will be set as the wolf king of the entire population. As the most advantageous individual in the population, the position of the wolf king represents the optimal solution found by the current algorithm. Therefore, the wolf king state is specifically represented by the following formula:

[0095] K α =min(α1,α2,…,α l )

[0096] Among them, K α Indicates the wolf king; α j (j=1,…,l) represents the wolf with the best fitness in the jth subpopulation; l∈(1,s) represents the division of the entire gray wolf population into l subpopulations, which is a positive integer, and s represents the number of gray wolf individuals in the entire population;

[0097] (2) Wolf King Reverse Guidance

[0098] In order to improve the convergence speed of the basic gray wolf algorithm, the present invention adjusts the gray wolf with the lowest fitness in each subpopulation and introduces the reverse guidance strategy of the wolf king. This strategy is inspired by the particle swarm optimization algorithm, in which the movement of particles is not only affected by their own historical best position, but also guided by the global best position. Specifically, in the multi-population gray wolf algorithm, the wolf king is defined as the global optimal solution of the entire population, that is, the optimal position found by the current algorithm. The optimal gray wolf in each subpopulation represents the local optimal solution, reflecting the best performance of the subpopulation in its search area. In order to prevent the subpopulation from falling into the local optimal solution and improve the overall optimization effect, the present invention pays special attention to the gray wolf with the lowest fitness in each subpopulation, and updates its position through the reverse guidance strategy of the wolf king. The specific update rule is to use the position of the wolf king as a benchmark, and reversely adjust the positions of these gray wolves to make them closer to the global optimal solution. The position of the gray wolf is updated using the following wolf king reverse guidance rules:

[0099]

[0100] in, is the speed of the gray wolf with the lowest fitness in the jth population, which determines the direction and amplitude of the gray wolf's movement in the search space. represents the specific position of the gray wolf in the current search iteration; w is the learning coefficient, which is used to adjust the gray wolf's reliance on past experience when updating its position; c1 and c2 are two acceleration coefficients, which are used to control the speed at which the gray wolf moves to the target position; r1 and r2 are two random numbers, which take values ​​in the range [0,1];

[0101] (3) Random recombination threshold

[0102] In order to effectively prevent the basic grey wolf algorithm from falling into the local optimum, the present invention introduces a random recombination threshold as a strategy, and sets the following random recombination threshold to trigger the random recombination of the sub-population with the lowest fitness:

[0103] Q=λE

[0104] Among them, Q represents the random recombination threshold, which is used to determine when to trigger the random recombination operation; λ∈(0,1) represents the learning parameter, which is used to control the learning intensity of historical information in the algorithm; E is the total number of iterations. In each iteration, the fitness value of the wolf king selected in the current iteration is monitored. A marker variable q is set to record the change of the fitness value. If it is detected that the fitness value of the wolf king in the current iteration has changed compared with the previous iteration, the marker variable will be reset. This indicates that the current iteration has made progress and the position of the wolf king has improved during the optimization process. If the fitness value of the wolf king has not changed in a certain iteration, it means that the current optimization progress has stagnated. At this time, the marker variable q is increased and checked whether it exceeds the random recombination threshold Q. When the marker variable exceeds the threshold, that is, q>Q, it means that the optimization progress in the current iteration cycle is insufficient and may be trapped in the local optimum. At this time, the sub-population with the lowest fitness will be randomly reorganized, that is, the position of some gray wolves in these sub-populations will be reinitialized or their speed will be adjusted. This operation is intended to introduce new search paths to help the algorithm jump out of the local optimal solution and enhance the global search capability.

[0105] The above three performance enhancement methods effectively improve the global search ability and local optimization ability of the basic gray wolf optimization algorithm. Specifically, these methods optimize the performance of the algorithm in complex search space by introducing strategies such as multi-population mechanism, wolf king's reverse guidance and random recombination threshold, helping the algorithm to better explore the global optimal solution and avoid falling into the local optimal solution. The detailed flow chart of the designed multi-population gray wolf algorithm is shown in the figure. Figure 2 shown.

[0106] The instantaneous power demand of a vehicle fluctuates with the speed. This fluctuation is particularly significant in urban driving conditions, mainly in low-speed driving, frequent start-stop operations, and various acceleration scenarios. In order to accurately simulate this complex driving environment, the example of the present invention uses the SC03 cycle in the simulation, which includes low-speed driving, frequent start-stop operations, and various acceleration and deceleration scenarios commonly seen in actual driving. These factors all affect the power demand of the vehicle. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the characteristics of the SC03 cycle can provide real power demand fluctuations. In this simulation framework, the goal of the present invention is to use the developed multi-population gray wolf optimization algorithm to solve the multi-objective constrained optimization problem. Through this optimization algorithm, the optimal size configuration of each component in the hybrid system can be systematically analyzed and determined, including the optimal rated power of the fuel cell and the optimal rated capacity of the power battery.

[0107] Figure 4(a) is a diagram showing the evolution of the optimal component size of the hybrid system, which reflects how the component size gradually approaches the optimal value as the algorithm iterates during the optimization process. The figure details the changing trends of the component sizes at different iteration stages, providing an intuitive understanding of the optimization process. Figure 4 (b) shows the evolution curve of the fitness function, which shows how the fitness value changes with the number of iterations. By observing the changes in the fitness function, the convergence speed and effect of the algorithm can be evaluated. The optimal component size is finally determined to be In this configuration, the component cost of the hybrid system is $43,556; the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions over the entire life cycle are 624,460 kg. Under the selected component size, the system's economy and environmental performance are optimally balanced.

[0108] Figure 5 The upper part shows the power distribution curve determined by the energy management strategy under optimal component sizing. This curve depicts how the system distributes power to meet the dynamic needs of the vehicle under different driving conditions. Figure 5 The lower part shows the change curve of the power battery SOC, showing the change of SOC during the entire driving cycle. Figure 5 It can be seen that the configuration of the fuel cell and the power battery can effectively meet the power demand of the vehicle during driving, and the SOC is always maintained within the predetermined range, which shows that the system performs well in terms of energy management and utilization efficiency.

[0109] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the embodiment of the present invention does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0110] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
