Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Characterization and Analysis of Battery SoC for Different Drive Cycle

This research paper explores the in-depth characterization of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and performs an assessment of Battery State of Charge (SoC) under various drive cycles. As the automotive sector pivots toward sustainable mobility, FCEVs stand out as promising contenders with transformative potential for transportation. It is imperative to understand the dynamic behavior of these vehicles under diverse driving conditions to optimize their performance and enhance overall efficiency. Employing advanced instrumentation and innovative data collection methodologies, this study focuses on key parameters such as energy consumption, efficiency, and system dynamics to characterize FCEVs thoroughly. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of Battery SoC is undertaken across a spectrum of drive cycles to appraise the impression of varied operational conditions on battery performance and longevity. The results of this study offer valuable insights into the operational facets of FCEVs and offer a nuanced comprehension of the correlation between drive cycles and battery State of Charge (SoC). These perceptions are pivotal for refining vehicle design, optimizing energy management strategies, and developing efficient charging infrastructure. Ultimately, this research aims to propel the integration of FCEVs into mainstream transportation by addressing critical challenges associated with their performance, thereby contributing to ongoing discussions on sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
