The work in this paper presents development of fuzzy logic-based energy management strategy for a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle. In order for the fuel cell system to overcome the inherent limitation such as slow response time and low fuel economy especially at the low power region, the battery system has come to compensate for the fuel cell system. This type of hybrid configuration has many advantages, however, the energy management strategy between power sources is essentially required. For the optimal power distribution between the fuel cell system and the battery system, a fuzzy logic-based energy management strategy is proposed. In order to show the validity and the robustness of suggested strategy, some simulations are performed for the standard drive cycles.
