Abstract: | The need for the unmanned ground combat vehicle (UGCV), which is used for the surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting during
extremely dangerous condition on the battlefield, has steadily increased, and the transition from manned ground combat vehicles
to unmanned ground combat vehicles is expected to reduce the loss of lives during battle. The UGCV needs many types of capabilities
to achieve satisfactory performance. This paper focuses on the modeling and control of the power system of the UGCV, and proposes
the fuel cell hybrid system (FCHS) for the power system of the UGCV. The fuel cell hybrid system has many advantages in stealth
drive and the system efficiency. In addition, the FCHS is much quieter than the engine generator and generates much less heat.
The benefits of the FCHS are advantageous for use in Army operations, which require ‘silent watch’ capability and the ability
to operate without showing up on an enemy’s radar screen. The FCHS has a fuel cell and uses an energy storage system (ESS)
as a power source. The ESS (e.g., batteries or ultracapacitors) helps the fuel cell supply power to the electric drive system
and also recovers energy during deceleration. The ESS makes it possible to improve the efficiency and dynamic characteristic
of the power system. In this paper, the FCHS is composed of different combinations of component models. The component sizes
are chosen to satisfy performance requirements. In order to determine the power distribution between the fuel cell and the
ESS, a power management strategy based on the required power and the SOC (state of charge) of the ESS is proposed. Batteries
and ultracapacitor, components of the ESS, have different characteristics. Accordingly, varying the combination of ESS components
can change the performance of the power system. The performance of the FCHS with respect to different combinations of ESS
is analyzed using simulated results. |
