This paper focuses on the energy management of
fuel cell/ultracapacitor/battery hybrid vehicles. A robust rulebased
strategy is proposed to effectively reduce hydrogen consumption,
increase vehicle lifetime, and handle multiple constraints.
This strategy won the IEEE VTS Motor Vehicles
Challenge 2020. The formulation of the control rules is heavily
based on the vehicle model and the analysis of the assigned cost
function. A stochastic generation of driving scenarios is proposed
to deal with the limited information provided by the challenge,
guarantying a robust design of the energy management strategy.
The results are analyzed on a large set of synthetic driving cycles.
