Abstract


Fuel Cells (FC) are the greatest option for combining Electric Vehicles (EV) technology to improve performance because EVs have been experiencing a number of power quality concerns. The goal is to develop and optimize a FC system for an EV's Brushless DC (BLDC) motor in this research. This study focuses on Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), which combine FC technology and Energy Management Systems (EMS) in the best possible way to meet the electric motors' dynamic power demands. Nevertheless, the FC system produces less power, which is insufficient to power the EV. Therefore, a high gain Landsman converter is exploited in the research to enhance the FC’s voltage. To deliver a controlled DC output voltage, a Proportional Integral (PI) controller is exploited and its parameters are optimized via Siberian Tiger Optimization (STO) algorithm. The extra power produced by the FCs is stored in a battery EMS, which is attached to the DC link via a battery converter. Bidirectional DC-DC (BDC) converter is exploited to interface different types of storage devices, includes batteries that supply electricity during periods of high demand. A PI controller manages the brushless DC motor’s speed. Finally, the supply is given to the three phase  BLDC motor of EV through  Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). To demonstrate the efficiency of proposed work, its performance is assessed utilizing MATLAB/Simulink. The obtained findings show that, the converter has the efficiency of 93.75% and THD of 1.11%, indicating that the FC powered PI controlled BLDC motor performs well for a range of speed and torque values.
