When evaluating whether and what type of storage system they should install, many customers only look at the initial cost of the system — the first cost or cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Such thinking fails to account for other factors that impact overall system cost, known as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), which factors in the …
In this paper, a new online bi-level strategy of energy management for a fuel cell electric vehicle is proposed. The proposed EMS could reduce equivalent fuel consumption, reduce power fluctuations of PEMFC output power, and increase the total energy efficiency of energy storage systems.
