A new offline optimization approach for designing a fuel cell hybrid bus
Component design combined with EMS optimization proved to be effective. The battery is responsible for 70% of the optimized hybrid vehicle powertrain cost. The optimized bus has less 36% of energy consumption than the diesel ICEV bus. The alternative powertrain achieved 9 times more cost (62,230) than the diesel bus. The optimized powertrain can originate savings of around 0.370.43/km/bus.
