Abstract

A dual inverter drivetrain having an energy storing fuel cell integrated into an electric vehicle is disclosed. A method of operating the dual inverter drivetrain using a power sharing control approach is described, which allows the key requirements of a fuel cell to be achieved without compromising the dynamic performance of the electric vehicle drive system. In particular, the ability of this control approach to ensure unidirectional power transfer from the fuel cell even in the event of regenerative braking, and a slowly changing fuel cell power despite fast motor torque transients were exhibited.
