Abstract: This paper describes modeling of a hybrid power system that supplies energy to an electric vehicle based on a hybrid system that uses a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell as a primary energy source and a battery pack as an ancillary energy storage system. A threshold approach has been employed for power control. When the power required by the vehicle exceeds a threshold, the battery works with the fuel cell to satisfy the dynamic response of vehicle. Otherwise the fuel cell works alone with regenerative braking enabling recharging of battery capacity. The proposed model has been simulated and tested using Matlab/Simulink software, which predicts that good battery SOC (state of charge) recovery and lower hydrogen consumption levels can be achieved when Federal Urban Driving Schedule
