Abstract: To analyze the impact of the power system parameter matching design and energy management scheme on the vehicle performance, taking a fuel cell vehicle as research object, the parameters of main power system components were matched. The power-following energy management strategy and the fuzzy control-based energy management strategy were proposed to improve the economic performance of the vehicle, and the sliding average filtering algorithm was used to optimize the output of the fuzzy control strategy. To model the vehicle and energy management system, the joint simulation platform was established based on AVL-Cruise and Simulink to verify the power performance of the vehicle, and the economic performance of the vehicle under three control strategies was comparatively analyzed. The results show that the fuel cell output power curve of the optimized energy management strategy is smoother and is always within the high-efficiency output interval. Based on the principle of fuel cell priority protection, the optimized energy management strategy has the best performance.
