AI-driven multi-objective optimization of FCHEV sizing and energy management

This is like having an extremely smart planning assistant for a fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV). It simultaneously decides how big each powertrain component should be (fuel cell, battery, etc.) and how the vehicle should use them in real driving, using AI and realistic traffic patterns, to get the best trade-off between cost, efficiency, performance, and durability.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Designing and calibrating fuel-cell hybrid electric powertrains is a complex, trial‑and‑error process with many conflicting goals: minimize fuel use and emissions, keep costs down, preserve battery and fuel-cell life, and still meet performance and drivability needs under real-world traffic. This work uses AI-based multi-objective optimization and traffic-aware simulations to automate that trade-off and produce better FCHEV designs and energy-management strategies faster and more reliably than manual calibration.

Value Drivers

Reduced R&D and calibration time for FCHEV powertrainsLower prototyping and test-bench costs via simulation-driven designImproved vehicle energy efficiency and range under realistic trafficExtended battery and fuel-cell life by explicitly modeling degradationBetter compliance with emissions/efficiency regulations through optimized operationMore robust designs that account for real traffic patterns rather than idealized cycles

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific models that couple FCHEV component degradation, vehicle longitudinal dynamics, and ML-based traffic conditions into a single multi-objective optimization framework; accumulated simulation data and engineering know-how for realistic traffic and powertrain behavior can become a proprietary asset that’s hard to replicate quickly.

Differentiation Factor

Unlike generic EV optimization, this approach jointly optimizes both FCHEV component sizing and real-time energy management while explicitly modeling component degradation and vehicle dynamics under machine-learning-based, realistic traffic conditions, enabling more realistic and durable designs than cycle-based or single-objective methods.
