Summary: Progress is being made in decarbonization of road transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their negative impacts. Hydrogen-electric hybridization appears to be a promising option for reducing emissions by providing vehicles with sufficient range and competitive performance. The development of efficient energy management systems is crucial in extending vehicle range. This study proposes two energy management systems for hydrogen hybrid vehicles, namely a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and a Range-Extended Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FC-EREV). These systems utilize single and multi-level approaches to distribute current demand between the fuel cell and battery based on the amount of hydrogen in the tank. The parameters of the energy management systems were optimized using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, resulting in up to 9% and 12% range improvements for the single and multi-level approaches, respectively, compared to previous works.
