Abstract:  This tutorial delves into the critical role of online identification in enhancing the energy management of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs). As FCHEVs become more prevalent, optimizing their performance through advanced energy management strategies is paramount. The tutorial will explore why online identification is indispensable for accurately managing the power between electrochemical sources—like fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries—to minimize hydrogen consumption and extend system lifespan. It will cover modeling techniques for electrochemical power sources, review parameter and state estimation methods, and discuss the integration of these estimations into energy management strategy design. Attendees will gain insights into practical examples of online parameter estimation and the design of health-aware energy management strategies. This session is designed to equip participants with the knowledge to contribute to the development of more efficient and durable FCHEVs.

Mohsen Kandidayeni

Bio: Mohsen Kandidayeni (Member, IEEE) was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1989. He earned his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and his Master’s degree in mechatronics from Arak University, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières (UQTR), Canada, in 2020. He then served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Electric Transport, Energy Storage, and Conversion Lab (e-TESC) at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, from May 2020 until the end of 2023. Currently, he is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UQTR.

Dr. Kandidayeni has received several prestigious awards, including the Best Thesis Award from UQTR in 2020 for Natural Sciences and Engineering, the FRQNT postdoctoral research scholarship (B3X, 284914) from 2020 to 2023, the FRQNT doctoral research scholarship (B2X, 259542) from 2018 to 2020, the IEEE TEC 2021 award (3-minute doctoral thesis challenge), and the third prize in the Energy Challenge at the 4th Québec Mines+Énergie (November 2019).
He has been actively engaged in research, authoring, co-authoring, and reviewing numerous articles for prestigious scientific journals, and participating in various international conferences. His scholarly work has resulted in approximately 65 journal and conference publications. His research interests include energy-related topics such as hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell systems, energy management, multiphysics systems, modeling, and control.”

 

Loic Boulon
