This paper presents the impact of hybridization on the hydrogen consumption of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) by comparing the fuel cell/battery (FC/BATT) and fuel cell/battery/supercapacitor (FC/BATT/SC) configurations in terms of hydrogen consumption and overall fuel consumption. The frequency splitting operational state control strategy (FSOSCS) is used for the energy management of both the configurations. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment using standard ECE-15 driving cycle. The results indicate that there is significant reduction in hydrogen consumption for FC/BATT/SC in comparison to the FC/BATT configuration and also the overall fuel consumption is reduced for FC/BATT/SC configuration.
