based electric supply systems [4,8,11]. Under funding from Piaggio & C. S.p.A. they have developed a MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation package for PEM fuel-cell vehicles either with or without the presence of electro-chemical energy storage. The paper shows a comparison of two-wheel vehicles equipped with electric drive-trains in which the electricity generators are composed by: 1. PEFC system 2. PEFC system plus electrochemical storage constituted by a super-capacitor 3. PEFC system plus electrochemical storage constituted by a high power Ni-MH battery The comparison is performed based on realistic vehicle and cycle data, coming from Piaggio’s experience. Since the second and third topologies are hybrids (different independent sources can generate the power needed for propulsion), for them suitable control strategies defined prior to perform actual performance compari-son.
