Özet

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are emerging as versatile mobile power sources for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging applications. However, ensuring safe energy transfer to different battery configurations (400 V/800 V), while protecting the FCEV stack from harmful load transients, constitutes a critical challenge. In the present study, a portable, galvanically isolated dual-output LLC converter designed to enable secure FCEV-to-EV charging is proposed. System performance has been analyzed via high-fidelity co-simulation using MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS. A constant current–constant voltage (CC–CV) charging strategy has been implemented to strictly manage the battery charging profile. The findings indicate that the system achieves an efficiency level exceeding 95.0% while constraining the fuel cell input power to a stable range peaking at 12 kW. This effectively shields the stack from dynamic fluctuations, confirming that the proposed architecture provides a stable and efficient V2V solution that preserves fuel cell integrity during portable energy transfer applications.
