Abstract

This paper presents a Hamiltonian control law to enhance the stability and performance of a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) composed of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, lithium-ion battery, and supercapacitor. The control design is based on port-Hamiltonian system theory, enabling dynamic energy management among sources while maintaining global system stability. A nonlinear control law is developed using damping-injection techniques to regulate the DC bus voltage, ensure optimal power sharing, and respect power and energy constraints of each component. The strategy allocates fast dynamics to the supercapacitor, medium response to the battery, and slow dynamics to the fuel cell, achieving efficient energy coordination. Experimental validation is performed using a dSPACE controlled test bench with real-time monitoring. Results confirm that the proposed method ensures fast transient response, smooth voltage regulation, and robust operation under sudden load variations.
