In this context, electric garbage trucks are becoming increasingly popular as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional trucks. In this study, an optimization-based energy management system focused on minimizing hydrogen consumption is proposed for a fuel cell and ultracapacitor hybrid electric garbage truck. The specified energy management system takes into account the ramping rate constraints for the healthy operation of the fuel cell while ensuring that each source's natural structure is appropriately utilized for load sharing. Furthermore, the impact of fuel cell and ultracapacitor sizing on the energy management system's decisions is examined through various case analyses, and the effects of such sizing on hydrogen consumption and regenerative braking energy recovery are elucidated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesselectric garbage truckenergy managementfuel celloptimizationsizingultracapacitorConference Object10.1109/ICSMARTGRID58556.2023.101708422-s2.0-85165993751WOS:001047481700021N/A
