Abstract: Providing clean energy, fuel cells are an ecologically beneficial alternative to fossil fuels that may be used in transportation. The battery serves as a form of energy storage, which enables the fuel cell power to be regulated and maintained at levels that are acceptable. With the introduction of a power management approach that is both innovative and optimal for hybrid electric energy supply systems, there is the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of renewable forms of energy. According to the results, there has been an improvement in the quality of the power that is generated, as well as an increase in the energy efficiency and the lifetime of fuel cells. Due to the fact that just six PEMFC functioning points were changed during the power supply method that lasted for 1,200 seconds and used the strategy that was indicated.

Keywords: renewable energies; hybrid systems; power management; fuel cell.
