A　charge　depleting　range　dynamic　strategy　considering　the　fuel-cell　degradation　is　proposed　for　the　plug-in　fuel　cell　hybrid　electric　vehicles　in　this　paper,　to　seek　the　excellent　economy　performance　with　various　driving　ranges.　The　proposed　strategy　is　developed　by　means　of　incorporating　an　adaptive　equivalent　factor　into　equivalent　consumption　minimization　strategy　with　power　feedback　control.　Firstly,　the　mathematical　modeling　of　the　proposed　strategy　is　formulated　to　adjust　the　equivalent　factor　corresponding　to　the　battery　state　of　charge,　which　may　vary　with　the　forthcoming　trip　distance　to　dominate　the　expected　energy　consumption.　The　fuel　cell　voltage　decay　rate　is　applied　to　the　feedback　control　of　the　restricted　fuel-cell　power,　which　is　designed　as　the　degradation　model　of　fuel　cell　and　integrated　with　the　strategy.　Secondly,　the　realization　process　of　the　charge　depleting　range　dynamic　strategy　with　restricted　power　feedback　control　model　is　a　new　attempt　to　design　the　real-time　control　method.　Finally,　the　proposed　strategy　is　validated　by　a　numerical　model　developed　by　using　the　MATLAB/Simulink　software　and　its　effectiveness　was　evaluated　by　comparing　it　with　the　equivalent　consumption　minimization　strategy.　A　sensitivity　analysis　is　also　conducted　to　study　the　effects　of　different　trip　distances.　The　effectiveness　of　power　feedback　control　in　fuel　cell　durability　is　validated　through　a　hardware-in-the-loop　experiment.　The　verified　results　demonstrate　the　influence　of　the　equivalent　factor　on　the　control　process,　which　makes　the　proposed　strategy　possible　to　provide　significant　improvement　in　the　economy　performance　and　fuel-cell　durability.　(C)　2019　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
