Given the urgent challenges posed by global climate change and the ongoing energy crisis, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have emerged as a promising solution. Incorporating sophisticated energy management strategies (EMSs) into FCEVs can significantly enhance the efficiency of the complex powertrain under diverse driving conditions. In this paper, a dual-model predictive control energy management strategy based on long short-term memory (LSTM)-based driving condition recognition is proposed to enhance the economic performance of FCEVs and robustness across diverse driving conditions. Firstly, to improve the generalization capability and adaptability of the LSTM model and to enhance the accuracy of driving condition recognition, wavelet transform (WT) is introduced into both the offline training and online application of LSTM. Secondly, to enhance the real-time performance and control effectiveness of the EMS, model predictive control (MPC) and explicit model predictive control (eMPC) are established based on a unified optimization objective and constraints. Thirdly, a dual MPC switching logic is developed using the information of driving condition prediction, ensuring the coordination of dual MPCs in practical applications and enhancing their adaptability to various conditions. Finally, an evaluation of the simulations demonstrates that the proposed dual-model predictive control energy management strategy based on wavelet transform LSTM driving condition recognition (WTL-DMPC EMS) can improve economic performance. Compared with other baselines, the energy-saving capability is remarkable, showcasing its promising performance.
