Mathematical modeling plays an essential role in investigating the behavior, design, and analysis of power systems. This article proposes a time-invariant mathematical model of the power system of a hydrogen-powered electric bicycle. The proposed mathematical model is derived using the generalized state-space averaging method. The proposed model is validated through computer-based simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The system responses obtained using the proposed model agree well with the simulation results under both transient and steady-state conditions. Furthermore, the proposed mathematical model significantly reduces the computation time compared with direct simulation. Thus, the proposed model is both accurate and efficient. The proposed averaging model is also suitable for artificial intelligence applications requiring iterative searching due to its fast computational time.
