| Abstract |
Electric vehicles are set to play a prominent role in
addressing the energy and environmental impact of an
increasing road transport population by offering a more energy
efficient and less polluting drive-train alternative to
conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Given
the energy (and hence range) and performance limitations of
electro-chemical battery storage systems, hybrid systems
combining energy and power dense storage technologies have
been proposed for vehicle applications. The paper will discuss
the application of a hydrogen fuel cell and high energy dense
battery hybrid energy/power source for an urban electric
vehicle. A review of fuel cell systems and automotive drive-train
application issues are discussed, together with an overview of
the battery technology. The prototype fuel cell and battery
component simulation models are presented and their
performance as a combined energy/power source assessed for
typical urban and sub-urban driving scenarios. |
