13. Schematic of electric drive train for FCHEV
R.K. Ahluwalia et al. / Journal of Power Sources 152 (2005) 233–244
14. Energy Flow within components for FCHEV
Energy flow within the components of FCHEV for FUDS: FCHEV with 65kWe FCS
and 55kWe ESS. R.K. Ahluwalia et al. / Journal of Power Sources 152 (2005)
233–244
15. Requirements for FCHEV
To be competitive with the conventional ICE propulsion system
in terms of drivability and performance, the FCS must satisfy
the following requirements:
• FCS alone must meet vehicle power demands under all
driving conditions: Top sustained speed of 100 mph, and 55
mph at 6.5% grade for 20 min.
• With the assistance of ESS, the FCS must allow 0 to 60
mph in 10 s.
• 1 s transient response time for 10–90% power.
• FCS must reach maximum power in 15 s for cold start from
20 ◦C ambient temperature, and in 30 s from −20 ◦C
ambient temperature.
16. Series and Parallel Hybrid Fuel Cell Vehicles
Series Hybrid:
•Small fuel cell, large battery
bank
Battery drives motor at all times
•Fuel cell operates continuously
and keeps battery charged
•Fuel cell is not “load-following”
Parallel Hybrid:
•Large fuel cell, small battery
bank
•Fuel cell drives motor at all
times, it is “load-following”
•Battery provides boost power
as and when required
