Book Modeling  Simulation and Optimization of Fuel Cell battery Hybrid Powertrains

Download or read book Modeling Simulation and Optimization of Fuel Cell battery Hybrid Powertrains written by Piyush Bubna and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel cells have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for fuel-efficient and emission-free vehicle power generation. Fuel cells are typically paired with reversible energy storage devices such as batteries or ultracapacitors to create hybrid electric powertrains. The electrification of the propulsion system and the presence of multiple onboard power sources require optimization of the hybrid system design in order to achieve good performance, high fuel economy, and enhanced component life at low cost. The overall goal of this research is to develop accurate vehicle models and conduct simulations to explore and demonstrate improvements in a fuel cell/battery hybrid bus. The first part of this thesis presents the features incorporated to improve a hybrid powertrain simulation package called Light, Fast and Modifiable (LFM). The improved LFM simulator was validated against test data acquired from various sensors onboard UD's Phase 1 fuel cell bus, and shown to be a reliable tool to simulate hybrid powertrain performance which could be used to perform design and optimization studies of future fuel cell hybrid systems. This attribute of LFM was then demonstrated by optimizing the fuel cell/battery hybrid power management by introducing a new prediction-based power management strategy. Simulation results for this strategy showed significant improvements in fuel cell system efficiency and reduction in hydrogen consumption compared to a conventional, baseline strategy of charge sustenance. A stable power request which promotes fuel cell durability was also realized with the help of this novel strategy. Finally, the benefits predicted from simulation studies were confirmed through implementation of the proposed strategy in the Phase 1 fuel cell/battery hybrid bus. It was concluded that the prediction-based strategy will lead to energy savings for transit applications. The validated LFM tool was next used to evaluate one approach to reducing battery stress by adding an ultracapacitor module, and thereby enhancing battery lifetime. Simulation of the energy storage performance showed a substantial reduction in battery current-load and energy throughput for the blended storage system, which are two of the contributing factors towards battery degradation. These results have opened up new research directions in which powertrain simulations can help in further evaluation of the blended storage concept and assess its feasibility and usefulness in electric-drive vehicles. Finally, the thermal behavior of the Altairnano LiTi battery, the future battery of UD fuel cell buses, was investigated. Preliminary experiments were conducted to understand the thermal behavior of batteries under typical operating conditions. A model was developed to predict the temperature during charging and discharging of the battery. The findings of this work should prove useful in designing effective and efficient battery thermal management systems.

Book Electric  Hybrid  and Fuel Cell Vehicles

Download or read book Electric Hybrid and Fuel Cell Vehicles written by Amgad Elgowainy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of "Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, Second Edition," covers the electrification of vehicles, which is key to a sustainable future of transportation in both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle sectors to address global concerns of climate change, air pollutant emissions, energy efficiency and energy security. Vehicle electrification includes several existing and emerging technologies and powertrain architectures such as conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrids with various electric driving range, short- and long-range battery electric vehicles, as well as hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Electrification will be key to connected autonomous vehicles, which are perceived to improve mobility, increase safety, reduce energy consumption and infrastructure costs, improve productivity, decrease traffic congestion and increase customer satisfaction. While electrification of vehicle technologies is relatively mature, technology improvement and economies of scale are needed to compete against incumbent technologies and to realize their benefits in the marketplace. Significant infrastructure development is needed in the case of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and to a lesser extent for plug-in electric vehicles. Vehicle efficiency improvement is sought through a combination of several approaches, including weight reduction, engine downsizing, increased engine compression ratio with high octane fuels, and the use of compression ignition engines with low octane fuels. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are needed in applications where high storage energy density is required such as long-haul class-8 combination heavy-duty trucks. Shared mobility is another emerging concept that enables access to transportation services on an as-needed basis. This approach can enhance accessibility to transportation, decrease number of vehicles on the road, reduce energy use and impact on the environment, reduce cost of transportation and the need for parking, and reduce transportation time between origin and destination. In all, the reader will receive a comprehensive introduction to electric vehicles and technology trends, including energy storage, in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty sectors, as well as the infrastructure development that will be required to realize these benefits for society.
