Reliability Investigation of a Hybrid Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Powered by Downsized Fuel Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuel cell electric vehicles are mostly relying on operation of their fuel cell and battery system. Single power source systems use battery units as backup; however, in heavy loads or instances with low State Of Charge (SOC) levels, there is a need for other mechanisms to provide reliable energy for the system. This paper investigates the natural enhanced reliability of operation in an advanced system configuration with two downsized fuel cells. The two fuel cell configuration brings high fuel efficiency by economic load sharing between two fuel cells. The reliability of this system configuration is investigated and compared with conventional designs of hybrid fuel cell vehicles.
