View moreThe authors propose a change in the structure of the power plant of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) including a range extender system based in a Fuel Cell. The objective is that these vehicles can be presently used until the deployment of a full electric and/or hydrogen recharge network is fulfilled.
Sometimes technology and development of society run slightly different roads. This situation is now happening in the case of hydrogen as an energy carrier in the automotive world. In the article presented here, the authors propose a change in the structure of the power plant of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).
This is obvious, as the batteries have capacities lower than 2 kWh, and it creates an auto-generated product design drawback to commercialize these vehicles, as consumers will not feel comfortable without the availability of a full refuelling infrastructure before purchasing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Table 1.
It can be observed that the Li-Ion battery provides higher range than 100 km design requirement for battery working mode. When driving as an EREV, the fuel cell stack is capable of providing electricity to the battery and recharge it at different amperage levels: from 80 A (high level) to 10 A (low level).
It is not possible to establish a pattern for linking hydrogen consumption with the Amps used for recharging the battery, because there exists a strong influence of the driving cycle: the point in the cycle where charging starts can match high power demand or, otherwise, be a drop zone speed.
Secondly, the range extender is connected performing different recharging strategies based on the variation of the recharging amperage: beginning with high values (80 A) up to low values (10 A). The amperage will be analysed to find the better result for vehicle range. NEDC speed profile will be used as input data for the vehicle in both tests.
