Comparative analysis of fuel cell vehicle powertrain configurations
It was critical important to improve the efficiency,prolong the lifespan of the fuel cell stack and optimize the performance of the fuel cell vehicle in its powertrain configuration.Seven different schemes were presented for the powertrain configuration of fuel cell vehicle in detail.Different performances of these schemes were investigated,the schemes adopted by major vehicle manufacturers were also analyzed.The results show that fuel cell stack with battery that has the advantages of low cost,high reliability,and it is the ideal configuration and future trend.In order to improve performance of the dynamic system of PEMFC further,the key point lied in the match and energy distribution control optimally between battery and fuel cell stack.
