On the Design of a Hybrid Fuel Cell - Battery Genset for a Refrigerated Semi-Trailer Truck

摘要

This paper provides a comparison of different system architectures for a hybrid fuel cell and battery power source powering a refrigerated semi- trailer. Multiple candidate architectures are compared on their respective hydrogen consumption and variables representative of degradation. The comparison is based on simulation results and consider an energy management tailored for the design phase. The hydrogen consumption results show that results vary greatly depending on the fuel cell system architecture and power segmentation is a crucial factor affecting the fuel cell system's degradation and hydrogen consumption.
