Fuel Cell Based On-board Power Generation - FCGEN

Vodja projekta:

dr. Boštjan Pregelj

Trajanje:

1.11.2011 - 31.10.2014

Financiranje:

Projekt 7. okvirnega programa EU, Področje: SP1-JTI-FCH.2010.1.5 Auxiliary Power Units for Transportation Application

Povzetek:

For truck applications the increasing demand for electrical power when the vehicle stands still has lead to an increasing need for an onboard electric power generator which operates with high efficiency and very low emissions. A fuel cell based auxiliary power unit (APU), with a diesel fuel processor is regarded as one of the most interesting options since it combines high efficiency, low emissions and the use of the same fuel as the main engine. The overall objectives of FCGEN are to develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept complete fuel cell auxiliary power unit in a real application, onboard a truck. The APU system consisting of a low-temperature PEM fuel cell, a diesel fuel processor and necessary balance of plant components will be designed to meet automotive requirements regarding e.g. size, mechanical tolerances, durability etc. High targets are set for energy efficiency and therefore this will significantly lead to emissions reductions and greener transport solutions in line with EU targets. A key point in the project is the development of a fuel processing system that can handle logistic fuels. A fuel processor consisting of auto-thermal reformer, desulphurization unit, water-gas-shift reactor, reactor for the preferential oxidation of CO, will be developed. The fuel processor will be developed for and tested on standard available low sulphur diesel fuel both for the European and US fuel qualities. Another key point is the development of an efficient and reliable control system for the APU, integrated with the truck systems, including both hardware and software modules. In the final demonstration, the fuel cell based APU will be tested on a truck as the first step in a defined plan towards full scale field tests.
