In this paper, a review and analysis of current developments and future proposal relating to hydrogen energy are carried out.This paper considers progress in the development of renewable hydrogen vehicles, storage, infrastructures around the world, and in partcular in the UK with reference to the work of the University of Glamorgan's (UOG) Sustainable Environment Research Centre (SERC), who has developed the UK's first alternative energy refueling facility at the University's Hydrogen Centre in Baglan. The growth and interest of hydrogen based technologies can be seen by the magnitude of the events and demonstration projects carried out around the world. Research efforts at the UOG leads to the production of two tribrid vehicles and associated simulation models which can be used for further investigation and analysis of the problems such as energy management, system configuration, fuel consumption and hydrogen storage etc. these tools are also used to conduct an extensive study for control analysis, and math-based vehicle developments and controller design to improve system performance.
This paper describes the development of energy saving mechanisms for renewable hydrogen vehicles, thereby providing extended range and improved efficiency. Simulation studies of configuration setup and analysis for better energy management strategies are carried out using simulation tools developed by the University of Glamorgan (UoG), Faculty of Advanced Technology (FAT). The simulation tools are used to analyze the effect of operating conditions and energy demand of a hybrid vehicle. A dynamic model of onboard hydrogen production employing electrolysis energized by electricity recovered from the vehicle's suspension sub-system, is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink™ and integrated with a fuel cell vehicle model. The entire system model is then parameterized to represent a renewable hydrogen fuel cell vehicle for simulation analyses. Simulation results show that by using recovered energy normally lost in damping, appreciable benefits might be accrued from hydrogen production on-board.
