Concept and system design for a ZEBRA battery–intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell hybrid vehicle

Comparative analysis of battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid vehicles in a future sustainable road transport system

“…We have also assumed that the fuel cell type is a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), and have not considered other types of fuel cell which are also suitable for vehicle applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells, which are particularly suited for vehicles with well defined duty cycles in a hybrid configuration (Brett et al, 2006a;Brett et al, 2006b).…”

Feasibility study and techno-economic analysis of an SOFC/battery hybrid system for vehicle applications

“…All the details on the calculation of the power cycle can be found in Ref. [1]. This accounts for various efficiency losses, namely motor efficiency, transmission efficiency and power converter efficiency; all the remaining efficiency losses in the hybrid system considered are taken into account by the fuel cell and battery models explained next.…”

“…Initially, the suitability of the ABSO-LUTE hybrid was analysed for different fuels and vehicle types. A city car, light duty van and a metropolitan taxi were then considered running on compressed hydrogen gas (CHG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) [1]. However, the work presented here focuses only on the light duty van running on CNG.…”

“…Previous studies have looked at the design process of sizing the battery and fuel cell system for different applications and considered the fuel economy and range of different vehicles operated on different fuels [1][2][3]; in addition, modelling of the battery and fuel cell system [4] with a view to assessing the feasibility of thermal integration has been performed. This study considers the feasibility of developing such a hybrid system based on factors 0378 such as system size, emissions and techno-economics, by comparing it to a fuel cell-only, a battery-only and an ICE vehicle.…”

Novel Metal Substrates for High Power Metal‐supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

“…Over the past two decades, technical developments have focused on the development of both advanced SOFC materials and structures so that the reduction of cell operation temperature can be realized [4][5][6][7][8]. SOFCs with reduced operation temperature (600~800°C) provide numerous advantages such as wider choices of low-cost component materials, improved sealing and interfacial reaction prevention, and increased flexibility in the structure design [9][10][11].…”
