“…An on-board hydrogen production system, a fuel cell system, a direct current/direct current (DC/DC) converter (electrically coupled device), a motor drive system, an auxiliary battery (the concept range of the peak power source in this article includes power battery packs, and the concept range of the power battery packs includes lithium batteries), and a management system are the main components of the vehicle-mounted hydrogen generation fuel cell electric vehicle studied in this field. This field focuses on hybrid drive and control system design, as well as fuel cell and auxiliary battery management [88,89].…”

“…In order to create power and output the main power output, the fuel cell system primarily consists of a fuel cell stack, a fuel supply and circulation system, an oxidant (O 2 ) supply system, a hydrothermal management system, and a control system. The peak power system is also a key component of the fuel cell electric vehicle's hybrid electric powertrain [89]. This technology releases stored electrical energy, decreases the fuel cell's peak power consumption, and makes its operating conditions more stable when the fuel cell cannot deliver the driving power required by the automobile (such as starting, accelerating, climbing, and so on).…”

Nowadays, the combustion of fossil fuels for transportation has a major negative impact on the environment. All nations are concerned with environmental safety and the regulation of pollution, motivating researchers across the world to find an alternate transportation fuel. The transition of the transportation sector towards sustainability for environmental safety can be achieved by the manifestation and commercialization of clean hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel for sustainable mobility has its own effectiveness in terms of its generation and refueling processes. As the fuel requirement of vehicles cannot be anticipated because it depends on its utilization, choosing hydrogen refueling and onboard generation can be a point of major concern. This review article describes the present status of hydrogen fuel utilization with a particular focus on the transportation industry. The advantages of onboard hydrogen generation and refueling hydrogen for internal combustion are discussed. In terms of performance, affordability, and lifetime, onboard hydrogen-generating subsystems must compete with what automobile manufacturers and consumers have seen in modern vehicles to date. In internal combustion engines, hydrogen has various benefits in terms of combustive properties, but it needs a careful engine design to avoid anomalous combustion, which is a major difficulty with hydrogen engines. Automobile makers and buyers will not invest in fuel cell technology until the technologies that make up the various components of a fuel cell automobile have advanced to acceptable levels of cost, performance, reliability, durability, and safety. Above all, a substantial advancement in the fuel cell stack is required.

“…Zhang et al [ 9 ] analyzed the use of dimethyl ether (DME) as a fuel for on-board reformer in a PEM fuel cell system. They proved that the DME reformer could supply acceptable hydrogen for a FCV [ 9 ]. An on-board n-heptane fuel processor system was simulated for driving a 2–3 kW FCV by Karakaya and Avci [ 10 ], coupling a methane combustor also for supplying the required heat for n-heptane steam reforming.…”

An On-Board Pure H2 Supply System Based on A Membrane Reactor for A Fuel Cell Vehicle: A Theoretical Study

et al. 2020

In this novel conceptual fuel cell vehicle (FCV), an on-board CH4 steam reforming (MSR) membrane reformer (MR) is considered to generate pure H2 for supplying a Fuel Cell (FC) system, as an alternative to the conventional automobile engines. Two on-board tanks are forecast to store CH4 and water, useful for feeding both a combustion chamber (designed to provide the heat required by the system) and a multi tubes Pd-Ag MR useful to generate pure H2 via methane steam reforming (MSR) reaction. The pure H2 stream is hence supplied to the FC. The flue gas stream coming out from the combustion chamber is used to preheat the MR feed stream by two heat exchangers and one evaporator. Then, this theoretical work demonstrates by a 1-D model the feasibility of the MR based system in order to generate 5 kg/day of pure H2 required by the FC system for cruising a vehicle for around 500 km. The calculated CH4 and water consumptions were 50 and 70 kg, respectively, per 1 kg of pure H2. The on-board MR based FCV presents lower CO2 emission rates than a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle, also resulting in a more environmentally friendly solution.
