Fuel cell and ultra-capacitor hybridization: A prototype test bench based analysis of different energy management strategies for vehicular applications

Hybrid polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell-lithium-ion battery powertrain testing platform - hybrid fuel cell electric vehicle emulator

“…However, taking into account the power range of the system, it has to be scaled up to be used in any real or useful application. Vural et al presented a prototype hybrid FC-SC test bench and investigated different energy management strategies for automotive applications [22]. A commercial Plug Power GenCore® 5-kW FCS for stationary backup power applications was used as the main power source of the hybrid system, and Maxwell Technologies SC bank was used as an auxiliary power source.…”

Two-phase flow and thermal transients in proton exchange membrane fuel cells – A critical review

“…They have been successfully implemented in a wide range of applications such as regenerative braking and stabilization of wind turbine power. Vural et al [16] and Thounthong [17] also discussed the use of ultracapacitors for fuel cell start-up, for power assistance during load increases and for the recovery of regenerative braking power.…”

Calcination removing soft template cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and its effects on capacitance performance of supercapacitor electrode MnO2

“…It can be predicted that due to unique characteristics of supercapacitors, it will have a huge development potential in the future vehicle market [7,8]. It can be predicted that the supercapacitor used as auxiliary power of fuel cell vehicles will have a huge development potential in the future fuel cells vehicle market [9]. However, at present the research and development of supercapacitors is still in the shadow of batteries (nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries) as a result of its high cost and low energy density.…”
