Hydrogen as a Vehicle Fuel

Abstract

Limited oil reserves and the ecological consequences of its use in motor vehicles impose an increasing need for alternative energy and drives. The use of hydrogen as the fuel of the future is one of the solutions whose commercialization has begun in the past few years. Although its use has no impact on the environment, the production process, which is still expensive, does. Transport and storage of hydrogen, as well as advanced, but expensive technologies for its use, also present additional challenges, which are examined by the authors of this review paper through few topics. The properties of hydrogen, the way it is obtained, stored and transported are presented. Particular attention is paid to the method of obtaining the propulsion energy by combustion or by using different types of fuel cells. The paper also covers some examples of vehicles powered by hydrogen.

An adaptive fuel cell hybrid vehicle propulsion sizing model

“…industry to account for the extra mass the parasitic components may add. The GCTP ratio factors in components such as battery management systems (BMS), thermal management systems (TMS), metal cases, cabling, and beams [43] . Different manufacturers have different estimates for GCTP, a GCTP of 0.64 is used for this analysis, which is the estimate for a 2017 Tesla Model 3 [43] .…”

While the GCTP is a well-defined and understood parameter in BEV's the equivalent, gravimetric cell to stack ratio (GCTS), for fuel cell systems have not widely been reported yet.…”

Investigation of High Speed Impact Resistance of Hydrogen Tubes Used in Hydrogen-Powered Railway Vehicles by Finite Element Method

“…Hidrojen enerjisi, çevresel emisyonlar, sürdürülebilirlik ve enerji güvenliği konularında yardımcı olabilen, yirmi birinci yüzyıl için potansiyel bir enerji çözümünün temel unsurlarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir [1]. Bu yüzden motorlu taşıtlarda hidrojenin kullanılması yaygın olarak araştırılmaktadır [2].…”
