یک روش جدید برای خودروهای برقی با تامین انرژی باتری : یک سیستم توسعه دهنده محدوده مبتنی بر سلول سوختی هیدروژن

Sometimes technology and development of society run slightly different roads. This situation is now happening in the case of hydrogen as an energy carrier in the automotive world. In the article presented here, the authors propose a change in the structure of the power plant of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). The objective is that these vehicles can be presently used until the development of an electric and/or hydrogen recharge/refuel network allows being useful with the current status. In this paper a new concept of Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) based in a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) set model is presented. A study is then developed in order to determine the working conditions that will lead to better efficiency and performance, referring to capacity of both energy sources: electricity stored in a Lithium-Ion battery and hydrogen gas in high pressure tanks. The possibilities here shown open the door to strategic advantages and innovation for car designers in the future.
