Dual Variable Output Fuel Cell Hybrid Bus Validation Testing and Demonstration (Proterra Bus) Project |
摘要: |
Under the National Fuel Cell Bus Program, the Center for Transportation and the Environment is conducting the Dual Variable Output Fuel Cell Hybrid Bus Validation Testing and Demonstration (Proterra Bus) project. This project is demonstrating an innovative fuel cell system, using two 16kW fuel cell stacks packaged into a single 32kW operating system. The dual variable output configuration operates the two cell stacks in parallel during times of high load demand, and individually when less power is required, automatically alternating stack usage under normal conditions. The expected result could extend combined fuel cell stack life up to 75 percent. The battery dominant hybrid-electric bus is an innovative composite design developed by Proterra, LLC (formerly Mobile Energy Solutions). This design adopts modular elements allowing bus components to be updated quickly and easily. The bus uses advanced lithium-titanate batteries. |
