Abstract

Abstract: Current issues concerning global warming and fossil fuel energy shortages impose to find alternatives in order to meet the growing planet's energy demand. The automotive sector is particularly concerned with these issues. The fuel cell seems to be a very promising technology. This article addresses a technological aspect of the integration of fuel cell on a vehicle. The chosen configuration is a multi-pack system favoring the use of several reduced power fuel cells. The energy management method is described along with the sizing and some simulation results.
