Enhanced fuel cell systems for real world commercial and passenger vehicle applications

增强型燃料电池系统项目的目标是为汽车行业开发下一代氢燃料电池发动机。由此产生的“生产意图”系统将旨在为小型，中型和大型乘用车和轻型商用车提供一个平台。发动机将采用系统工程方法，分为七个核心模块，每个模块都将重新设计，以提高耐用性、可靠性和性能目标，并为未来的低成本批量生产做好准备。每个模块都是独立的，作为一个单独的单元进行测试和验证，例如使用振动和温度和湿度循环测试。项目合作伙伴有以下角色：Ricardo UK Ltd作为客户设定项目规范，并将在项目结束时签署进度。智能能源有限公司正在开发燃料电池发动机。戴森科技有限公司正在开发燃料电池系统的空气输送关键子系统。TRW Conekt就测试制度提供建议，并对模块进行环境测试。

The objective of the Enhanced Fuel Cell Systems project is to develop the next generation of hydrogen fuel cell engines for the automotive sector. The resulting 'production intent' systems will be aimed at providing a platform for use in small, medium and large passenger and light commercial vehicles.A Systems Engineering approach will be used with the engines divided into seven core modules, each will be redesigned against improved durability, reliability and performance targets and for future low cost volume production. Each of the modules will be self-contained, tested and validated as an individual unit using vibration and temperature and humidity cycling tests for example.The project partners have the following roles: Ricardo UK Ltd is acting as the customer by setting the project specification and will sign off progress at the end of the project. Intelligent Energy Ltd is developing the fuel cell engine. Dyson Technology Ltd is developing key subsystems for air delivery into the fuel cell system. TRW Conekt is advising on testing regimes and conducting environmental testing of the modules.
