Development of a National Virtual Powertrain-Fuel Cell and Hybrid Vehicle Dynamics

我们目前正在进行公路车辆的大规模电气化。作为电动汽车的电源的主要选择包括电池、超级电容器和燃料电池。为了了解这些设备如何在车辆中运行，我们必须将它们作为动力系统的一部分进行连接，并了解互连性，通信和动态操作方面。该项目是数字测试和工程中心的一部分，旨在包括动力总成开发不同方面的领先国家卓越中心，虚拟连接每个站点。该项目的UCL部分涉及与电池混合的燃料电池堆的开发，该电池集中于在真实负载条件下运行的动态方面。

We are currently going through large-scale electrification of road vehicles. The primary options as power sources for electric vehicles include batteries, super capacitors and fuel cells. In order to understand how these devices operate in a vehicle we must connect them as part of the powertrain and understand the interconnectivity, communications and dynamic operational aspects. This project is part of the Digital Test and Engineering Centre and aims to include leading national centres of excellence in different aspects of powertrain development, connecting each site virtually. The UCL part of this project involves the development of a fuel cell stack hybridised with a battery that concentrates on dynamic aspects of operation under real-world load conditions.
