What's inside?
In this paper, we present a novel methodology, that uses a system-level simulation platform to create a complete vehicle model and simulate the performance of a fuel cell powered truck in order to obtain the key fuel cell compressor operating points together with the resulting residence time spent on each point based on real driving condition.
The methodology highlights the importance of rigorous simulation as a means for improving component performance and system efficiency, while reducing time-to-market and thus development costs.
In this publication, you will:
- Discover a novel methodology that couples the fuel cell compressor design/optimization with the system-level simulation of a heavy-duty vehicle in real-driving conditions.
- Understand how to use the inverse design method to carry out design and optimization of the fuel cell compressor for multiple key operating points obtained from system-level simulation.
- Learn how the methodology can be used to generate high performance compressor designs very efficiently and save fuel consumption.
