Extended Range Fuel Cell Utility Vehicle: Design, Build, and Demonstration
Clay HearnApril 27, 2011
Introduction
• Program Goals• Team Members• Model Based Design• Vehicle Build
Powertrain Series HybridPrime Mover 8.5 kW Fuel CellEnergy Buffer 64V , 125F UltracapacitorFuel Storage 3.7 kg 350 bar compressed H2
Traction Motor 12.9 kW
Range 300 mileCargo Capacity 300 lbs & 12 cu ft
Program Goals
• Program sponsored through Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Crane to provide extended range hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for use at Warner Robbins AFB in Georgia– Hydrogen refueling infrastructure on base– Currently using hydrogen fuel cell fork
lifts– Numerous all-electric utility vehicles and
NEVs
• Maximize on-board hydrogen storage without sacrificing vehicle performance
• Build and deliver units in 8 months to Warner Robbins AFB for 12 month evaluation

Vehicle Configurations
• Li-Ion batteries double range of vehicle over stock lead-acid batteries
• Range of hydrogen vehicle driven by onboard stored hydrogen– ~ 10X higher specific energy storage with
350 bar hydrogen fuel cell over advanced Li-ion batteries
– Analysis to right assumes 2 kg on-board hydrogen storage
• Plug-in options increase range by 25% – 50% over fuel cell alone, but also increase vehicle mass up to 250 kg
• Fuel cell dominant hybrids increase range 25% – 27% over fuel cell alone

Hydrogen Storage Options
• Gravimetric capacity– Affects overall vehicle mass – Limits additional cargo bed
capacity– Reduces vehicle economy
• Volumetric capacity– Limits storage volume– Poses integration issues

Vehicle Integration• 8-month build schedule to retrofit two vehicles
• Supervisory control and data recording– NI CompactRIO– Labview software– CAN communication between fuel cell and boost
converter
• “Rolling Benchtop” testing
Final Integration and Testing• Completed October 2010• Vehicle Range Testing
– 309 mile range demonstrated– 87.8 mi/kg average– 5 days to complete!
• Vehicles include 120V 1.5 kW inverter for on-site power
• 12 month demonstration at DDWG began November 2010
