Hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle with triple hybrid drive train

摘要: Motorcycles are major vehicles used for mobility especially in Southeast Asia, with their number doubling the last decade. also a reason air and noise pollution cities. In this study hydrogen fuel cell powered motorcycle prototype was designed, fabricated tested. The design criteria included futuristic style, ergonomic, low noise, zero exhaust emission high tank-to-wheel efficiency. Other handling flexibility, dynamic stability, good acceleration under any road weather conditions. A triple hybrid power train developed consisting of 7 kW proton exchange membrane cell, Lithium polymer batteries super-capacitor connected to an electric drive two permanent magnet motors. system consists light weight carbon fibre-aluminium cylinders total capacity 52 litres storing 1.25 kilogram at 350 bar. To ensure its safety against leakage, leak detectors automatic supply shut-off function installed. water cooling tested remove heat produced by stack electronics. It keeps temperature below 75?. Hollow stressed members mounting vehicle frame were which allowed flow process media cell. An on board data acquisition acquire real time such as speed, distance travelled, consumption, other information. Laboratory test analysis performance brake dynamometers customized collect required response efficiency Worldwide Harmonized Motorcycle Test Cycle 1 2 (WMTC). Different hybridization configurations compared. main conducted during successful participation technology class, 4,000 kilometre South African Solar Challenge 2008. During test, subjected different conditions including steep terrain, flat road, variable endurance. mobile refuelling designed refuel safely efficient. Results from endurance showed that performed according criteria. maximum speed achieved 82 km/h slightly lower than 100 due conditions, trade off hill climb capability 30% slope, have been made. 42.9% using WMTC2. best consumption measured 68.9 km one litre petrol equivalent. driving behaviour without fatal breakdown robust Also found increase peak 57% compare non-hybrid thereby reducing load cycles 35%. Finally, result can be predict range, traveling or
