APPLICATION OF THE PROTON-EXCHANGE MEMBRANE HYDROGEN FUEL CELL AS A MOBILE POWER UNIT FOR THE HYDRIVE 1 VEHICLE
Abstract
This paper extensively explores the technology of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells, delving into its theoretical foundations, operational intricacies, and its specific application in the HYDRIVE 1 bolide. The PEM fuel cell plays a crucial role in the vehicle's power ecosystem by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, which is then utilized to energize the electrical system, telemetry, and engine. The drive system's specifications are meticulously presented, encompassing considerations of efficiency and safety. Choosing a hydrogen cell as the propulsive force for an automobile necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its operations. The study incorporates a thorough examination of various factors influencing the cell's performance, including operating conditions and the hydrogen supply system. Years of research have been dedicated to scrutinizing these aspects, facilitating a comprehensive analysis. The findings are then systematically compared with the manufacturer's data, enabling a holistic evaluation of the PEM hydrogen fuel cell's viability and effectiveness in the automotive domain
