This study integrates durability and performance prediction in the sizing process of the FC stack of a fuel cell range-extender (FCREx) vehicle along with the design of a dynamics-limited control strategy. A novel degradation modeling framework is proposed to predict FC stack degradation rate. Results show that increasing FC stack power decreases H-2 consumption but increases durability, while increasing dynamic limitations on the control strategy increases both H-2 consumption and durability.
In this study, durability and performance prediction were integrated in the sizing process of the FC stack of a fuel cell range-extender (FCREx) vehicle together with the design of a dynamics-limited control strategy. For that purpose, a FCREx vehicle model integrating a FC stack, balance of plant, battery, H-2 tank and vehicle body (C-class SUV) validated in previous studies was used. To predict FC stack degradation rate, a novel semi-empirical multi-layered degradation modeling framework for automotive application is proposed and developed. Degradation rates are calculated based on reference degradation rates measured at reference and known conditions (1st layer) and scaled with the electrochemical phenomena (2nd layer) and the operating conditions (3rd layer) through scaling functions based on physical tendencies. Results show how increasing the FC stack power decreases H-2 consumption but increases durability, while increasing the dynamic limitations on the control strategy increases both H-2 consumption and durability. The isolated effect of sizing implied a decrease in H-2 consumption of-3% and an increase in FC stack durability of similar to 53% when comparing the 40 kW and 100 kW designs. In contrast, the effect of dynamic limitations was significantly perceived in the 40 kW design which implied an increase in H-2 consumption close to 8% and an increase in durability of 294% when comparing the infinite dynamics and the highest dynamically restricted cases. Nevertheless, the effect of sizing is neglected under high dynamic limitation and limiting the current density change rate to 0.001 A/cm(2) s may prevent the control strategy from fulfilling the charge sustaining mode in aggressive driving. Based on these results, a set of recommendations were elaborated for FC stack and FCV manufacturers aiming to apply FCREx architecture to passenger car vehicles.
