Control System and Purging Effects of Single Person Operated Fuel Cell Vehicle with 1kW Fuel Cells (Micro FCV)
Abstract
We have developed a single person operated small fuel cell vehicle which uses 1 kW fuel cells. The hydrogen used for the fuel cells is produced by a water electrolysis hydrogen generator using solar powered energy sources. The advantage of using solar powered energy sources is that it produces power without requiring use of fossil fuels. This paper presents the measurements, the control system, and finally the experimental results of the purging effects of the fuel cells.
