In this study, we consider fuel cell-powered electric trucks (FCETs) as an alternative to conventional medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. FCETs use a battery combined with onboard hydrogen storage for energy storage. The additional provides regenerative braking better economy, but it will also increase the initial cost of vehicle. Heavier reliance on stored might be cheaper initially, operational costs higher because is more expensive than electricity. Achieving right tradeoff between these...
The technical feasibility of electrified powertrains has already been demonstrated through several simulation and prototyping efforts. economic advanced for trucks not yet fully analyzed as it depends on a very large number parameters. There are examples battery or fuel-cell-powered used by fleets, but most these vehicles either part demonstrations incentivized government agencies. Wider acceptance with will be possible when they achieve performance parity conventional vehicles. This paper...
To reduce development time and introduce technologies faster to the market, many companies have been turning more Model Based Design. In Design, process centers around a system model, from requirements capture design implementation test.
