A hydrogen fuel cell bus has three main components: the fuel cell stack, the electric motor, and the hydrogen storage tanks. The fuel cell stack is made up of individual fuel cells that combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water as byproducts. The electric motor is...
The function of an electric battery is to store the extra electric energy which the fuel cell stack generates. It then supplies the same when the vehicle needs more energy to run. 5. Control Module: The control unit monitors the overall energy demand of the vehicle and thus regulates the fu...
Within the fuel market, there are many different applications with different power requirements. In order to provide adequate power, individual fuel cells can be assembled together forming a stack. A fuel cell stack can be sized for just the right amount of energy for the application. Where are...
A hydrogen fuel cell operates through an electrochemical process that transforms the energy stored in hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen into electrical power without combustion. The magic happens in what is known as the fuel cell stack that is responsible for facilitating the electrochemical reactions, wh...
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership, a trade association of which Plug is a part, points out that “many automakers of passenger cars aim for a fuel cell stack lifespan of at least 5,000 hours or approximately 150,000-200,000 miles.” Additively, the Partnership further elucidates that “...
Recently, we are often asked about what is an electric hybrid fuel cell vehicle in the Chinese industry. In this blog, I would like to explain what FC Range Extender (electric hybrid fuel cell vehicle) is in China.
This is particularly helpful for fuel cell system engineers who need to design, validate and optimize the fuel cell stack balance of plant. Indeed, the updated component helps to quickly evaluate alternative components and control strategies by ensuring the right balance between performance, vehicle ...
It’s up to the BMS design engineer to decide which is optimal for the given battery pack and its application. Passive balancing is the easiest to implement, as well as to explain the general balancing concept. The passive method allows every cell in the stack to have the same charged ...

While the combustion in a hydrogen- or gasoline-powered engine is converted into mechanical energy, in a fuel cell vehicle, the chemical energy from the hydrogen and oxygen is converted into electrical energy. Of course, this is a very simplified version of what's actually going on under the...
