Abstract
In this chapter, an analysis of fuel cell power trains is effected starting from the examination of a generic configuration of battery powered electric vehicles, and evidencing the principle of operation and main characteristics of its components (electric machines, drives, power electronics and control techniques). Different electric energy storage systems are presented (electrochemical batteries, flywheels and super capacitors), underlining the main properties for automotive applications. The electrical and mechanical connections of different hybrid electric vehicles are examined and discussed, in particular thermal electric hybrids, vehicles using photovoltaic panels, flywheels and super capacitors, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Different hybrid configurations suitable for fuel cell power trains are closely analyzed, evidencing the key role of storage systems for the best performance of the fuel cell system.
