Abstract

Hydrogen consumption and mileage are important economic indicators of fuel cell vehicles. Hydrogen consumption is the fundamental reason that restricts mileage. Since there are few quantitative studies on hydrogen consumption during actual vehicle operation, the high cost of hydrogen consumption in outdoor testing makes it impossible to guarantee the accuracy of the test. Therefore, this study puts forward a test method based on the hydrogen consumption of fuel cell vehicles under CLTC-P operating conditions to test the hydrogen consumption of fuel cell vehicles per 100 km. Finally, the experiment shows that the mileage calculated by hydrogen consumption has a higher consistency with the actual mileage. Based on this hydrogen consumption test method, the hydrogen consumption can be accurately measured, and the test time and cost can be effectively reduced.

Summary

Introduction

As global energy and environmental issues continue to emerge, hydrogen energy’s zero-emission and pollution-free characteristics make it an ideal clean secondary energy source. Environmental sustainability stimulates the development of electric vehicles with excellent energy-saving and emission reduction effects [4,5]. This has aroused great interest in new energy batteries. Major developed countries, such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Germany, as well as the European Union have vigorously developed hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industries [6,7,8,9]. The research on hydrogen consumption and the cruising range of fuel cell vehicles is a hot issue. These two studies mainly focus on test method innovation, platform construction, and simulation modeling.
