FC System Concept:Basic Requirements to Observe
• Power / gravimetric / volumetric Power Density
• Cost
• Durability
• (Freeze)-Start-up time
• Efficiency superior to any (hybrid)-ICE
• One Fuel on Board (H2)
These requirements strongly reduce the number of system options…
comparable to ICE

14
Conclusion
• FC-systems designers have to respect many ambitious requirements. The number of concepts able to fulfill these requirements is small
• OEMs participating in AUTOSTACK have agreed commonly on a system concept of choice
• Other promising system concepts exist, are however not broadly accepted within the automotive industry. Still, they should be further considered, in particular for the earlier markets.
17
Components Considered Part of the Stack
• Bipolar plates, MEA, Seals• Current Collectors + end plates• Stack compression kit• Casing / Housing (also for EMC*)• Flanges (quick connectors)• HV-Contactors + interlock• Vehicle mounts (brackets)• End cell heaters (PTCs) integrated in the stack enclosure – may be used for
stack discharge• Sensors (also for diagnostic purposes - may be removed at a later stage):
– Pressure: Coolant in- and outlet, Fuel in- and out, Oxidant in- and out– Temperature: Coolant in- and outlet; Fuel in- and out; Oxidant in- and out, End Cells– RH-sensors in the header (manifold part)
• Cell Voltage Monitoring Unit: – This will be required during development phase - Aim is to remove CVM– Already today, control strategy must be developed without the need for individual cell
voltage monitoring!

High Level Stack Requirements
Stack nominal power (gross, continuous) 95 kW (requirement)(System power 80 kW)
Stack Open Circuit Voltage <430 V (requirement)(limit set by power electronics – consider OCV > 1V @ freeze T)
Minimum stack voltage >200 V (guidance)(limit depending on E-motor and DC/DC converter characteristics)

Degradation Targets
• Throughout its lifetime the stack is allowed to degrade by 10% in max. power output, i.e. 1 W/cm2 0.9 W/cm2
• The max power is limited by the cooling power
• Therefore, the stack will be operated at maximum waste heat during its life
• As the stack degrades, the max power point will move to lower voltage and – in order to keep the waste heat constant – to lower current density, i.e. max power point moves along the “iso-waste heat” curve
24
Operating Strategy and Turn-Down Ratio
• The stack can be operated efficiently and stable within certain limits (highest power/lowest power = turn-down ratio)
• This results from the conflict of flow homogeneity vs. pressure dropknown in fluid dynamics
• Very low and very high power demands will be covered by the battery Hybridization
• This implies a start/stop strategy for the stack
• The stack will be switched of between5% and 10% of its nominal power,i.e. 5 kW .. 10 kW (= the required size of the battery. This corresponding to a TDR of 1:10 .. 1:20)

Summary & Conclusion
• The cost optimized Pt loading is influenced by:- the costs of membrane, GDL, BIP vs. Pt- the power density characteristics of the MEA
• With today’s MEA technology and price structure do not address low Pt loading at the expense of power density
• Power density is paramount target.High power density allows standardization, thus cost reduction

Required power density is only achievablewith a higher PGM loading
If roll good is desirable, development is necessary
Low PGM loading is in principle not an issue

Durability is still critical and may not be sufficiently analyzed
Proton conductivity at required rH is still critical

The desired cell pitch is with an average sheet thickness of 0.065 mm feasible
Additional coating and integrated sealing can mostly be provided (->properties of coating?)
