April 13: Fuel Cell electric propulsion

Time: 1-3pm Paris (CEST) | 7-9am New York City (EDT) | 7-9pm Beijing (CST)

Fuel cell systems have a long history. They have been used for more than 180 years in various applications, and they’ve been “on the road” for more than 50 years. Today, we see fuel cells in mobility applications such as fork lifts, buses and a some passenger cars. And because of increased pressure for zero CO2 solutions in the commercial vehicle and train industries, fuel cell systems are becoming more important. Though fuel cell systems are extremely efficient, especially at part load, there are still three major challenges, which we address in this session: Reduction of system costs and total cost of ownership through modular approaches; durability of the fuel cell stack for the lifetime of the vehicle; and thermal management of the fuel cell electric propulsion system, specifically the coolant fluid and overall vehicle integration.
