    Fuel cell vehicles (FCeV) have the following advantages over traditional gasoline vehicles: 1) They are more environmentally friendly as they produce no tailpipe emissions. 2) They are more energy efficient as fuel cells can convert fuel into electricity with higher efficiency than internal combustion engines. 3) They have a longer driving range as hydrogen has a higher energy density than gasoline. 4) They reduce dependence on fossil fuels as hydrogen can be produced from renewable sources.

    FUEL CELL

    VEHICLES
    INTRODUCTION

    • It is an electrochemical device
    • Converts directly fuel into electrical energy by means of electrodes.
    • Mostly platinum used as an electrode in Fuel cells.
    • Transports ions through electrolyte.
    • This produced electricity send to electric motors to propel the vehicle.
    • This FCeV have higher efficiency and lower mechanical friction losses.
    • Because of electronic controls in FCeV, the tuning of vehicle is very much simple and effective.
    • In FCeV, the fuel regulators and auxiliary units were needed to handle high energy density fuel then
    gasoline
    FCEV
    WHY FCEV ?

    • Environmental Benefits

    • Energy Efficiency

    • Longer Range

    • Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels

    • Versatile Applications
    TYPES OF FUEL CELLS

    • Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)


    • Alkaline fuel cells
    • Phosphoric acid fuel cells
    • Molten carbonate fuel cells
    • Solid oxide fuel cells
    POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE (PEM)

    • Automotive fuel cells were mostly of these types.


    • Methanol and Hydrogen is used as a fuel in this type fuel cells.
    FUEL CELL WORKING PRINCPLE

    • Hydrogen Entry to anode.


    • Electrochemical Reaction. (Split into protons (H+) and electrons (e-)).
    • Electron Flow through the electrolyte.
    • Oxygen Supply to cathode.
    • Electrochemical Reaction.(Protons travel towards cathode at that time it mixes with oxygen
    and forms water and exhaust).
    • Electricity Generated because of electron flow, these electricity is used to various operations.
    FCEV OPERATING SYSTEM

    • Fuel supply and storage system


    • Fuel cell engine auxiliaries
    • Electronic drive system
     Blower
     Pump
     Heat exchanger
     Sensors
     Controllers
     Motor
     Batteries
    FUEL SUPPLY AND STORAGE

    Storage of fuel is difficult in FCeV because of high specific energy of 146 MJ/kg
    where, Petrol having 46 MJ/kg. 5000psi capacity is needed to store hydrogen.
    FUEL SUPPLY AND STORAGE
    PERFORMANCE AND COST

    • When compared to commercial vehicles the performance of FCeV is higher and it is also
    higher in initial and operation cost because of noncommercial.
    COMMERCIALIZATION DIFFICULTIES OF FCEV

    • Cost Challenges
    • Durability Issues
    • Reliability
    • Infrastructure Development
    • Public Perception and Awareness
