Paper Title
Study of Power Control Method for Fuel Cell Integrated Transport Refrigeration Unit
Abstract
A study of the benefit of integrate the fuel cell system to a refrigerated logistics vehicle. The fuel cell system acts
as an independent electric power source that can drive the electrified refrigeration system. In order to improve the overall
system efficiency, an optimal power distribution method is developed to control the power output by fuel cell and batteries
respectively to achieve a better fuel efficiency. The experiment data shows that the developed control method could improve
the fuel efficiency by 10% which could help extend the operation time of the integrated fuel cell-powered refrigeration unit.
