Electrical Drives with Fuel Cells for Road Vehicles

The paper deals with on board power plants for electric road vehicles, supplied by fuel cells. As it has already been shown [1], the plants’ performances may be analysed by means of a simple equivalent electric network. The paper contributes to this performance analysis by giving some characteristic surfaces of supplied dc voltages and to the definition of control strategies by suggesting a sample structure of a digital programme for the management of the dc plant electrical energy sources.
