Power generation from Fuel Cells (FC) requires the integration of chemical, fluid, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and electronic subsystems. This integration presents many challenges and opportunities in the mechatronics field. In this paper we highlight important design issues and pose problems that require mechatronics solutions. We start by presenting the design process of a toy school bus powered by hydrogen. The FC toy bus was designed during an undergraduate student project. It was an effective and rewarding educational activity that revealed complex systems issues and familiarized us with the FC technology.

“…The categories of the FC vehicles which have been developed are not limited, therefore many sectors are involved including public transportation [9,10] military [11] and recreation [12][13][14]. FCs have no advantages over the internal combustion engine at full load.…”

“… Powertrain system design mainly contributes to the efficiency of vehicles. The leading parameter is not the power to be supplied, as is generally the case in FC powertrain design [12,15,16]. In the race, the constraint is to travel the Luneta Park track: 1.2 km per lap, for 10 laps (12 km) to finish the race within 24 min (average speed = 30 km/h).…”

This paper reports the analysis of an automatic intelligent controller for driving a prototype fuel cell electric vehicle over different obstacles while maintaining all systems at maximum efficiency during completion of a race within a specified time. The objective is to reduce driving errors, such as excessive driving, or over revving the throttle while controlling the energy usage at the minimum point and improving driving skills for the Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2014 race. The vehicle is equipped with a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system, a brush DC motor and a DC/DC converter. This prototype vehicle is a single-seater type of car and has a streamlined body shape that is designed for energy-efficiency racing where the objective is to achieve the furthest distance with the least amount of fuel in a specified time. In the design process, the car's fuel-cell efficiency, energy demand, track behavior, motor efficiency analysis, and driving control strategy need to be monitored and used to verify the designed automated intelligent controller. Experiments on the automated intelligent controller were undertaken to analyze the performance of the powertrain system for a certain given time. This powertrain system for automated intelligent controller analysis is part of the energy efficiency study of the electric vehicle. It forms the knowledge base for the next detailed energy efficiency analysis.

“…PEM Fuel Cell [3] The main advantage of PEM fuel cells is their high efficiency has been compared with other energy conversion devices [4]. This enables the productivity of a fuel cell conveyance employing unswerving-hydrogen FC to be twice that in a gasoline conveyance [5,6]. Besides, unalike the central combustion engines where the productivity is utmost with the excessive loads, the FC productivity is also inflated with partial loads.…”
