The consumption of massive quantities of these fossil resources leads to extreme warming, air pollution, and the depletion of the ozone layer. Hydrogen can be the most promising source of renewable energy. Hydrogen fuel cells can produce electricity by allowing chemical gases and oxidants as reactants. The entire technology is environmentally friendly and produces water as a byproduct. The benefits of hydrogen and fuel cells are numerous but will not be fully apparent until they are in widespread use. Hence the usage of hydrogen as fuel in the fleet of cars will boost energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse pollution. For using hydrogen fuel cells in the road transport sector, the viability of the hydrogen energy network needs to be evaluated appropriately, and its tools, manufacturing processes, storage, fuel transport, dispensing, and consumption should be analyzed. This research discusses the key issues of elevated rates of environmental pollution in numerous urban areas and transport fuels efficiency and explores their protection measures utilizing hydrogen energy technology. In this study, the fundamentals, recent development, and prospects have been reviewed to analyze the practicability of consuming hydrogen as the primary fuel in vehicles and Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been used as the main fuel cell technology.

Summary The transportation sector consumes a large amount of fossil fuels consequently exacerbating the global environmental and energy crisis. Fuel‐cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) are promising alternatives in the continuous transition to clean energy. This article summarizes the recent advances pertaining to the optimization and cutting‐edge design of fuel‐cell hybrid electric vehicles, especially the fuel cell + battery hybrid topology, and discusses current technological bottlenecks hindering the commercialization of FCHEVs. The development of HEVs, markets, environmental and economic benefits, components, topologies, energy management strategies, degradation mechanisms, and safety standards of FCHEVs are reviewed. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells constitute the mainstream and most mature fuel cell technology for automobile applications. Battery hybridization is currently favored among the available FCHEV topological designs to improve the dynamic response and recover the braking energy. Energy management strategies encompassing logic rule‐based simple methods, intelligent control methods, global optimization strategies, and local optimization strategies are described, and issues and challenges encountering FCHEVs are discussed. In addition to promoting the construction of hydrogen supply facilities, future efforts are expected to focus on solving problems such as the high cost, durability of fuel cells, cold start, lifetime of batteries, security and comfort, system optimization, energy management systems, integration, and diagnosis of faults. This review serves as a reference and guide for future technological development and commercialization of FCHEVs.

“…2 shows the fuel cell volume increase, and cost reduction data [2]. There are various other types of fuel cells like Solid Oxide fuel cell (SOFC), Direct Methanol fuel cell (DMFC), Molten Carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), Alkaline fuel cell (AFC), and Phosphorous Acid fuel cell (PAFC) [3,4]. Among these, the PEM fuel cell is better in terms of power density, efficiency, transient response, scalability, robustness, simple construction, lower operating temperature, and faster start-up time [5].…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a clean energy generator as it emits water as a by-product. The fuel cell has various applications in stationary power generation and transportation. However, there is a need to improve durability for transportation applications. Fuel cell durability is limited as its performance degrades over a period due to aging, and fault conditions. In this study, we have compared fuel cell performance by using a new cell, and an aged cell. Degradation due to aging is experimented with by using a membrane that was operated for more than 2000 hours. Fuel cell performance degrades around 90% due to aging. Moreover, experimentally faults were created to study the degradation of fuel cell performance. We created three faults in the fuel cell system: Water flooding, reactant gas starvation, and high operating temperature. Fuel cell performance observed more than 30% degradation during the fault conditions. Furthermore, the coefficient of variance technique is used to detect aging, and the fault condition.
