Abstract:The University of Delaware’s Fuel Cell Transit Vehicle Program was initiated in September 2005 and ended in November 2022. The Program consortium was led by the University of Delaware and included the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Ballard Inc., Ebus, Air Liquide, and Delaware Transit Corporation. The primary goal of the Program was to research, build, and demonstrate a fleet of fuel cell powered buses and hydrogen refueling infrastructure in Delaware. Additional goals included the research and development of fuel cell components for improved performance and durability, modeling and simulation of fuel cell systems and fuel cell/battery hybrid buses, thermal management of lithium-ion batteries, production of renewable hydrogen from a solar-powered thermochemical reactor, storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides, development of intelligent power management strategies for fuel cell hybrid buses, and determining the impact of connectivity on electric vehicle energy consumption and battery life. The Program also led to the development of the University of Delaware’s Center for Fuel Cells and Batteries, and helped to launch a startup company, Sonijector LLC.
