摘要

Energy required from ground vehicles in the United States (U.S.) Army is increasing due to the need for increased capabilities and mission duties required for an ever changing combat environment. These additional capabilities include silent watch (long term mounted surveillance), advanced radios/jamming devices/sensors, directed energy weapons, exportable power supporting stationary applications, and vehicle-to-grid connectivity. Increasing the combat vehicle energy output, while still fitting into the limited space inside each vehicle, requires an energy source that is compact, power dense and energy efficient. PEM Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) meet those requirements for primary and/or auxiliary power generators placed in vehicles for short or long-term mission roles. While PEMFCs provide a potential solution for the U.S. Army's vehicle energy requirements, there still exists a number of critical areas which need to be resolved before integration into combat vehicles is realized. These issues include: 1. Stack degradation from thermal-cycling and stack sealing loss, 2. Electrocatalyst degradation and 3. Cell membrane thermal degradation. In addition, specifically for the U.S. Army, vehicles significantly restrict heat rejection (due to low air flow from ballistic grills) to the PEMFC system in addition to vehicles operating in locations with elevated ambient temperatures, which can increase the stack operating temperature up to 140°C. Since cooling requirements for PEMFCs are typically engineered for operating temperatures closer to 65°C, these elevated stack temperatures could result in thermal degradation of the cell membrane.
