    摘要: A system for co-generation of electricity combining a hydrocarbon catalytic reformer, an SOFC assembly and a generator driven by a gas turbine. The fuel cell assembly recycles a high percentage of anode exhaust gas into the reformer. Oxygen for reforming is derived from water in an endothermic process. The stack exit temperature is normally above 800° C. DC power from the fuel cell assembly and AC power from the gas turbine generator are directed to a power conditioner. Anode exhaust gas including carbon monoxide and hydrogen is divided into a plurality of portions by which heat may be added to the reforming, gas turbine, and cathode air heating processes. Water may be recovered from the exhaust. A power system in accordance with the invention is capable of operating at a higher total efficiency than either the fuel cell component or the gas turbine component alone.

    摘要: Propulsion control system and method are provided for use in vehicles including a propulsion motor that is powered by a fuel cell. The fuel cell unit produces a compatible voltage for the propulsion motor, thereby removing the need for a dc/dc boost converter. A buck/boost converter and a standard 12 volt battery are used to start the fuel cell. An inverter receives dc electric voltage from the fuel cell and outputs ac electric voltage to the propulsion motor. A vehicle controller receives a voltage input from the fuel cell unit and outputs a current reference to a comparing device. The comparing device compares the current reference from the vehicle controller to an actual current of the fuel cell unit and then outputs a signal to a PI control which outputs a control signal to a fuel cell controller, whereby the power output of the fuel cell is controlled based on the actual current of the fuel cell.

    摘要: An induction motor drive uses direct vector control for zero speed start up. According to the invention, a speed sensorless induction motor is controlled at all speeds, including zero or substantially zero speed, using direct vector control. In order to utilize direct vector control at all speeds, it is necessary to derive accurate stator flux vectors at all speeds. This is accomplished in the present invention by calculating two sets of stator flux vectors in diverse manners. A first set of flux vectors is derived from measured stator terminal voltage quantities, and a second set of flux vectors is derived from measured stator current quantities. The first set of flux vectors is valid at non-zero speed and the second set of flux vectors is valid at substantially zero speed. The direct vector control utilizes one of the two sets of flux vectors in accordance with predetermined criteria indicative of zero and non-zero speed conditions.

    摘要: A DC Link for use with a multi-phase DC to AC converter provides soft-switch opportunities to the main inverter devices only when such opportunities are required. A quasi-resonant rail swings from source to ground potential either with or without the assistance of an auxiliary switch. The quasi-resonant rail swings from ground to source potential with the assistance of an auxiliary switch. Low switch stresses are characteristic in both the main inverter switch devices and the DC link switch devices. Main power is carried predominantly through a DC link switch thereby minimizing power handling requirements of DC link reactive components.

    摘要: An AC to DC power converter comprises an input filter for filtering the alternating current input and an output filter for filtering and smoothing the direct current power output to a load. The output alternating current of the input filter is rectified and electronically switched by buck and boost switching circuits at a frequency much higher than the frequency of the alternating line current input. The rectified line current is sensed and provided to a control circuit which controls the operation of the buck and boost switching such that the power line current will follow a predetermined reference voltage waveform.

    摘要: A hybrid fuel cell system comprising a solid-oxide fuel cell system, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system, a hydrocarbon reformer and a hydrogen separator. A large PEM provides output power, such as motive power for a vehicle, using hydrogen storage that may be resupplied from a separate hydrogen refilling station or from the onboard reformer. The SOFC is preferably small and provides heat and exhaust water that, when recycled into the reformer, allow the reformer to operate endothermically without requiring atmospheric air, thus excluding nitrogen from the reformate stream. Alternatively, the reformer and SOFC are stationary at a base station and the PEM is aboard the vehicle. The SOFC and reformer have sufficient capacity to recharge hydrogen storage in the vehicle in a relatively short period of time, such as overnight.

    摘要: A battery protection system for a battery having a switching mechanism positioned intermediate to the positive terminal and an electrical load of the battery. A controller manipulates the switching mechanism between an open position and a closed position, the closed position connects the electrical load to the battery and the open position disconnects the electrical load from the battery. The battery protection system utilizes a battery state-of-charge detection system, which instructs the controller to open the switching mechanism when the detection system detects a battery state-of-charge that is lower than a threshold value. The battery protection system is also equipped with a vehicle status detection system, which instructs the controller to close the switching mechanism when a vehicle startup condition is detected by the vehicle status detection system.
