HYBRID VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH THE SYSTEM OF 'FUEL CELL-FLYWHEEL ENERGY STORAGE' FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

摘要

This study aims to propose and show the scheme of functioning of a hybrid-type vehicle with no polluting emission whose operation is determined by its connection to a "Dense Grid" public transportation network which is characterized by a short and regular stop spacing not greater than 500 m. Specifically the study refers to electric traction vehicles supported by supply and storage systems represented by the Fuel Cell and the Flywheel. The study considers four types of vehicles, each with a capacity of 10, 20, 30, and 40 passengers and measures the main components of vehicles' hybrid propulsion system at the variation of the characteristics of the transportation network.
