Abstract :
Fuel Cell has been considered as an attractive candidate for providing automotive power recently. Various advantages of Fuel Cell include reliability, simplicity, quietness of operation, and low pollution. This paper proposes a kind of drive system applied to Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), which utilized Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor as the traction motor. The mathematical models of BLDC motor are analyzed. The control diagram of drive system with torque closed loop control is proposed. The picture of the developed drive system is provided. The characteristic efficiency curves of the drive system in all speed range are tested. The experimental results confirmed that the drive system based on BLDC motor has the advantages of high dynamic responsiveness, high power density, high efficiency, wide speed range. It satisfies the operation condition of FCEVs and has been applied to ´Start II´ Fuel Cell electric cars developed by Tongji University.
