Abstract :
In the study, we investigated the hybrid systems to reduce the hydrogen consumption of fuel cell systems. We used supercapacitors as auxiliary power source for hybridization. We set four different configurations using supercapacitors and DC/DC converters. We performed the tests on Istanbul University hydrogen powered vehicle. We extracted the energy and hydrogen consumptions of fuel cell for each configuration and determined optimum configuration.
