Range Extender

Free-piston engine generators (FPEGs) can be applied as decarbonized range extenders for electric vehicles because of their high thermal efficiency, low friction loss, and ultimate fuel flexibility. In this paper, a parameter-decoupling approach …

To realize optimal power distribution between proton exchange membrane fuel cell and battery In fuel cell sightseeing vehicle, an offline extremum seeking-based optimized energy management strategy is proposed in this work. The simulation model of …

The water balance of a fuel cell decisively influences its performance. For examination, within an FVV research project a stack/system model was developed at the Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Conversion Systems (TME) at RWTH Aachen …

After 24 years, Prof. Dr. Michael Bargende is leaving the University of Stuttgart at the end of October 2022. In our interview, he looks back on his time there and assesses the current developments and future technological challenges. Prof. Dr.

This chapter reviews basic negative trends in development of simulation, testing, and prediction that includes discussion on the following: Impaired testing in engineering and negative factors leading to the slow improvement of testing methods …

Currently the two major development directions for the environmentally friendly drive of the future are battery electric vehicles and vehicles with fuel cells. Both approaches have in common that the drive function is an electric drive. In the …

In engineering, the word hybridHybrid is used for solutions in which two things are combined. A hybrid vehicleHybrid vehicle is a vehicle in which two drive systems are combined.

Given the prevalence of smart furniture and its representation in everyday life, it is logical to expect that smart furniture will become a common part of equipment in accommodation and tourist facilities. Having in mind the needs of the users …
