Integration of BMS in electrical versions of conventional cars
Development and demonstration of an electric hybrid vehicle, which is powered from a 276V Li-ion battery system. Battery Management System (BMS) and a 12kW HTPEM methanol-fuel cell. The fuel cell will function as a ''range extender'' with the purpose to give the vehicle an autonomy of about 500 km. It will be easy and quick to refuel methanol and drive on. The vehicle for this project is an electric Fiat Scudo, produced by the Italian company EnerBlu and it can be used as a 6-9 person taxi or van. Tha range for this vehicle will be 150 km pr. charge driven on batteries and a radius of 500 km. When the fuel cell is being used. Puprose of the project is to develop this hybrid ''power pack'' for hybrid-electric vehicles by integrating existing components, develop and optimize interfaces between them. It is also our purpose to demonstrate that such a system can deliver eneough power to give such a vehicle the same radius/autonomy as one with combustion engine
In this project, Lithium Balance A/S developed and demonstrated a battery system that optimises the interaction between a Li-ion battery package and a methanol fuel cell. The system was tested on a Fiat Scudo electric car. The possibiliteis of filling the car with methanol and letting the fuel cell produce power, gave the car a range of 600 km before it was necessary to recharge the battery. The project resulted in an order from a Chinese car manufacturer. The project has integrated existing components, and developed and optimised interfaces between them. (Energy 11)
