Research abstract
US Hybrid proposes to combine 6 of it's currently commercially available FCe80 units upgraded to provide the necessary 500kW net electrical power. A redesign of the existing balance of plant to reduce weight and volume shall be performed, along with the necessary changes for thermal management given sea water cooling. The system shall have a DC-DC converter that will be utilized to maintain optimum voltage on the DC bus for components being supplied. Each of the 6 cell stacks utilized shall be in parallel allowing maintenance on individual systems without the need to disengage the remaining units.
