This paper examines the impact of geographical location on the energy consumption of double deck fuel cell electric buses operating in two UK cities. By considering seasonal variation in ambient temperature, the implications on operational carbon emissions were investigated. Using a MATLAB/Simulink model the total energy demand of a vehicle operating on the UK Bus Cycle was simulated. Results show that the range of a fuel cell electric bus can reduce by 18.3% due to seasonal and geographical ambient temperature variations. The carbon emissions associated with refuelling can change by up to 17% between summer and winter and are 20 times higher when hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using grid electricity compared to renewable electricity.

摘要

This paper examines the impact of geographical location on the energy consumption of double deck fuel cell electric buses operating in two UK cities. By considering seasonal variation in ambient temperature, the implications on operational carbon emissions were investigated. Using a MATLAB/Simulink model the total energy demand of a vehicle operating on the UK Bus Cycle was simulated. Results show that the range of a fuel cell electric bus can reduce by 18.3% due to seasonal and geographical ambient temperature variations. The carbon emissions associated with refuelling can change by up to 17% between summer and winter and are 20 times higher when hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using grid electricity compared to renewable electricity.
