Abstract

This paper presents a design method of propulsion systems for fuel cell vehicles complying with the 42V
PowerNet standard. The method is based on field measurements during several weeks. Several cases of
combining energy storage devices to a common bus voltage are investigated, and the total mass, volume,
cost and efficiency of the propulsion system are compared. It is concluded that the number of energy
storage devices and their connecting to the common bus have a significant affect of the mass, volume,
cost and efficiency of the propulsion system.
