RWTH Aachen University

Homepage

RWTH Aachen University is one of the leading technical universities in Germany. It employs 564 professors, 2.200 scientific staff members and 2.100 non-scientific employees. In 2018, 45.256 students were taught in 158 courses of study in the fields of medicine, humanities, social and economic sciences, mathematics, computer and natural sciences, and engineering sciences; the number of graduates was 7.164. RWTH Aachen University’s wide reach is reflected in the 17 % of students from other federal states (not NRW) and the 20 % of students from abroad. The quality of teaching is ensured by a comprehensive quality management system.
The high innovation potential and the high level of research and development are ensured by strategic orientations and interdisciplinary cooperation, for example in profile areas, Clusters of Excellence and various centres. Recently, RWTH Aachen University was repeatedly successful in the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments; in the course of this initiative, it is addressing the major challenges facing our society in three Clusters of Excellence.

The Institute for Combustion Engines (VKA) at RWTH Aachen University is led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Pischinger and concentrates on all issues relating to the mobile powertrain. In many different projects, the VKA has acquired a high level of expertise in the area of classic internal combustion engine but also hybrid drives, batteries and fuel cells. VKA has sufficient experience in the field of fuel cell research. For more than 20 years, VKA has carried out several projects regarding fuel cells in the domains of simulation and the testing. With regards to the entire vehicle powertrain layout, several topologies for fuel cell systems are developed and examined by VKA with the main focus on full and plug-in hybrids as well as range extender concepts. Besides the fuel cell itself, VKA focuses the fuel cell system and the individual components of the system. In order to operate the fuel cell system most efficiently with respect to lifetime and energy demand, the hydrogen supply, air supply and thermal management are considered concerning mechanical setup and optimal operating strategy.

VKA has rich experience by increasing operating time of fuel cell systems in different projects. In the project FC system simulation – membrane water management at 2017, a modular simulation architecture for fuel cell systems was developed and then applied in developing operating strategies to extend the life time of the FC system. In the project X-EMU (2017-2020), a high-performance fuel cell power train was developed. Reducing the degradation of the fuel cell system is one of the main targets in this project. By combining experiments at test benches and simulations with 1-D and 3-D models, the aging mechanism of the fuel cell system was analyzed and a new control strategy was developed by VKA.

VKA has high performance hardware test benches and experimental equipment. At the affiliated Center for Mobile Propulsion (CMP), laboratory facilities are available for testing fuel cells, components of fuel cell systems and large fuel cell systems. Furthermore, Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing of electric machines can also be carried out. Detailed information about CMP is available in the section of “Description of significant infrastructures” below.

In this project, VKA will be responsible for WP1.4 and develop a maintenance scheduler concept to increase the operational time of coaches. In the course of this working package, VKA takes benefits from its fuel cell researching experience, related project experience and professional test benches. A new maintenance scheduler concept will be developed using predictive maintenance functionalities and state-of-health indicators, which enables early detection of faulty system operation and wear. Depending on the error source, the maintenance scheduler will enable countermeasures which could be a changed operating strategy or a workshop service.

Coventry University

Homepage

Coventry University is the UK’s second largest university by undergraduate student numbers. It is engaged in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching across several disciplines including engineering and computer science, and conducts academic research through its Research Centers, including the Institute of Future Transport and Cities (FTC).

The CoacHyfied project activities will be undertaken at the Centre for Advanced Low-Carbon Propulsion Systems (C-ALPS), which forms part of FTC and hosts Coventry University’s e-Mobility Group. The Group was established in 2019 and brings together existing CU expertise with academics in energy storage, power electronics and electric machines. In total the new group comprises of 21 full time academics making it one of largest UK based academic team conducting e-Mobility research. C-ALPS also includes a partnership with FEV which includes co-investment in CU facilities.

The main task of the Group is decarbonizing transport, with electrification of the propulsion systems as a key aspect. This is where the C-ALPS expertise lies, together with the energy storage systems design, assembly, evaluation and modelling facilities. The project team brings a wealth of expertise in the thermal management of fuel cell propulsion systems, which will be valuable for the development of advanced thermal management concepts in WP3.

FEV Europe GmbH

Homepage

FEV is an independent internationally recognised company in the design and development of electric, hybrid and fuel cell powertrains, power units and burners as well as a manufacturer of prototypes and instrumentation systems. FEV was founded in 1978 and has now almost 7.000 employees at various facilities worldwide.
As a supplier, FEV conducts the powertrain and power unit development projects from the initial concept phase through production release under direct implementation of the latest scientific discoveries. FEV has extensive experience in designing and developing new power systems as well as in the modification of existing designs. Our capabilities and experience extend to power system packaging and powertrain systems integration, including the control of integrated powertrain functions, certification, calibration and homologation. FEV develops and uses mathematical models for the analysis of mechanical stress and noise and acoustic, combustion, flow processes, thermal, medium and electrical flow management and for catalysis processes.

FEV is partner of Hydrogen Europe and furthermore participates in the European “2Zero – Toward Zero Emission Initiative”, the Public Private Partnership conceived by the European Commission in 2021 to focus public and private research on issues of direct and significant relevance to the Europe with regard to the competitiveness of industry and employment. Within this context, FEV is also actively involved in the European Technology Platform ERTRAC (road transport) and European Research Platform EARPA.

FEV Europe has many years of experience in developing and integrating and demonstrating fuel cell solutions for passenger cars and other applications. Also, the integration of electric powertrains is a key topic for FEV which can support the efficient integration of the FC systems into the powertrains and the powertrains setup of the coaches within this project. FEV will provide the hybrid control system and support the integration of the controls and the hydrogen system into the coaches. Additionally, FEV will look for efficient monitoring and data collection concepts. Last but not least, FEV will be responsible for the project coordination and is experienced in this context (at the moment coordinates 4 EU plus several nationally funded projects).
