Control system design of hybrid fuel cell city bus

This paper introduced the design of the hybrid powertrain of the Fuel Cell City Bus demonstrated in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.The configuration of the hybrid fuel cell powertrain was introduced.The safety of hydrogen storage and delivery system,the hydrogen leakage alarm system were developed.The real-time distributed control and diagnosis system based on the Time Trigger Controller Area Network(TTCAN)with 10 ms basic control period was developed.The concept and implementation of processor(or controller)monitor and process(or task)monitor technique based on the TTCAN were applied in this paper.The fault tolerant control algorithm of the furl cell engine and the battery management system were considered.The demonstration experience verified that the fault tolerant control was very important for the fuel cell city bus.
